NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Edison International has two business segments for financial reporting purposes: an electric utility operation segment (SCE) and a competitive power generation segment (EMG). SCE is an investor-owned
public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying electricity to an approximately 50,000 square mile area of southern California. EMG is the holding company for its principal wholly owned
subsidiary, EME. EME is a holding company with subsidiaries and affiliates engaged in the business of developing, acquiring, owning or leasing, operating and selling energy and capacity from
independent power production
facilities. EME also engages in hedging and energy trading activities in competitive power markets through its Edison Mission Marketing & Trading, Inc. ("EMMT") subsidiary.
Basis of Presentation
Edison International's significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 of "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" included in the 2010 Form 10-K. Edison International follows the same accounting policies for interim reporting purposes, with the exception of accounting principles
adopted as of January 1, 2011, discussed below in "New Accounting Guidance." This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in
the 2010 Form 10-K.
In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, including recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for the periods covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The results of
operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The
December 31, 2010 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents included investments in money market funds totaling $743 million and $1.1 billion at June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, respectively. Generally, the carrying value of cash equivalents equals the fair value, as all investments have maturities of three months or less.
Edison
International temporarily invests the ending daily cash balance in its primary disbursement accounts until required for check clearing. Edison International reclassified $185 million and
$197 million of checks issued against these accounts, but not yet paid by the financial institution, from cash to accounts payable at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined by the weighted-average cost method for fuel, and the average cost method
for materials and supplies. Inventory consisted of the following:

Earnings Per Share
Edison International computes earnings per share ("EPS") using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that
determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security. Edison

International's
participating securities are stock-based compensation awards payable in common shares, including stock options, performance shares and restricted stock units, which earn dividend
equivalents on an equal basis with common shares. Stock options awarded during the period 2003 through 2006 received dividend equivalents. EPS attributable to Edison International common shareholders
was computed as follows:

Stock-based compensation awards to purchase 5,896,940 and 9,645,334 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 5,896,940
and 6,080,199 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the exercise price of the awards was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective periods and, therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive.
New Accounting Guidance
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2011
RevenueMultiple-Deliverables
In
October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amended guidance for identifying separate deliverables in a revenue-generating transaction where
multiple deliverables exist, and provides guidance for allocating and recognizing revenues based on those separate deliverables. This update also requires additional disclosure related to the
significant assumptions used to determine the revenue recognition of the separate deliverables. This guidance is required to be applied prospectively to new or significantly modified revenue
arrangements. Edison International adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material impact on Edison International's
consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures
The
FASB issued an accounting standards update modifying the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Under these requirements, purchases and settlements
for Level 3 fair value measurements are presented on a gross basis, rather than net. Edison International adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011.

Table of Contents
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Fair
Value Measurement
In
May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update modifying the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance. This guidance prohibits grouping of financial
instruments
for purposes of fair value measurement and requires the value be based on the individual security. This amendment also results in new disclosures primarily related to Level 3 measurements
including quantitative disclosure about unobservable inputs and assumptions, a description of the valuation processes and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in
unobservable inputs. Edison International will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2012 and does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on Edison
International's consolidated statements of income, financial position or cash flows.
Presentation
of Comprehensive Income
In
June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on the presentation of comprehensive income. An entity can elect to present items of net income and other
comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. Edison International will adopt this guidance
effective January 1, 2012. Edison International currently presents the statement of comprehensive income immediately following the statement of income and expects to continue to do so. The
adoption of this accounting standards update does not change the items that constitute net income and other comprehensive income.

Note 3. Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity ("VIE") is defined as a legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the
following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as
the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. Commercial and operating activities are
generally the factors that most significantly impact the economic performance of VIEs in which Edison International has a variable interest. Commercial and operating activities include construction,
operation and maintenance, fuel procurement, dispatch and compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements.
Categories of Variable Interest Entities
Projects or Entities that are Consolidated
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, EMG consolidated 13 and 14 projects, respectively, with a total generating capacity of 570 MW
and 580 MW, respectively, that have interests held by others. In April 2011, EMG sold its 75% ownership interest in a Minnesota wind project.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, assets serving as collateral for the debt obligations had a carrying value of $163 million and primarily consist of
property, plant and equipment.
Variable Interest in VIEs that are not Consolidated
Power
Purchase Contracts
SCE
has 16 power purchase agreements ("PPAs") that have variable interests in VIEs, including 6 tolling agreements through which SCE provides the natural gas to operate the
plants and 10 contracts with qualifying facilities ("QFs") that contain variable pricing provisions based on the price of natural gas. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these
VIEs since it does not control the commercial and operating activities of these entities. In general, because payments for capacity are the primary source of income, the most significant economic
activity for SCE's VIEs is the operation and maintenance of the power plants.
As
of the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in SCE's consolidated balance sheet that relate to its involvement with VIEs result from amounts due under the PPAs or the
fair value of those derivative contracts. Under these contracts, SCE recovers the costs incurred under its approved long-term power procurement plans. SCE has no residual interest in the
entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase
commitments described in Note 9. As a result, there is no significant potential exposure to loss as a result of SCE's involvement with these VIEs. The aggregate capacity dedicated to SCE for
these VIE projects was 3,820 MW at June 30, 2011 and the amounts that SCE paid to these projects were $83 million and $117 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010, respectively, and $169 million and $242 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts are recovered in customer rates.
Equity
Interests
EMG
accounts for domestic gas and wind energy projects in which it has less than a 100% ownership interest, and cannot exercise unilateral control, under the equity method.
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, EMG had five significant variable interests in natural gas projects that are not consolidated, consisting of the Big 4 projects (Kern River,
Midway-Sunset, Sycamore and Watson) and the Sunrise project. A subsidiary of EMG operates three of the four Big 4 projects and the Sunrise project and EMG's partner provides the fuel management
services for the Big 4 projects. In addition, the executive director of these projects is provided by EMG's partner. Commercial and operating activities are jointly controlled by a management
committee of each VIE. Accordingly, EMG accounts for its variable interests under the equity method.
At
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, EMG accounts for its interests in two renewable wind generating facilities, the Elkhorn Ridge and San Juan Mesa projects, under the equity method.
In addition, EMG
11
Table of Contents
accounts
for its interests in Community Wind North, which achieved commercial operation on May 28, 2011, under the equity method. The commercial and operating activities of these entities are
jointly directed by representatives of each partner. Thus, EMG is not the primary beneficiary of these projects.
The
following table presents the carrying amount of EMG's investments in unconsolidated VIEs and the maximum exposure to loss for each investment:

EMG's maximum exposure to loss in its VIEs accounted for under the equity method is generally limited to its investment in these entities. One of EMG's domestic energy projects
has long-term debt that is secured by a pledge of project entity assets, but does not provide for recourse to EMG. Accordingly, a default under the project financing could result in
foreclosure on the assets of the project entity resulting in a loss of some or all of EMG's investment, but would not require EMG to contribute additional capital. At June 30, 2011, entities
which EMG has accounted for under the equity method had indebtedness of $65 million, of which $16 million is proportionate to EMG's ownership interest in this project.
Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date, referred to as an exit price. Fair value of an asset or liability should consider assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability, including assumptions about nonperformance risk.
Edison
International categorizes financial assets and liabilities into a fair value hierarchy based on valuation inputs used to derive fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to
unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

- Amounts
reported in "Competitive power generation" revenue on Edison International's consolidated statements of income were $14 million
and $(2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were $8 million and $32 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The remainder of the unrealized losses relate to SCE. See 2 above.
Edison International determines the fair value for transfers in and transfers out of each level at the end of each reporting period. There were no significant
transfers between levels during 2011 and 2010.
Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value
Level 1
Includes
financial assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are available at the measurement date for
identical assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 include exchange-traded equity securities, exchange traded derivatives, U.S. treasury securities and
money market funds.
Level 2
Pricing
inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly, for substantially the full term of the derivative instrument. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed-income securities and
over-the-counter derivatives.
Derivative
contracts that are over-the-counter traded are valued using pricing models to determine the net present value of estimated future cash flows and are generally
classified as Level 2. Inputs to the pricing models include forward published or posted clearing prices from exchanges (New York Mercantile Exchange and Intercontinental Exchange) for similar
instruments and discount rates. A primary source that best represents traded activity for each market is used to develop observable forward market prices in determining the fair value of these
positions. Broker quotes or prices from exchanges are used to validate and corroborate the primary source. These price quotations reflect mid-market prices (average of bid and ask) and are
obtained from sources believed to provide the most liquid market for the commodity. Broker quotes are incorporated when corroborated with other information which may include a combination of prices
from exchanges, other brokers and comparison to executed trades.

Table of Contents
Level 3
Includes
financial assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using techniques that require significant unobservable inputs.
Over-the-counter options, bilateral contracts, capacity contracts, QF contracts, derivative contracts that trade infrequently (such as congestion revenue rights ("CRRs") in the
California market), long-term power agreements, and derivative contracts with counterparties that have significant nonperformance risks are generally valued using pricing models that
incorporate unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3. Assumptions are made in order to value derivative contracts in which observable inputs are not available. In circumstances where
Edison International cannot verify fair value with observable market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. As
markets continue to develop and more pricing information becomes available, Edison International continues to assess valuation methodologies used to determine fair value.
For
derivative contracts that trade infrequently (illiquid financial transmission rights and CRRs), changes in fair value are based on models forecasting the value of those contracts. The models'
inputs are reviewed and the fair value is adjusted when it is concluded that a change in inputs would result in a new valuation that better reflects the fair value of those derivative contracts. For
illiquid long-term power agreements, fair value is based upon the discounting of future electricity and natural gas prices derived from a proprietary model using the risk free discount
rate for a similar duration contract, adjusted for credit risk and market liquidity. Changes in fair value are based on changes to forward market prices, including forecasted prices for illiquid
forward periods. The fair value of the majority of SCE's derivatives
that are classified as Level 3 is determined using uncorroborated non-binding broker quotes and models which may require SCE to extrapolate short-term observable inputs
in order to calculate fair value. Broker quotes are obtained from several brokers and compared against each other for reasonableness.
Nonperformance Risk
The fair value of the derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted for nonperformance risk. To assess nonperformance risks, SCE considers the
probability of and the estimated loss incurred if a party to the transaction were to default. SCE also considers collateral, netting agreements, guarantees and other forms of credit support when
assessing nonperformance. EMG reviews credit ratings of counterparties (and related default rates based on such credit ratings) and prices of credit default swaps. The market price (or premium) for
credit default swaps represents the price that a counterparty would pay to transfer the risk of default, typically bankruptcy, to another party. A credit default swap is not directly comparable to the
credit risks of derivative contracts, but provides market information of the related risk of nonperformance. The nonperformance risk adjustment represented an insignificant amount at both
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts
SCE's nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity securities, U.S. treasury securities and other fixed-income securities. Equity and
treasury securities are classified as Level 1 as fair value is determined by observable market prices in active or highly liquid and transparent markets. The remaining fixed-income securities
are classified as Level 2. The fair value of these financial instruments is based on evaluated prices that reflect significant observable market information such as reported trades, actual
trade information of similar securities, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers and relevant credit information.

