at a stock loan rate not greater than a specified amount, and deliver for sale on the anticipated closing date such number of shares of our common stock, then we will issue and sell to the underwriters a number of shares equal to the number of

best interest to do so. See &#147;Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)&#151;Forward Sale Agreement&#148; for a description of the forward sale agreement. </FONT></P>

sale agreement is fully physically settled based on the initial forward sale price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (which is the public offering price of our common stock, less the underwriting discount
shown above). The forward sale price is subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the forward sale agreement, and the actual proceeds, if any, will be calculated pursuant to the forward sale agreement as described in this prospectus supplement.
Unless the federal funds rate increases substantially prior to the settlement of the forward sale agreement, we expect to receive less than the initial forward sale price per share upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreement.

will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of our common stock used in calculating diluted earnings per share increased by the excess, if any, of the
number of shares that would be issued upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreement over the number of shares that could be purchased by us in the market (based on the average market price during the period) using the proceeds due upon

imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and holders of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. In addition, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Oregon Control Share Act, which would
prohibit an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting shares of our stock after crossing specific threshold ownership percentages, unless the acquirer obtains the approval of our shareholders or we amend our articles of incorporation or
bylaws to opt-out of the Oregon Control Share Act. These statutory provisions may discourage or limit another party&#146;s ability to acquire us and could deprive you of the opportunity to gain a takeover premium for shares of our common stock. For

approval process for an acquirer could be lengthy and the outcome uncertain, which may deter otherwise interested parties from proposing or attempting a business combination with us and result in a limited number of potential acquirers. </FONT></P>

the public utility. Accordingly, any person or entity that will directly or indirectly hold 5% or more of our total outstanding common stock may require OPUC approval before acquiring the power to exercise such substantial influence. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a public utility subject to the Federal Power Act (the &#147;FPA&#148;), and any change in control over us requires us to apply for and obtain
prior approval from FERC under section 203 of the FPA. FERC presumes that a change in control does not occur when an acquiror purchases the voting securities of a public utility which securities, when considered together with all other voting
securities of such public utility owned, controlled or held with power to vote, directly or indirectly, by such acquiror and its affiliates, constitute in the aggregate less than 10% of such public utility&#146;s outstanding voting securities, so
long as there are no separate facts and circumstances indicating that such purchase would allow the acquiror and its affiliates, directly or indirectly, to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of such public utility. We
are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause FERC to reject this presumption with respect to aggregate holdings of less than 10% of our common stock. However, the purchase of our common stock in amounts resulting in aggregate
holdings by an acquiror and its affiliates of 10% or more would generally constitute a change in control requiring us to apply for and obtain prior approval by FERC. In addition, an acquiror that (i)&nbsp;is, or is affiliated with, a &#147;holding
company&#148; of the kind defined in FPA section 203, or (ii)&nbsp;is itself a public utility under the FPA, may have its own independent obligation under section 203 to obtain prior approval from, or make other filings with, FERC with respect to

additional shares in which case we will sell all of the additional shares of our common stock covered by such option directly to the underwriters rather than requiring the forward seller to borrow and sell such additional shares to the underwriters.