Fair values of long-term debt are based on evaluated prices that reflect significant observable market information such as reported trades, actual trade information
of similar securities, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes of new issue prices and relevant credit information.
The
carrying value of trade receivables, payables and short-term debt approximates fair value.
Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements
Long-Term Debt
In May 2011, SCE issued $500 million of 3.875% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2021. The proceeds from these bonds were used to
repay commercial paper borrowings and to fund SCE's capital program.
In
May 2011, SCE purchased $56 million of its tax-exempt bonds that were subject to remarketing and also converted these bonds to a variable rate structure. These bonds are held by
SCE and remain outstanding and have not been retired or cancelled.
Project Financings
Walnut Creek
On July 27, 2011, EMG completed, through wholly owned subsidiaries, non-recourse financings to fund construction of the Walnut
Creek project, a 479 MW natural gas-fired peaker plant in southern California. The financings included $122 million of letter of credit and working capital facilities, and also
included floating rate construction loans totaling $495 million (with initial fundings of $48 million) that will convert to 10-year amortizing term loans by June 30,
2013, subject to meeting specified conditions.
As
of July 27, 2011, EME entered into interest rate swap agreements and forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that converted the floating rate London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
construction loans to fixed rates. Under the interest rate swap agreements, EME will pay fixed rates of an average of 0.81% through May 31, 2013. Under the forward-starting swaps agreements,
EME will pay an average fixed rate of 3.59% beginning June 30, 2013 through May 31, 2023. Interest under the project-level construction term loan of $442 million initially accrues
at LIBOR plus 2.25% and increases by 0.25% after the third, sixth and ninth anniversaries. Interest on the intermediate holding company construction term loan of $53 million accrues at LIBOR
plus 4.00% over the term.
Viento Funding II Wind Financing Amendment
In February 2011, EME completed, through its subsidiary, Viento Funding II, Inc., an amendment of its 2009 non-recourse financing
of its interests in the Wildorado, San Juan Mesa and Elkhorn Ridge wind projects. The amendment increased the financing amount to $255 million, which included a $227 million
ten-year term loan (expiring in December 2020), a $23 million seven-year letter of credit facility and a $5 million seven-year working capital
facility. At June 30, 2011, $216 million was outstanding under this loan. The amount of outstanding letters of credit was $23 million. Interest under the term loan accrues at
LIBOR plus 2.75% initially with the rate increasing 0.25% on every fourth anniversary.
Credit Agreements and Short-Term Debt
At June 30, 2011, SCE's outstanding short-term debt was $200 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.33%. This
short-term debt was supported by a $2.4 billion credit facility. At December 31, 2010, there was no outstanding short-term debt. At June 30, 2011, letters
of credit issued under SCE's credit facilities aggregated $71 million and are scheduled to expire in twelve months or less.
At
June 30, 2011, Edison International (Parent)'s outstanding short-term debt was $79 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.55%. At December 31, 2010, the
outstanding short-term debt was $19 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.63%.

Letters of Credit
At June 30, 2011, standby letters of credit under EME's credit facility aggregated $116 million and were scheduled to expire as
follows: $39 million in 2011 and $77 million in 2012. The aggregate amount includes $39 million of letters of credit issued for the benefit of SCE, which is the power purchase
agreement counterparty for the Walnut Creek project. In addition, letters of credit under EME's subsidiaries' credit facilities aggregated $51 million, $3 million of which was under the
Midwest Generation, LLC (Midwest Generation) credit facility, and were scheduled to expire as follows: $7 million in 2011, $16 million in 2012, $10 million in 2017, and
$18 million in 2018. Certain letters of credit are subject to automatic annual renewal provisions.
Note 6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Electric Utility
Commodity Price Risk
SCE is exposed to commodity price risk which represents the potential impact that can be caused by a change in the market value of a particular
commodity. SCE's hedging program reduces ratepayer exposure to variability in market prices related to SCE's power and gas activities. As part of this program, SCE enters into options, swaps,
forwards, tolling arrangements and CRRs. These transactions are pre-approved by the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") or executed in compliance with CPUC-approved
procurement plans. SCE recovers its related hedging costs through the energy resource recovery account ("ERRA") balancing account, and as a result, exposure to commodity price risk is not expected to
impact earnings, but may impact cash flows.
SCE's
electricity price exposure arises from electricity purchased from and sold to the California and other wholesale markets as a result of differences between SCE's load requirements and the amount
of energy delivered from its generating facilities, power purchase agreements and California Department of Water Resources ("CDWR") contracts allocated to SCE.
SCE's
natural gas price exposure arises from natural gas purchased for generation at the Mountainview power plant and peaker plants, QF contracts where pricing is based on a monthly natural gas index
and power purchase agreements in which SCE has agreed to provide the natural gas needed for generation, referred to as tolling arrangements.

Income Statement Impact of Derivative Instruments
SCE recognizes realized gains and losses on derivative instruments as purchased-power expense and expects to recover these costs from ratepayers. As
a result, realized gains and losses are not reflected in earnings, but may temporarily affect cash flows. Due to expected future recovery from ratepayers, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as
regulatory assets and liabilities and therefore are also not reflected in earnings. The results of derivative activities and related regulatory offsets are recorded in cash flows from operating
activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Contingent Features/Credit Related Exposure
Certain derivative instruments and power procurement contracts under SCE's power and natural gas hedging activities contain collateral requirements.
SCE has historically provided collateral in the form of cash and/or letters of credit for the benefit of counterparties. These requirements can vary depending upon the level of unsecured credit
extended by counterparties, changes in market prices relative to contractual commitments and other factors.
Certain
of these power contracts contain a provision that requires SCE to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies, referred to as a
credit-risk-related contingent feature. If SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to pay the derivative liability or post additional
collateral. The aggregate fair value of all derivative liabilities with these credit-risk-related contingent features was $164 million and $67 million as of
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, for which SCE has posted no collateral and $4 million of collateral to its
19
Table of Contents
counterparties
for the respective periods. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on June 30, 2011, SCE would be
required to post $12 million of collateral.
Counterparty
Default Risk Exposure
As
part of SCE's procurement activities, SCE contracts with a number of utilities, energy companies, financial institutions, and other companies, collectively referred to as
counterparties. If a counterparty were to default on its contractual obligations, SCE could be exposed to potentially volatile spot markets for buying replacement power or selling excess power. In
addition, SCE would be exposed to the risk of non-payment of accounts receivable, primarily related to sales of excess energy and realized gains on derivative instruments. All of the
contracts that SCE has entered into with counterparties are either entered into under SCE's short-term or long-term procurement plan which has been approved by the CPUC, or the
contracts are approved by the CPUC before becoming effective. As a result of regulatory recovery mechanisms, losses from non-performance are not expected to affect earnings, but may
temporarily affect cash flows.
To
manage credit risk, SCE looks at the risk of a potential default by counterparties. Credit risk is measured by the loss that would be incurred if counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the
terms of their contractual obligations. To mitigate credit risk from counterparties, master netting agreements are used whenever possible and counterparties may be required to pledge collateral when
deemed necessary.
Competitive Power Generation
EMG uses derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to market risks that arise from price fluctuations of electricity, capacity, fuel, emission
allowances, and transmission rights. Additionally, EMG's financial results can be affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The derivative financial instruments vary in duration, ranging from a few
days to several years, depending upon the instrument. To the extent that EMG does not use derivative instruments to hedge these market risks, the unhedged portions will be subject to the risks and
benefits of spot market price movements.
Risk
management positions may be designated as cash flow hedges or economic hedges, which are derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges. Economic hedges are accounted for at fair value
on EMG's consolidated balance sheets with offsetting changes recorded on the consolidated statements of operations. For derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the fair
value is recognized, to the extent effective, on EMG's consolidated balance sheets with offsetting changes in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the related forecasted
transaction occurs. The results of derivative activities are recorded in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Derivative
instruments that are utilized for trading purposes are measured at fair value and included on the consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value are
recognized in operating revenues on the consolidated statements of operations.
Where
EMG's derivative instruments are subject to a master netting agreement and the criteria of authoritative guidance are met, EMG presents its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis on
its consolidated balance sheets.

- EMG's
hedge products include forward and futures contracts that qualify for hedge accounting. This category excludes power contracts for the
coal plants which meet the normal purchases and sales exception and are accounted for on the accrual method.
- 2
- EMG's
hedge transactions for capacity result from bilateral trades. Capacity sold in the PJM Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) auction is not
accounted for as a derivative.
- 3
- EMG
also entered into transactions that adjust financial and physical positions, or day-ahead and real-time positions to
reduce costs or increase gross margin. These positions largely offset each other. The net sales positions of these categories are primarily related to hedge transactions that are not designated as
cash flow hedges.
- 4
- Congestion
contracts include financial transmission rights, transmission congestion contracts or congestion revenue rights. These positions are
similar to a swap, where the buyer is entitled to receive a stream of revenues (or charges) based on the hourly day-ahead price differences between two locations.

derivative gains (losses) are before income taxes. The after-tax amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) at June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $(9) million and $50 million, respectively.
For additional information, see Note 11Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.
The
portion of a cash flow hedge that does not offset the change in the value of the transaction being hedged, which is commonly referred to as the ineffective portion, is immediately recognized in
earnings. EMG recorded net gains (losses) of none and $(7) million during the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2 million and $1 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in operating revenues on the consolidated statements of operations representing the amount of cash flow hedge ineffectiveness.

Contingent Features
Certain derivative instruments contain margin and collateral deposit requirements. Since EMG's subsidiaries' credit ratings are below investment
grade, EMG's subsidiaries have provided collateral in the form of cash and letters of credit for the benefit of derivative counterparties. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with
credit-risk-related contingent features was in an asset position at June 30, 2011 and, accordingly, the contingent features described below do not currently have
liquidity exposure. Some hedge contracts include provisions related to a change in control or material adverse effect resulting from amendments or modifications to the related
credit facility. Failure by EMG or Midwest Generation to comply with these provisions may result in a termination event under the hedge contracts, enabling the counterparties to terminate and
liquidate all outstanding transactions and demand immediate payment of amounts owed to them. Edison Mission Marketing & Trading, Inc. ("EMMT") has hedge contracts that do not require
margin, but provide that each party can request additional credit support in the form of adequate assurance of performance in the case of an adverse development affecting the other party. Future
increases in power prices could expose EMG's subsidiaries to termination payments or additional collateral postings.
Margin and Collateral Deposits
Margin and collateral deposits include cash deposited with counterparties and brokers, and cash received from counterparties and brokers as credit
support under energy contracts. The amount of margin and collateral deposits generally varies based on changes in the fair value of the related positions. Edison International nets counterparty
receivables and payables where balances exist under master netting agreements. Edison International presents the portion of its margin and collateral deposits netted with its derivative positions on
its consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes margin and collateral deposits provided to and received from counterparties:

- During
the second quarter of 2010, Edison International recognized a $138 million earnings benefit resulting from the acceptance by the
California Franchise Tax Board of the tax positions finalized with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in 2009 as part of the Global Settlement.
- 2
- During
the second quarter of 2010, the IRS approved Edison International's request to change its tax accounting method for asset removal costs
primarily related to SCE's infrastructure replacement program. As a result, Edison International recognized a $40 million earnings benefit (of which $28 million relates to asset removal
costs incurred prior to 2010) from deducting asset removal costs earlier in the construction cycle. These deductions were recorded on a flow-through basis.
- 3
- During
the first quarter of 2010, Edison International recorded a $39 million non-cash charge to reverse previously
recognized federal tax benefits eliminated by the federal health care legislation enacted in March 2010. The health care law eliminated the federal tax deduction for retiree health care costs to the
extent those costs are eligible for federal Medicare Part D subsidies.
The decreased benefit provided by property-related and other items was primarily due to lower deductions for internally developed software in 2011 compared to
the respective periods in 2010.
The
CPUC requires flow-through ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences which reverse over time. The
accounting treatment for these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Authoritative guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires an enterprise to recognize, in its financial statements, the
best estimate of the impact of a tax position by determining if the weight of the available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, based solely on the technical merits, that the position will
be sustained upon examination. The guidance requires the disclosure of all unrecognized tax benefits, which includes both the reserves recorded for tax positions on filed tax returns and the
unrecognized portion of affirmative claims.