sale agreement, we expect to receive less than the initial forward sale price per share upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreement. See &#147;Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)&#151;Forward Sale Agreement&#148; for a description of the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Since becoming a public company in April 2006, we have paid a quarterly dividend on our common stock. On May&nbsp;22, 2013, our Board of Directors
declared a quarterly common stock dividend of 27.5 cents per share, payable on or before July&nbsp;15, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June&nbsp;25, 2013. Subject to the rights of holders of any shares of preferred stock
we may issue in the future, and the limitations under the terms of our Mortgage Indenture, our Board of Directors may declare and pay dividends on shares of our common stock from time to time out of legally available funds. We review our dividend
policy periodically and the declaration of any future dividends will depend upon our results of operations and financial condition, future capital expenditures and investments, any applicable regulatory and contractual restrictions, and other
factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant. In addition, the terms of our debt instruments may limit our payment of dividends. Under our Mortgage Indenture, so long as any of our first mortgage bonds remain outstanding, we may not pay or
declare dividends (other than stock dividends) on common stock or purchase or retire for value (other than in exchange for or from the proceeds of other shares of our capital stock) any shares of capital stock of any class, if the aggregate amount
distributed or expended after December&nbsp;31, 1944 would exceed the aggregate amount of our net income available for dividends on our common stock accumulated after December&nbsp;31, 1944, as determined in accordance with the Mortgage Indenture.
At December&nbsp;31, 2012, over $1.2&nbsp;billion of accumulated net income was available for payment of dividends under this provision. Please read the section of this prospectus supplement entitled &#147;Risk factors&#151;The declaration of future
dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and is not guaranteed and, in some circumstances, the payment of dividends may be limited by the terms of our debt instruments.&#148; </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to non-U.S. holders (as defined below) with respect to the
ownership and disposition of our common stock. The following summary is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), Treasury regulations and judicial and administrative authority, all of which
are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. State, local, estate and foreign tax consequences are not summarized, nor are tax consequences to special classes of investors including, but not limited to, tax-exempt organizations,
insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions, partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dealers in securities, persons liable for the alternative minimum tax, U.S. expatriates,
traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons who have acquired our common stock as compensation or otherwise in connection with the performance of services, persons that own or
are deemed to own, actually or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons that will hold our common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, &#147;straddle,&#148; &#147;conversion
transaction&#148; or other risk reduction transaction. Tax consequences may vary depending upon the particular status of an investor. The summary is limited to non-U.S. holders who will hold our common stock as &#147;capital assets&#148; (generally,
property held for investment). Each potential investor should consult its own tax advisor as to the U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and any other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For purposes of this summary, the term &#147;non-U.S. holder&#148; means a beneficial owner of our common stock that, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, is: (i) an individual who is classified as a non-resident of the United States, (ii) a foreign corporation, or (iii) a foreign estate or foreign trust. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will
generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are treated as a partner in such an entity holding our common stock, you should consult your own tax advisor as to the particular U.S. federal income tax
consequences applicable to you. </FONT></P>

under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional &#147;branch profits tax&#148; at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate). A non-U.S. holder who claims the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty generally will be
required to satisfy applicable certification and other requirements. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty. A non-U.S. holder can generally meet the relevant
certification requirement by providing a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) Form W-8BEN (if the holder is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) or Form W-8ECI (if the dividends are effectively connected with a

will be subject to U.S. federal net income tax on the disposition of our common stock. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors about the consequences that could result if we are, or become, a U.S. real property holding corporation and

the common stock. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common stock has been held for more than one year. In the case of a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation, such gain
may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate). In the case described in the second paragraph above in (ii), the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to a flat

reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. Under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement, copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax
authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides. U.S. backup withholding will generally apply on payment of dividends to non-U.S. holders unless such non-U.S. holders furnish to the payor an IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable
form), or otherwise establish an exemption and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a United States person, as defined under the Code, that is not an exempt recipient. </FONT></P>

in the proper manner. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding in their particular circumstances and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding.

by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to shares in, and accounts maintained by, the
institution to the extent such shares or accounts are held by certain United States persons or by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by United States persons and to withhold on certain payments. An intergovernmental
agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or future U.S. Treasury regulations, may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our common stock is held will affect the determination of whether such
withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and gross proceeds from the sale of, our common stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions will be subject to
withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies that such entity does not have any &#147;substantial United States owners&#148; or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity&#146;s &#147;substantial United States
owners,&#148; which in turn will be provided to the IRS. We will not pay any additional amounts to holders in respect of any amounts withheld. Non-U.S. holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of the
legislation on their investment in our common stock. </FONT></P>

each of certain dates specified in the forward sale agreement. If the federal funds rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the forward sale price. As of the date of this prospectus

of our common stock used in calculating diluted earnings per share is increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares that would be issued upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreement over the number of shares that could be
purchased by us in the market (based on the average market price during the period) using the proceeds due upon settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting period). Consequently, prior to physical or net share
settlement of the forward sale agreement and subject to the occurrence of certain events, we anticipate there will be no dilutive effect on our earnings per share except during periods when the average market price of our common stock is above the
per share adjusted forward sale price. However, if we decide to physically settle or net share settle the forward sale agreement, delivery of our shares on any physical settlement of the forward sale agreement will result in dilution to our earnings
per share and return on equity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The forward purchaser will have the right to accelerate the forward sale agreement (or, in certain cases, the