Edison
International's federal income tax returns and its California combined franchise tax returns are currently open for years subsequent to 2002. In addition, specific California refund claims made
by Edison International for years 1991 through 2002 are currently under review by the Franchise Tax Board. The IRS examination phase of tax years 2003 through 2006 was completed in the fourth quarter
of 2010, which included proposed adjustments for the following two items:
-
- A proposed adjustment increasing the taxable gain on the 2004 sale of EMG's international assets, which if sustained,
would result in a federal tax payment of approximately $189 million, including interest and penalties through June 30, 2011 (the IRS has asserted a 40% penalty for understatement of tax
liability related to this matter).
-
- A proposed adjustment to disallow a component of SCE's repair allowance deduction, which if sustained, would result in a
federal tax payment of approximately $91 million, including interest through June 30, 2011.
Edison
International disagrees with the proposed adjustments and filed a protest with the IRS in the first quarter of 2011.
Accrued Interest and Penalties
The total amount of accrued interest and penalties related to Edison International's income tax liabilities was $222 million and
$213 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
The
net after-tax interest and penalties recognized in income tax expense was $2 million and $5 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
2011, respectively, compared to a benefit of $101 million and $88 million for the same periods in 2010.
Note 8. Compensation and Benefit Plans
Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Pension Plans
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Edison International made contributions of $61 million and during the remainder of 2011,
expects to make $69 million of additional contributions. Annual contributions made to most of SCE's pension plans are recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are
expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the annual expense.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Third-Party Power Purchase Agreements
At June 30, 2011, additional renewable energy power purchase contracts became effective and were classified as operating leases. SCE's
additional commitments under these contracts are estimated to be: $6 million in 2011, $116 million each year in 2012 2015 and $1.9 billion for the
period remaining thereafter.
Other Commitments
Fuel Supply Contracts
At June 30, 2011, Midwest Generation and EME Homer City Generation L.P. ("Homer City") had commitments to purchase coal from
third-party suppliers at fixed prices, subject to adjustment clauses. These commitments are estimated to aggregate $634 million, summarized as follows: $277 million for the remainder of
2011, $304 million in 2012 and $53 million in 2013. In July 2011, Midwest Generation entered into additional contractual agreements for the purchase of coal. These commitments are
estimated to be $6 million for the remainder of 2011, $28 million for 2012, $145 million for 2013 and $150 million for 2014.
Turbine Commitments
At June 30, 2011, EMG had commitments to purchase wind turbines of $45 million due in 2011 and $8 million due in 2012. Based on
a June 2011 contract amendment, EMG's failure to schedule turbine delivery by September 2011 would result in a termination obligation equal to its turbine deposit, which would result in a
$29 million charge against earnings. EMG has identified a project in which to place these turbines. However, there is no assurance that development will be completed and the turbines will be
used for this project.
On
October 8, 2010, an agreement was reached to settle disputes included in the complaint filed by EMG against Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas, Inc. and Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries, Ltd. with respect to a wind turbine generator supply agreement. As a result of this agreement, EMG may elect to deploy up to 60 additional wind turbines (aggregating 144 MW) that
were part of the original contract, or may be obligated to make a payment of up to $30 million following the end of the three-year period if it has not elected to deploy the
additional turbines and if certain other criteria apply.
29
Table of Contents
Capital Expenditures
At June 30, 2011, EMG's subsidiaries had firm commitments to spend approximately $242 million during the remainder of 2011,
$205 million in 2012 and $19 million in 2013 on capital and construction expenditures. These expenditures primarily relate to the Walnut Creek project, selective non-catalytic reduction
(SNCR) equipment at the Midwest Generation plants, and the construction of wind projects. EMG intends to fund these expenditures through project level financing, U.S. Treasury grants, Midwest
Generation and EME lines of credit, if available, cash on hand and cash generated from operations.
Guarantees and Indemnities
Edison International's subsidiaries have various financial and performance guarantees and indemnity agreements which are issued in the normal course
of business. The contracts discussed below included performance guarantees.
Environmental Indemnities Related to the Midwest Generation Plants
In connection with the acquisition of the Midwest Generation plants, EME agreed to indemnify Commonwealth Edison Company ("Commonwealth Edison") with
respect to specified environmental liabilities before and after December 15, 1999, the date of sale. The indemnification obligations are reduced by any insurance proceeds and tax benefits
related to such indemnified claims and are subject to a requirement that Commonwealth Edison takes all reasonable steps to mitigate losses related to any such indemnification claim. Also, in
connection with the sale-leaseback transaction related to the Powerton and Joliet Stations in Illinois, EME agreed to indemnify the lessors for specified environmental liabilities. These
indemnities are not limited in term or amount. Due to the nature of the obligations under these indemnities, a maximum potential liability cannot be determined. Commonwealth Edison has advised EME
that Commonwealth Edison believes it is entitled to indemnification for all liabilities, costs, and expenses that it may be required to bear as a result of the litigation discussed below under
"ContingenciesMidwest Generation New Source Review and Other Litigation." Except as discussed below, EME has not recorded a liability related to these environmental
indemnities.
Midwest
Generation entered into a supplemental agreement with Commonwealth Edison and Exelon Generation Company LLC on February 20, 2003 to resolve a dispute regarding interpretation of
Midwest Generation's reimbursement obligation for asbestos claims under the environmental indemnities set forth in the Asset Sale Agreement. Under this supplemental agreement, Midwest Generation
agreed to reimburse Commonwealth Edison and Exelon Generation for 50% of specific asbestos claims pending as of February 2003 and related expenses less recovery of insurance costs, and agreed to a
sharing arrangement for liabilities and expenses associated with future asbestos-related claims as specified in the agreement. The obligations under this agreement are not subject to a maximum
liability. The supplemental agreement had an initial five-year term with an automatic renewal provision for subsequent
one-year terms (subject to the right of either party to terminate); pursuant to the automatic renewal provision, it has been extended until February 2012. There were approximately 222
cases for which Midwest Generation was potentially liable that had not been settled and dismissed at June 30, 2011. Midwest Generation had recorded a liability of $55 million at
June 30, 2011 related to this contractual indemnity.
The
amounts recorded by Midwest Generation for the asbestos-related liability are based upon a number of assumptions. Future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year, the average
cost of disposing of claims, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation in the United States, could cause the actual costs to be higher or lower than projected.
Environmental Indemnity Related to the Homer City Plant
In connection with the acquisition of the Homer City plant, Homer City agreed to indemnify the sellers with respect to specified environmental
liabilities before and after the date of sale. EME guaranteed this obligation of Homer City. Also, in connection with the sale-leaseback transaction related to the Homer City plant, Homer
City agreed to indemnify the lessors for specified environmental liabilities. Due to the nature of the obligations under these indemnity provisions, they are not subject to a maximum potential
liability and do not have expiration dates. EME has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity. For discussion of the New Source Review lawsuit filed against Homer City, see
"ContingenciesHomer City New Source Review and Other Litigation."
30
Table of Contents
Indemnities Provided under Asset Sale and Sale-Leaseback Agreements
The asset sale agreements for the sale of EME's international assets contain indemnities from EME to the purchasers, including indemnification for
taxes imposed with respect to operations of the assets prior to the sale and for pre-closing environmental liabilities. Not all indemnities under the asset sale agreements have specific
expiration dates. At June 30, 2011, EME had recorded a liability of $45 million related to these matters.
In
connection with the sale of various domestic assets, EME has from time to time provided indemnities to the purchasers for taxes imposed with respect to operations of the assets prior to the sale.
EME has also provided indemnities to purchasers for items specified in each agreement (for example, specific pre-existing litigation matters and/or environmental conditions). Not all
indemnities under the asset sale agreements have specific expiration dates. Due to the nature of these potential obligations, a maximum potential liability cannot be determined and has not been
recorded as a liability related to these indemnities.
In
connection with the sale-leaseback transactions related to the Homer City plant in Pennsylvania, the Powerton and Joliet Stations in Illinois and, previously, the Collins Station in
Illinois,
EME and several of its subsidiaries entered into tax indemnity agreements. Although the Collins Station lease terminated in April 2004, Midwest Generation's tax indemnity agreement with the former
lease equity investor is still in effect. Under these tax indemnity agreements, these entities agreed to indemnify the lessors in the sale-leaseback transactions for specified adverse tax
consequences that could result in certain situations set forth in each tax indemnity agreement, including specified defaults under the respective leases. The potential indemnity obligations under
these tax indemnity agreements could be significant. Due to the nature of these potential obligations, EME cannot determine a maximum potential liability which would be triggered by a valid claim from
the lessors. EME has not recorded a liability for these matters.
Indemnity Provided as Part of the Acquisition of Mountainview
In connection with the acquisition of the Mountainview power plant, SCE agreed to indemnify the seller with respect to specific environmental claims
related to SCE's previously owned San Bernardino Generating Station, divested by SCE in 1998 and reacquired as part of the Mountainview acquisition. SCE retained certain responsibilities with respect
to environmental claims as part of the original divestiture of the station. The aggregate liability for either party to the purchase agreement for damages and other amounts is a maximum of
$60 million. This indemnification for environmental liabilities expires on or before March 12, 2033. SCE has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.
Mountainview Filter Cake Indemnity
The Mountainview power plant utilizes water from on-site groundwater wells and City of Redlands ("City") recycled water for cooling
purposes. Unrelated to the operation of the plant, the groundwater contains perchlorate. The pumping of the water removes perchlorate from the aquifer beneath the plant and concentrates it in the
plant's wastewater treatment "filter cake." Use of this impacted groundwater for cooling purposes was mandated by Mountainview's California Energy Commission permit. SCE has indemnified the City for
cleanup or associated actions related to groundwater contaminated by perchlorate due to the disposal of filter cake at the City's solid waste landfill. The obligations under this agreement are not
limited to a specific time period or subject to a maximum liability. SCE has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.
Other Edison International Indemnities
Edison International provides other indemnifications through contracts entered into in the normal course of business. These are primarily
indemnifications against adverse litigation outcomes in connection with underwriting agreements, and indemnities for specified environmental liabilities and income taxes with respect to assets sold.
Edison International's obligations under these agreements may or may not be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances Edison International may have recourse against third parties.
Edison International has not recorded a liability related to these indemnities. The overall maximum amount of the obligations under these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated.
31
Table of Contents
Contingencies
In addition to the matters disclosed in these Notes, Edison International is involved in other legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various
courts and governmental agencies regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Edison International believes the outcome of these other proceedings will not materially affect its
results of operations or liquidity.
Midwest Generation New Source Review and Other Litigation
In August 2009, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("US EPA") and the State of Illinois filed a complaint in the Northern District of
Illinois alleging that Midwest Generation or Commonwealth Edison performed repair or replacement projects at six Illinois coal-fired electric generating stations in violation of the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration ("PSD") requirements and of the New Source Performance Standards of the Clean Air Act ("CAA"), including alleged requirements to obtain a construction permit
and to install controls sufficient to meet best available control technology ("BACT") emission rates. The US EPA also alleged that Midwest Generation and Commonwealth Edison violated certain operating
permit requirements under Title V of the CAA. Finally, the US EPA alleged violations of certain opacity and particulate matter standards at the Midwest Generation plants. In addition to seeking
penalties ranging from $25,000 to $37,500 per violation, per day, the complaint calls for an injunction ordering Midwest Generation to install controls sufficient to meet BACT emission rates at all
units subject to the complaint; to obtain new PSD or New Source Review permits for those units; to amend its applications under Title V of the CAA; to conduct audits of its operations to determine
whether any additional modifications have occurred; and to offset and mitigate the harm to public health and the environment caused by the alleged CAA violations. The remedies sought by the plaintiffs
in the lawsuit could go well beyond the requirements of the Combined Pollutant Standard ("CPS"). Several Chicago-based environmental action groups have intervened in the case.
Nine
of ten PSD claims have been dismissed, along with claims related to alleged violations of Title V of the CAA to the extent based on the dismissed PSD claims. The court has also dismissed all
claims asserted against Commonwealth Edison and EME. The court denied a motion to dismiss a claim by the Chicago-based environmental action groups for civil penalties in the remaining PSD claim, but
noted that the plaintiffs will be required to convince the court that the statute of limitations should be equitably tolled. The court did not address other counts in the complaint that allege
violations of opacity and particulate matter limitations under the Illinois State Implementation Plan and Title V of the CAA. Trial of the liability portion of the case is scheduled to commence
June 3, 2013.
In
May 2011, two complaints were filed against Midwest Generation in the Northern District of Illinois by residents living near the Crawford and Fisk facilities on behalf of themselves and all others
similarly
situated, each asserting claims of nuisance, negligence, trespass, and strict liability. The plaintiffs seek to have their suits certified as a class action and request injunctive relief, as well as
compensatory and punitive damages.
Adverse
decisions in these cases could involve penalties and remedial actions that could have a material impact on the financial condition and results of operations of Midwest Generation and EME. EME
cannot predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the impact on the Midwest Generation plants, or its and Midwest Generation's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Homer City New Source Review and Other Litigation
In January 2011, the US EPA filed a complaint in the Western District of Pennsylvania against Homer City, the sale-leaseback owner
participants of the Homer City plant, and two prior owners of the Homer City plant. The complaint alleges violations of the PSD and Title V provisions of the CAA, as a result of projects in the 1990s
performed by prior owners without PSD permits and the subsequent failure to incorporate emissions limitations that meet BACT into the station's Title V operating permit. In addition to seeking
penalties ranging from $32,500 to $37,500 per violation, per day, the complaint calls for an injunction ordering Homer City to install controls sufficient to meet BACT emission rates at all units
subject to the complaint; to obtain new PSD or New Source Review permits for those units; to amend its applications under Title V of the CAA; to conduct audits of its operations to determine whether
any additional modifications have occurred; and to offset and mitigate the harm to public health and the

environment
caused by the alleged CAA violations. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the State of New York and the State of New Jersey have intervened in the lawsuit.
Also
in January 2011, two residents filed a complaint in the Western District of Pennsylvania, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, against Homer City, the
sale-leaseback owner participants of the Homer City plant, two prior owners of the Homer City plant, EME, and Edison International, claiming that emissions from the Homer City plant had
adversely affected their health and property values. The plaintiffs seek to have their suit certified as a class action and request injunctive relief, the funding of a health assessment study and
medical monitoring, as well as compensatory and punitive damages.
In
April 2011, Homer City filed motions to dismiss both complaints. Adverse decisions in these cases could involve penalties, remedial actions and damages that could have a material impact on the
financial condition and results of operations of Homer City and EME. EME cannot predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the impact on the Homer City plant, or its and Homer City's results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
Navajo Nation Litigation
On August 1, 2011, SCE and the other defendants entered into a comprehensive settlement with the Navajo Nation of the litigation filed in June
1999 against SCE and others concerning royalty payments to the Navajo for the coal supplied to the Mohave Generating Station. As amended in April 2010, the Navajo Nation's complaint asserted claims
for, among other things, interference with fiduciary duties and contractual relations, fraudulent misrepresentations by nondisclosure, and various contract-related claims. The settlement will result
in a payment to the Navajo Nation and other related parties. As a result of the settlement, the Navajo Nation lawsuit will be dismissed. The settlement agreement reached with the Navajo Nation will
not impact SCE's results of operations.
Environmental Remediation
Edison International records its environmental remediation liabilities when site assessments and/or remedial actions are probable and a range of
reasonably likely cleanup costs can be estimated. Edison International reviews its sites and measures the liability quarterly, by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs for each identified site
using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial
condition of other potentially responsible parties. These estimates include costs for site investigations, remediation, operations and maintenance, monitoring and site closure. Unless there is a
single probable amount, Edison International records the lower end of this reasonably likely range of costs (reflected in "Other long-term liabilities") at undiscounted amounts as timing
of cash flows is uncertain.
As
of June 30, 2011, Edison International's recorded estimated minimum liability to remediate its 26 identified material sites (sites in which the upper end of the range of costs is at least
$1 million) at SCE (24 sites) and EMG (2 sites primarily related to Midwest Generation) was $60 million, of which $54 million was related to SCE, including $18 million
related to San Onofre. In addition to its identified material sites, SCE also has 33 immaterial sites for which the total minimum recorded liability was $3 million. The ultimate costs to clean
up Edison International's identified sites may vary from its recorded liability due to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, such as: the extent and nature of contamination; the
scarcity of reliable data for identified sites; the varying costs of alternative cleanup methods; developments resulting from investigatory studies; the possibility of identifying additional sites;
and the time periods over which site remediation is expected to occur. Edison International believes that, due to these uncertainties, it is reasonably possible that cleanup costs at these identified
material sites and immaterial sites could exceed its recorded liability by up to $192 million and $7 million, respectively, all of which is related to SCE. The upper limit of this range
of costs was estimated using assumptions least favorable to Edison International among a range of reasonably possible outcomes.
The
CPUC allows SCE to recover 90% of its environmental remediation costs at certain sites, representing $32 million of its recorded liability, through an incentive mechanism (SCE may request
to include additional sites). In addition, SCE expects to recover 100% of environmental remediation costs incurred at the majority of the remaining sites through customer rates, representing
$21 million of its recorded liability. SCE has recorded a regulatory asset of $53 million at June 30, 2011 for its estimated minimum environmental cleanup costs expected to be
recovered through customer rates.
33
Table of Contents
Edison
International's identified sites include several sites for which there is a lack of currently available information, including the nature and magnitude of contamination, and the extent, if any,
that Edison International may be held responsible for contributing to any costs incurred for remediating these sites. Thus, no reasonable estimate of cleanup costs can be made for these sites.
SCE
expects to clean up its identified sites over a period of up to 30 years. Remediation costs in each of the next several years are expected to range from $5 million to
$17 million. Costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, were $7 million and $3 million, respectively.
Based
upon the CPUC's regulatory treatment of environmental remediation costs incurred at SCE, Edison International believes that costs ultimately recorded will not materially affect its results of
operations, financial position or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future developments, including additional information about existing sites or the identification of new sites,
will not require material revisions to estimates.
Nuclear Insurance
Federal law limits public liability claims from a nuclear incident to the amount of available financial protection, which is currently approximately
$12.6 billion. SCE and other owners of San Onofre and Palo Verde have purchased the maximum private primary insurance available ($375 million). The balance is covered by a loss sharing
program among nuclear reactor licensees. If a nuclear incident at any licensed reactor in the United States results in claims and/or costs which exceed the primary insurance at that plant site, all
nuclear reactor licensees could be required to contribute their share of the liability in the form of a deferred premium.
Based
on its ownership interests, SCE could be required to pay a maximum of approximately $235 million per nuclear incident. However, it would have to pay no more than approximately
$35 million per incident in any one year. If the public liability limit above is insufficient, federal law contemplates that additional funds may be appropriated by Congress. This could include
an additional assessment on all licensed reactor operators as a measure for raising further federal revenue.
Property
damage insurance covers losses up to $500 million, including decontamination costs, at San Onofre and Palo Verde. Decontamination liability and property damage coverage exceeding the
primary $500 million also has been purchased in amounts greater than federal requirements. Additional insurance covers part of replacement power expenses during an accident-related nuclear unit
outage. A mutual insurance company owned by entities with nuclear facilities issues these policies. If losses at any nuclear facility covered by the arrangement were to exceed the accumulated funds
for these insurance programs, SCE could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments of up to approximately $48 million per year. Insurance premiums are charged to operating expense.
Spent Nuclear Fuel
Under federal law, the Department of Energy ("DOE") is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of
spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE did not meet its contractual obligation to begin acceptance of spent nuclear fuel by January 31, 1998. Extended delays
by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues. Currently, both San Onofre and Palo Verde have interim storage for spent nuclear fuel on
site sufficient for the current license period.
In
June 2010, the United States Court of Federal Claims issued a decision granting SCE and its co-owners damages of approximately $142 million to recover costs incurred through
December 31, 2005 for the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre. The decision has been appealed by the DOE. Additional legal action would be
necessary to recover damages incurred after that date. Any damages recovered would be returned to SCE ratepayers or used to offset past or future fuel decommissioning or storage costs for the benefit
of ratepayers.

Note 10. Regulatory and Environmental Developments
Environmental Developments
Cross-State Air Pollution Rule
On July 6, 2011, the US EPA adopted its final Cross-State Air Pollution Rule ("CSAPR") which will replace the Clean Air Interstate Rule
("CAIR") beginning on January 1, 2012. CSAPR is the final form of a previously proposed replacement for the CAIR, called the Clean Air Transport Rule that was released in 2010. CSAPR
establishes emissions reductions for annual sulfur dioxide ("SO2") emissions and annual ozone season nitrogen oxide ("NOx") emissions in two phases: a first phase effective
January 1, 2012 and, in most states subject to the program (including Illinois and Pennsylvania), a second phase effective January 1, 2014 that requires additional reductions in annual
SO2 emissions.
CSAPR,
like the CAIR, is an allowance-based regulation that provides for emissions trading. Under CSAPR, the amount of actual SO2 or NOx emissions from operations will need to
be matched by a sufficient amount of SO2 or NOx allowances that are either allocated or purchased in the open market. In connection with CSAPR, the US EPA has, for each phase,
established SO2 and NOx allowance allocations for each state and each generating unit subject to the regulation, and at the close of the annual compliance period, units must
surrender allowances for each ton of SO2 and NOx emitted or face penalties. While trading of allowances is permitted within designated groups of states, the rule provides for
enhanced penalties against a unit that surrenders allowances in excess of certain predefined limits for itself and for the state in which it is located.
The
installation of SO2 controls will require capital commitments for the Midwest Generation plants well in advance of the 2014 effective date, some of which will be expended in 2011, in
order to meet regulatory deadlines. EMG believes that Midwest Generation's current environmental remediation plan, including allocated allowances and capital expenditures, required to meet the CPS
will also comply with the requirements of CSAPR. However, the SO2 allowances allocated to Homer City in CSAPR Phase I (25,797 tons in 2012 and 2013) are significantly lower than the
amount that would be required based on Homer City's historical emissions (2010 SO2 emissions were 112,951 tons). Therefore, pending installation of additional equipment for Units 1
and 2 (Homer City's Unit 3 is equipped with a wet scrubber flue gas desulfurization system to meet environmental standards), Homer City expects that it will be required to procure additional
allowances. It is unclear at this time whether SO2 allowances in sufficient quantity and at prices that Homer City can pass through in power prices will be available in 2012 and 2013.
Also, Homer City's SO2 shortfall is expected to exceed limits on the number of allowances it will be permitted to surrender, and, therefore, may subject Homer City to penalties in certain
cases. Accordingly, Homer City is evaluating alternative options, including reduced dispatch and fuel switching, for complying with Phase I of CSAPR. Failure by Homer City to develop and
implement a Phase I compliance plan based on allowances could result in its modifying operations at one or more units or significantly curtailing power output. The cost of allowances, together
with possible operational impacts or reductions of output, which may be required to comply with Phase I of CSAPR, could have a material effect on Homer City.
Homer
City has begun work on designing SO2 and particulate emissions control equipment for Units 1 and 2. While the Phase II SO2 emission allowances under CSAPR (11,068
tons) are less than were contemplated under the proposed Clean Air Transport Rule, the additional reductions are not expected to materially change the design for the SO2 controls at Units
1 and 2. The installation of those SO2 controls will require capital commitments for the Homer City plant well in advance of the 2014 effective date, some of which will be expended in
2011, in order to meet regulatory deadlines. Given the relatively short period of time before Phase II of CSAPR takes effect in 2014, there is no assurance that Homer City will be able to
complete all the work that will be required before the deadline. Homer City is continuing to review technologies available to reduce SO2 and mercury emissions; however, it has not
determined the most effective and efficient technology to meet all requirements that may be imposed on it. Consequently, the timing, selection of technology and ultimate capital costs remain
uncertain. Based on preliminary estimates, Homer City currently believes the cost of such equipment may be between $600 million and $700 million.
Homer
City does not currently have sufficient capital and does not expect to generate sufficient capital from operations to fund such retrofits and will have to seek financing, which will be subject
to decisions by Homer City's lessors, holders of the pass-through certificates and new providers of capital funding. There is
35
Table of Contents
no
assurance that sufficient financing will be obtained or will not result in significant dilution of Homer City's interest in the Homer City plant.
Proposed Hazardous Air Pollutant Regulations
In March 2011, the US EPA issued proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, limiting emissions of hazardous air pollutants
from coal- and oil-fired electrical generating units. This regulation is expected to be finalized by November 2011. Based on its continuing review, EMG does not expect that
these standards, if adopted as proposed, would require Midwest Generation to make material changes to the approach to compliance with state and federal environmental regulations that it contemplates
for CPS compliance. EMG also does not expect that these standards, if adopted as proposed, would require Homer City to make additional capital requirements beyond those that would be required to
comply with CSAPR.
Water Quality
Once-Through
Cooling Issues
In
March 2011, the US EPA issued proposed standards under the federal Clean Water Act which would affect cooling water intake structures at generating facilities. The
standards are intended to protect aquatic organisms by reducing capture in screens attached to cooling water intake structures (impingement) and in the water volume brought into the facilities
(entrainment). The regulations are expected to be finalized by July 2012. Edison International is evaluating the proposed standards and believes, from a preliminary review, that compliance with the
proposed standards regarding impingement will be achievable for both the Midwest Generation plants and the Homer City plant without incurring material additional capital expenditures or operating
costs. The required measures to comply with the proposed standards regarding entrainment are subject to the discretion of the permitting authority, and Edison International is unable at this time to
assess potential costs of compliance, which could be significant for the Midwest Generation plants and San Onofre, but are not expected to be material for the Homer City plant, which already has
cooling towers.
In
addition to the proposed draft US EPA standards, the existing California once-through cooling policy may result in significant capital expenditures at San Onofre and may affect its
operations. If other coastal power plants in California that rely on once-through cooling are forced to shut down or limit operations, the California policy may also significantly impact
SCE's ability to procure generating capacity from those plants, which could have an adverse effect on system reliability and the cost of electricity.
Greenhouse Gas Regulation
California Air Resources Board's ("CARB") regulations implementing a California cap-and-trade program continue to be the
subject of litigation. In June 2011, the CARB announced that initial cap-and-trade program compliance for the electricity sector would be delayed until January 2013.
In
April 2011, California enacted a law requiring that California utilities to procure 33% of their electricity requirements from renewable resources, as defined in the statute. The law requires
implementation by the CPUC. The impact of the new 33% law will depend on how the CPUC implements the law, which remains uncertain.
Greenhouse Gas Litigation Developments
In June 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed public nuisance claims against five power companies, ruling that the CAA and the US EPA actions it
authorizes displace federal common law nuisance claims that might arise from the emission of greenhouse gases. The court also affirmed the Second Circuit's determination that at least some of the
plaintiffs had standing to bring the case. The court did not address whether the CAA also preempts state law claims arising from the same circumstances.
Parties
to the Kivalina case, the appeal of which was deferred before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals pending the Supreme Court's ruling described above, have requested that the appeal recommence
and have asked for permission to file additional briefs on the impact of the Supreme Court's ruling. The Kivalina case was brought by the Alaskan Native Village of Kivalina seeking damages of up to
$400 million for the
36
Table of Contents
cost
of relocating the village because the plaintiffs claim that the Arctic ice that has protected the village is melting as a result of climate change. The federal district court dismissed the case
against Edison International and the other defendants in October 2009. Due to the nature of these potential obligations, Edison International is unable to estimate the potential liability, if any.
On
May 27, 2011, private citizens filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, naming among a large number of
defendants, Edison
International and its subsidiaries, including SCE and EME. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants' activities resulted in emissions of substantial quantities of greenhouse gases that have contributed
to climate change and sea level rise, which in turn are alleged to have increased the destructive force of Hurricane Katrina. The lawsuit alleges causes of action for negligence, public and private
nuisance, and trespass, and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The claims in this lawsuit are nearly identical to a subset of the claims that were raised against many of the same
defendants in a previous lawsuit that was filed in, and dismissed by, the same federal district court where the current case has been filed.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2011 was $4 million, net of tax, of unrealized gains on commodity-based cash flow
hedges; and $13 million, net of tax, of unrealized losses related to interest rate hedges. The maximum period over which a commodity cash flow hedge is designated is May 31, 2014.
Unrealized
gains on commodity hedges consist of futures and forward electricity contracts that qualify for hedge accounting. These gains arise because current forecasts of future electricity prices in
these markets are lower than the contract prices. Approximately $8 million of unrealized gains on cash flow hedges, net of tax, are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next
12 months. Management expects that reclassification of net unrealized gains will increase energy revenues recognized at market prices. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings over
the next 12 months could vary materially from this estimated amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts
Future decommissioning costs of removal of nuclear assets are expected to be funded from independent decommissioning trusts, which currently receive
contributions of approximately $23 million per year included in SCE customer rates. Contributions to the decommissioning trusts are reviewed every three years by the CPUC. If additional funds
are needed for decommissioning, it is probable that the additional funds will be recoverable through customer rates. Funds collected, together with accumulated earnings, will be utilized solely for
decommissioning. The CPUC has set certain restrictions related to the investments of these trusts.

Trust fund earnings (based on specific identification) increase the trust fund balance and the ARO regulatory liability. Proceeds from sales of securities
(which are reinvested) were $524 million and $315 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1.1 billion and $600 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unrealized holding gains, net of losses, were $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010, respectively.

Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Management uses core
earnings by principal operating subsidiary internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (losses) by principal operating subsidiary are also used when communicating
with analysts and investors regarding our earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the Company's performance from period to period. Core earnings are a non-GAAP financial measure and
may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less income or loss from discontinued operations and income
or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as: exit activities, including lease terminations, sale of certain assets, early debt
extinguishment costs and other activities that are no longer continuing; asset impairments and certain tax, regulatory or legal settlements or proceedings.
SCE's
2011 core earnings decreased $37 million and $18 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Core earnings decreased as rate base growth was
more than offset by higher income tax expense, including a $40 million benefit in the second quarter of 2010 from a change in tax accounting for asset removal costs primarily related to SCE's
infrastructure replacement program.
EMG's
2011 core earnings increased $2 million and decreased $86 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Results for the
year-to-date were impacted by the Homer City outage, lower realized energy prices, higher plant maintenance expenses and lower trading income. In addition, unrealized gains
were $5 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to unrealized losses of $17 million in the same period last year.
44
Table of Contents
Consolidated
non-core items for Edison International included:
-
- An earnings benefit of $138 million recorded in the second quarter of 2010 resulting from acceptance by the
California Franchise Tax Board of the tax positions finalized with the IRS in 2009 as part of the Global Settlement.
-
- An after tax earnings charge of $39 million recorded in the first quarter of 2010 to reverse previously recognized
federal tax benefits eliminated by federal health care legislation enacted in 2010. The health care law eliminated the federal tax deduction for retiree health care costs to the extent those costs are
eligible for federal Medicare Part D subsidies.
Management Overview of SCE
Capital Program
During the first six months of 2011, SCE's capital investment program focused on upgrading and expanding SCE's transmission and distribution system;
replacing generation asset equipment; and installing smart meters. Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $1.6 billion during the first six months of 2011 compared to
$1.5 billion during the same period in 2010.
SCE
continues to project that 2011 capital investments will be in the range of $3.9 billion to $4.4 billion and that 2011 2014 total capital investment
spending will be in the range of $15.6 billion to $17.5 billion. Actual capital spending will be affected by regulatory approval, permitting, market and other factors as discussed
further under "SCE: Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCapital Investment Plan" in the year-ended 2010 MD&A.
In
July 2011, the FERC adopted new rules that remove incumbent public utility transmission owners' federally-based right of first refusal to construct certain new transmission facilities.
The rules
direct regional entities, such as ISOs, to create new processes that would allow other providers to develop new transmission projects. The new processes will not become effective until approved by
FERC, which is expected in late 2012. The majority of SCE's 2011 - 2014 transmission capital forecast relates to transmission projects that have been approved by the CAISO
and barring a re-evaluation under the new rules, will not be subject to the new processes. The impact of the new rules on future transmission projects will depend on the processes
ultimately implemented by regional entities.
2012 CPUC General Rate Case
As discussed in the year-ended 2010 MD&A, SCE filed its GRC application in November 2010. In July 2011, SCE submitted rebuttal testimony
in response to intervenor recommendations and updated its requested 2012 base rate revenue requirement to $6.2 billion to reflect agreement on certain issues identified in intervenor testimony.
SCE's updated request, after considering the effects of sales growth, would result in incremental customer base rate increases of $794 million, $155 million and $515 million in
2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The updated request also reflects a previously submitted base revenue requirement reduction of $38 million, $133 million and $145 million in
2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, primarily due to a reduction in rate base from inclusion of higher deferred income taxes resulting from bonus depreciation deductions under the 2010 Tax Relief Act.
The
Division of Ratepayer Advocates ("DRA") recommended that SCE's requested 2012 base rate revenue requirement be decreased by approximately $850 million, comprised of approximately
$630 million in operation and maintenance expense reductions and approximately $220 million in capital-related revenue requirement reductions. The Utility Reform Network or TURN and
other intervenors recommended an additional $610 million revenue requirement reduction, beyond the DRA adjustments, primarily capital-related in nature, as well as disallowances of recorded
capital costs for specific projects. Intervenors have also recommended changes to SCE's proposed post test year ratemaking methodology to be used for 2013 and 2014.
The
current schedule anticipates a final decision on SCE's 2012 GRC by the end of 2011. To the extent a final decision is delayed, the CPUC has authorized the establishment of a GRC memorandum
account, which will make the revenue requirement ultimately adopted by the CPUC effective as of January 1, 2012. SCE cannot predict the revenue requirement the CPUC will ultimately authorize.
45
Table of Contents
FERC Formula Rates
In August 2011, the FERC accepted SCE's request to implement a formula rate, effective January 1, 2012, to determine SCE's FERC transmission
revenue requirement, including its construction work in progress ("CWIP") incentive revenue requirement that was previously recovered through a separate mechanism, subject to refund and settlement
procedures. The FERC reduced SCE's proposed base ROE request from 11.5% to 9.93% (before adding the previously authorized 50 basis point incentive for CAISO participation and individual authorized
project incentives). SCE's request proposed the adoption of a specific formula to calculate a forecast revenue requirement that is used to establish rates and is trued-up annually to allow
SCE to recover its actual revenue requirement, including its actual cost of service, actual rate base (including the impact of bonus depreciation) and the authorized return on investment. SCE's
request also allows SCE to make single-issue rate filings requesting changes to certain elements of the formula, including the base ROE, depreciation rates and the retail rate structure. The FERC
order directs SCE to modify its 2012 forecast transmission revenue requirement of $771 million for the lower base ROE. SCE expects to file a request for rehearing of the adopted base ROE
within 30 days and cannot predict the formula rate structure or the base ROE that the FERC will ultimately authorize.
Nuclear Industry and Regulatory Response to Events in Japan
As discussed in the 2010 Form 10-K under the heading "Nuclear Power Plant Regulation," SCE is subject to the jurisdiction of the
NRC with respect to its ownership interest in San Onofre and Palo Verde. In light of the significant safety events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan resulting from the March 2011
earthquake and tsunami, the NRC has been performing and plans to continue to perform additional operational and safety reviews of nuclear facilities in the United States. The NRC also created a Task
Force to conduct a systematic review of U.S. NRC processes and regulations to determine whether additional improvements to the existing nuclear regulatory system are warranted in light of the events
in Japan. The Task Force issued its initial report in July 2011, which concluded that a sequence of events like the Fukushima accident is unlikely to occur in the U.S., and that continued operation of
U.S. reactors does not pose an imminent risk to public health and safety. The Task Force Report also included several proposed changes to regulations applicable to protection against natural
phenomena, including earthquakes and flooding, and emergency preparedness. These recommendations must undergo additional review by NRC management and the nuclear industry before any changes are
implemented; if implemented, they may impact future operations and capital requirements at United States nuclear facilities, including the operations and capital requirements of SCE's nuclear
facilities.
Management Overview of EMG
The profitability of EMG's competitive power generation operations is expected to be significantly lower in 2011 compared to 2010 as a result of
lower realized energy prices driven by the expiration of hedge contracts, higher fuel costs and outages at the Homer City plant during the first half of 2011. In addition, the profitability of EMG's
Midwest Generation plants is expected to be
adversely affected beginning in 2012 by a decline in capacity prices (projected to begin in June 2012) and higher rail transportation costs (due to the expiration at the end of 2011 of a favorable
long-term rail contract), and EMG's Homer City plant is expected to be adversely impacted by new environmental regulations discussed further below. As a result, EMG may incur net losses
during 2011 and in subsequent years unless energy and capacity prices increase or its costs decline.
At
June 30, 2011, EMG and its subsidiaries had $870 million in cash and cash equivalents and $945 million of liquidity available from credit facilities that expire in 2012. EMG's
principal subsidiary, EME, had $3.7 billion of senior notes outstanding at June 30, 2011, $500 million of which mature in 2013. EMG's business plans are focused on operating
effectively through the current commodity price cycle, environmental compliance and energy project development plans.
Cross-State Air Pollution Rule
On July 6, 2011, the US EPA adopted its final CSAPR which will replace the CAIR beginning on January 1, 2012. CSAPR is the final form
of a previously proposed replacement for the CAIR, called the Clean Air Transport Rule that was released in 2010. CSAPR establishes emissions reductions for annual SO2 emissions and annual
and ozone season NOx emissions in two phases: a first phase effective January 1,
46
Table of Contents
2012
and, in most states subject to the program (including Illinois and Pennsylvania), a second phase effective January 1, 2014 that requires additional reductions in annual SO2
emissions.
CSAPR,
like the CAIR, is an allowance-based regulation that provides for emissions trading. Under CSAPR, the amount of actual SO2 or NOx emissions from operations will need to
be matched by a sufficient amount of SO2 or NOx allowances that are either allocated or purchased in the open market. In connection with CSAPR, the US EPA has, for each phase,
established SO2 and NOx allowance allocations for each state and each generating unit subject to the regulation, and at the close of the annual compliance period, units must
surrender allowances for each ton of SO2 and NOx emitted or face penalties. While trading of allowances is permitted within designated groups of states, the rule provides for
enhanced penalties against a unit that surrenders allowances in excess of certain predefined limits for itself and for the state in which it is located.
The
installation of SO2 controls will require capital commitments for the Midwest Generation plants well in advance of the 2014 effective date, some of which will be expended in 2011, in
order to meet regulatory deadlines. EMG believes that Midwest Generation's current environmental remediation plan, including allocated allowances and capital expenditures, required to meet the CPS
will also comply with the requirements of CSAPR. However, the SO2 allowances allocated to Homer City in CSAPR Phase I (25,797 tons in 2012 and 2013) are significantly lower than the
amount that would be required based on Homer City's historical emissions (2010 SO2 emissions were 112,951 tons). Therefore, pending installation of additional equipment for Units 1
and 2 (Homer City's Unit 3 is equipped with a wet scrubber flue gas desulfurization system to meet environmental standards), Homer City expects that it will be required to procure additional
allowances. It is unclear at this time whether SO2 allowances in sufficient quantity and at prices that Homer City can pass through in power prices will be available in 2012 and 2013.
Also, Homer City's SO2 shortfall is expected to exceed limits on the number of allowances it will be permitted to surrender, and, therefore, may subject Homer City to penalties in certain
cases. Accordingly, Homer City is evaluating alternative options, including reduced dispatch and fuel switching, for complying with Phase I of
CSAPR. Failure by Homer City to develop and implement a Phase I compliance plan based on allowances could result in its modifying operations at one or more units or significantly curtailing
power output. The cost of allowances, together with possible operational impacts or reductions of output, which may be required to comply with Phase I of CSAPR, could have a material effect on
Homer City.
Homer
City has begun work on designing SO2 and particulate emissions control equipment for Units 1 and 2. While the Phase II SO2 emission allowances under CSAPR (11,068
tons) are less than were contemplated under the proposed Clean Air Transport Rule, the additional reductions are not expected to materially change the design for the SO2 controls at
Units 1 and 2. The installation of those SO2 controls will require capital commitments for the Homer City plant well in advance of the 2014 effective date, some of which will be
expended in 2011, in order to meet regulatory deadlines. Given the relatively short period of time before Phase II of CSAPR takes effect in 2014, there is no assurance that Homer City will be
able to complete all the work that will be required before the deadline. Homer City is continuing to review technologies available to reduce SO2 and mercury emissions; however, it has not
determined the most effective and efficient technology to meet all requirements that may be imposed on it. Consequently, the timing, selection of technology and ultimate capital costs remain
uncertain. Based on preliminary estimates, Homer City currently believes the cost of such equipment may be between $600 million and $700 million.
In
March 2011, the US EPA issued proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, limiting emissions of hazardous air pollutants from coal- and oil-fired
electrical generating units. This regulation is expected to be finalized by November 2011. Based on its continuing review, EME does not expect these standards, if adopted as proposed, would require
Homer City to make additional capital requirements beyond those that would be required to comply with CSAPR.
Homer City Capital Needs
Homer City does not currently have sufficient capital and does not expect to generate sufficient funds from operations to complete retrofits
effectively required by CSAPR Phase II. EME is under no legal obligation to provide funding and has chosen not to. Accordingly, Homer City will need third-party capital to undertake the
retrofits required by 2014 under CSAPR. However, restrictions under the agreements entered into as part of Homer City's 2001 sale-leaseback transaction affect, and in some cases
significantly limit or prohibit, Homer City's ability to incur indebtedness or make capital expenditures. Consequently, the installation of environmental compliance equipment will be dependent on
lessors, holders of the pass-through certificates and new providers of capital funding. Homer City has commenced discussions with
47
Table of Contents
its
lessors concerning such matters. There can be no assurance that Homer City will be able to raise the financing necessary to install the required SO2 control equipment in a timely
manner or on terms that will not result in a significant dilution of its interest in the Homer City plant.
Failure
of Homer City to install the required equipment or determine an economic manner to continue plant operations could result in a loss of its lease and a cessation of plant operations. Cessation
of plant operations or a significant reduction of the value of Homer City's interest in the plant could have a material adverse effect on future financial results, cash flow, financial flexibility and
assets of EME compared to historical levels. At June 30, 2011, the book value of EME's investment in Homer City was approximately $1.1 billion.
Midwest Generation Environmental Compliance Plans and Costs
During 2011, Midwest Generation continued its permitting and planning activities for NOx and SO2 controls to meet the
requirements of the CPS. Midwest Generation does not anticipate a material change to its current approach in order to comply with CSAPR. Based on its continuing review, EME also does not expect the US
EPA issued proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, if adopted, would require Midwest Generation to make material changes to the approach to compliance with state and federal
environmental regulations that it contemplates for CPS compliance. Midwest Generation expects to continue to develop and implement a compliance program that includes the use of activated carbon
injection, upgrades to particulate removal systems and dry sorbent injection, combined with its use of low sulfur PRB coal, to meet emissions limits for criteria pollutants, such as NOx
and SO2 as well as for HAPs, such as mercury, acid gas and non-mercury metals. Based on stack tests performed at various Midwest Generation plants, Midwest Generation believes
that currently installed activated carbon injection and particulate removal equipment is sufficient to achieve or exceed the mercury standards outlined in the US EPA's existing and proposed rules.
Midwest Generation does not anticipate a material change to its current approach in order to comply with CSAPR.
In
February 2011, the Illinois EPA issued construction permits authorizing Midwest Generation to install a dry sorbent injection system using Trona or other sodium-based sorbents at the Powerton
Station's Units 5 and 6. Midwest Generation had previously received construction permits for dry sorbent injection installation at Waukegan Station's Unit 7.
Decisions
regarding whether or not to proceed with retrofitting units to comply with CPS requirements for SO2 emissions remain subject to a number of factors, such as market conditions,
regulatory and legislative developments, and forecasted commodity prices and capital and operating costs applicable at the time decisions are required or made. Midwest Generation could also elect to
temporarily or permanently shut down units, instead of installing controls, to be in compliance with the CPS.
Therefore,
decisions about any particular combination of retrofits and shutdowns Midwest Generation may ultimately employ also remain subject to conditions applicable at the time decisions are
required or made. Final decisions on whether to install controls, to install particular kinds of controls, and to actually expend capital that is budgeted may not occur until 2012 for some of the
units and potentially later for others, subject to the requirements of the CPS and other applicable regulations.
Walnut Creek Project
In March 2008, Walnut Creek Energy, a subsidiary of EMG, was awarded a 10-year power sales agreement starting in 2013 for the output from
its planned Walnut Creek project, a 479 MW natural gas-fired peaker plant in southern California. The contract was issued by SCE, through a competitive bidding process. Construction began
on the Walnut Creek project in June 2011. The Walnut Creek project has estimated construction costs of $575 million and is expected to achieve commercial operation in 2013. In July 2011, Walnut
Creek Energy completed non-recourse financings to fund the Walnut Creek project. The Walnut Creek construction
loans, including the project level and intermediate holding company loans, have an effective interest rate of 3.11% including the impact of interest rate swaps through May 31, 2013. For more
information, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 5. Debt and Credit AgreementsProject FinancingsWalnut Creek."
Environmental Regulation Developments
For additional discussion of environmental regulation developments regarding proposed Hazardous Air Pollutant Regulations, Cross-State Air Pollution
Rule, Once-Through Cooling Issues, Greenhouse Gas Regulation and Greenhouse Gas Litigation Developments, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:
-
- Utility earning activitiesrepresenting CPUC and FERC-authorized base rates, including the
opportunity to earn the authorized return; and
-
- Utility cost-recovery activitiesrepresenting CPUC-authorized balancing accounts which
allow for recovery of costs incurred or provide for mechanisms to track and recover or refund differences in forecasted and actual amounts.
Utility
earning activities include base rates that are designed to recover forecasted operation and maintenance costs, certain capital-related carrying costs, interest, taxes and a return, including
the return on capital projects recovered through CPUC-authorized mechanisms outside the GRC process. Differences between authorized amounts and actual results impact earnings. Also,
included in utility earning activities are revenues or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances, if any.
Utility
cost-recovery activities include rates that provide for recovery (with no return), subject to review of reasonableness or compliance with upfront standards, of fuel costs,
purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs), certain operation and maintenance expenses, and depreciation
expense related to certain projects.
The
following tables summarize SCE's results of operations for the periods indicated. The presentation separately identifies utility earning activities and utility cost-recovery
activities.

Utility Earning Activities
Utility earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
-
- Higher operating revenue of $75 million primarily due to the following:
-
- $40 million increase primarily due to a 4.35% increase in 2011 authorized revenue approved in the CPUC 2009 GRC
decision.
-
- $25 million increase in FERC-related revenue primarily due to CWIP incentive revenue for the Tehachapi
transmission project.
-
- $15 million increase related to capital-related revenue requirements recovered through CPUC-authorized
mechanisms outside of the GRC process primarily related to the steam generator replacement project and the EdisonSmartConnect project.
-
- Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $17 million primarily related to increased
transmission and distribution expenditures.
-
- Higher income taxes primarily due to a change in tax method of accounting for asset removal costs. See
"Income Taxes" below for further information.
Utility Cost-Recovery Activities
Utility cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
-
- Higher purchased power expense of $37 million driven by higher average renewable energy contract prices resulting
from new contracts entered into to meet the renewable procurement standard requirements, and by increased purchases in 2011 to replace power previously delivered under CDWR contracts which have since
expired.
-
- Higher operation and maintenance expense of $79 million resulting primarily from increased energy efficiency
program costs.
-
- Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $19 million primarily related to the steam
generator replacement project and the EdisonSmartConnect project.

Utility Earning Activities
Utility earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
-
- Higher operating revenue of $173 million primarily due to the following:
-
- $80 million increase primarily due to a 4.35% increase in 2011 authorized revenue approved in the CPUC 2009 GRC
decision.
-
- $60 million increase in FERC-related revenue primarily due to CWIP incentive revenue for the Tehachapi
transmission project and the implementation of the 2010 FERC rate case effective March 1, 2010.
-
- $30 million increase related to capital-related revenue requirements recovered through CPUC-authorized
mechanisms outside of the GRC process primarily related to the steam generator replacement project and the EdisonSmartConnect project.
-
- Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $36 million primarily related to increased
transmission and distribution expenditures.
-
- Higher net interest expense and other of $14 million primarily due to higher outstanding balances on
long-term debt.
-
- Higher income taxes primarily due to a change in tax method of accounting for asset removal costs. See
"Income Taxes" below for more information.
51
Table of Contents
Utility Cost-Recovery Activities
Utility cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
-
- Lower purchased power expense of $62 million driven by reduced purchases resulting from increased utility owned
generation production in 2011, as compared to 2010, primarily due to 2010 outages at San Onofre and Four Corners. The decrease was partially offset by higher average renewable energy contract prices
resulting from new contracts entered into to meet the renewable procurement standard requirements, and by increased purchases in 2011 to replace power previously delivered under CDWR contracts which
have since expired.
-
- $16 million decrease in fuel expense primarily due to lower production at Mountainview in 2011, partially offset by
lower nuclear fuel expense in 2010 resulting from the San Onofre Unit 2 extended outage.
-
- Higher operation and maintenance expense of $142 million resulting primarily from increased energy efficiency
program costs.
-
- Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $35 million primarily related to the steam
generator replacement project and the EdisonSmartConnect project.
Supplemental Operating Revenue Information
SCE's retail billed and unbilled revenue (excluding wholesale sales and balancing account over/undercollections) was $2.4 billion and
$4.5 billion for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $2.4 billion and $4.4 billion for the respective periods in
2010. The year-to-date increase reflects a rate increase of $40 million and a sales volume increase of $60 million. The rate increase reflects higher system
average rates for 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to the implementation of rates authorized in the CPUC 2009 GRC decision and the 2010 FERC rate case. As a result of a
CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE does not bear the volumetric risk or benefit related to retail electricity sales (see "Item 1. BusinessOverview of Ratemaking
Mechanisms" in the 2010 Form 10-K).
SCE
remits to CDWR and does not recognize as revenue the amounts that SCE bills and collects from its customers for electric power purchased and sold by the CDWR to SCE's customers, CDWR
bond-related costs and a portion of direct access exit fees. The amounts collected and remitted to CDWR were $280 million and $555 million for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $286 million and $582 million for the respective periods in 2010. The CDWR-related rates in 2011
continue to reflect an approximately $585 million refund of operating reserves that CDWR can release as their contracts terminate. Total customer rates are expected to increase as CDWR
operating reserves are fully refunded. The power contracts that CDWR allocated to SCE will terminate by the end of 2011; however, the refund of operating reserves is expected to continue through 2012.
SCE's revenue and related purchased power expense is expected to increase as these CDWR contracts are replaced by power purchase agreements entered into by SCE.

- During
the second quarter of 2010, SCE recognized a $53 million earnings benefit resulting from the acceptance by the California
Franchise Tax Board of the tax positions finalized with the IRS in 2009 as part of the Global Settlement.
- 2
- During
the second quarter of 2010, the IRS approved SCE's request to change its tax accounting method for asset removal costs primarily related
to its infrastructure replacement program. As a result, SCE recognized a $40 million earnings benefit (of which $28 million relates to asset removal costs incurred prior to 2010) from
deducting asset removal costs earlier in the construction cycle. These deductions are recorded on a flow-through basis.
- 3
- During
the first quarter of 2010, SCE recorded a $39 million non-cash charge to reverse previously recognized federal tax
benefits eliminated by the federal health care legislation enacted in March 2010. The health care law eliminated the federal tax deduction for retiree health care costs to the extent those costs are
eligible for federal Medicare Part D subsidies.
The decreased benefit provided by property-related and other items was primarily due to lower deductions for internally developed software in 2011 compared to
the respective periods in 2010.
For
a discussion of the status of Edison International's income tax audits, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 7. Income Taxes."
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
SCE's ability to operate its business, complete planned capital projects, and implement its business strategy are dependent upon its cash flow and
access to the capital markets to finance its activities. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through
regulated rates, changes in commodity prices and volumes, collateral requirements, dividend payments made to Edison International, and the outcome of tax and regulatory matters.
SCE
expects to fund its continuing obligations, projected capital expenditures for 2011 and dividends to Edison International through cash and equivalents on hand, operating cash flows, tax benefits
and capital market financings of debt and preferred equity, as needed. SCE also has availability under its credit facilities if additional funding and liquidity are necessary to meet operating and
capital requirements.
Available Liquidity
As of June 30, 2011, SCE had approximately $46 million of cash and equivalents and short-term investments. SCE had two credit
facilities: a $2.4 billion five-year credit facility that matures in February
53

2013,
with four one-year options to extend by mutual consent, and a $500 million three-year credit facility that matures in March 2013.

Debt Covenant
SCE has a debt covenant in its credit facilities that limits its debt to total capitalization ratio to less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At
June 30, 2011, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.47 to 1.
Dividend Restrictions
The CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure and limits the dividends it may pay Edison International. In SCE's most recent cost of capital proceeding,
the CPUC set an authorized capital structure for SCE which included a common equity component of 48%. SCE may make distributions to Edison International as long as the common equity component of SCE's
capital structure remains at or above the 48% authorized level on a 13-month weighted average basis. At June 30, 2011, SCE's 13-month weighted-average common equity
component of total capitalization was 50.7% resulting in the capacity to pay $460 million in additional dividends.
During
the first six months of 2011, SCE made $230 million in dividend payments to its parent, Edison International. Future dividend amounts and timing of distributions are dependent upon
several factors including the actual level of capital expenditures, operating cash flows and earnings.
Margin and Collateral Deposits
Certain derivative instruments, power procurement contracts and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. The table below
provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would be required as of June 30, 2011.

- Total
posted and potential collateral requirements may increase by an additional $20 million, based on SCE's forward positions as of
June 30, 2011, due to adverse market price movements over the remaining life of the existing power procurement contracts using a 95% confidence level.
Workers Compensation Self-Insurance Fund
SCE is self-insured for workers compensation claims. SCE assesses workers compensation claims that have been asserted and those that have
been incurred but not reported to determine the probable amount of losses that should be recorded. The Department of Industrial Relations for the State of California requires companies that are
self-insured for workers compensation to post collateral (in the form of cash and/or letters of credits) based on the estimated workers' compensation liability if a company's bond rating
were to fall below "B." As of June 30, 2011, if SCE's bond rating were to fall below a "B" rating, SCE would be required to post $201 million for its workers compensation
self-insurance plan.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $290 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010. The
increase reflects higher receipts from customers due to increases in authorized revenue and lower tax payments resulting from bonus depreciation. These increases were partially offset by net cash
outflows related to regulatory balancing account activities. The operating cash flows were also impacted by the timing of cash receipts and disbursements related to working capital.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2011 was $491 million consisting of the following significant
events:
-
- Issued $500 million of 3.875% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2021. The proceeds from these bonds were
used to repay commercial paper borrowings and to fund SCE's capital program.
-
- Issued $200 million of commercial paper supported by SCE's line of credit to fund interim working capital
requirements.
-
- Issued $125 million of 6.5% Series D preference stock. The proceeds from the issuance were used for general
corporate purposes.
-
- Paid $230 million of dividends to Edison International.
-
- Purchased $56 million of its tax-exempt bonds that were subject to remarketing.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2010 was $465 million consisting of the following significant events:
-
- Reissued $144 million of tax-exempt pollution control bonds due in 2035. The proceeds from these bonds
were used to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
-
- Issued $500 million of first refunding mortgage bonds due in 2040. The bond proceeds were used to repay commercial
paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
-
- Issued $215 million of short-term debt to fund interim working capital requirements.
-
- Repaid $250 million of senior unsecured notes.
-
- Paid a $100 million dividend to Edison International.

Table of Contents
Net Cash Used by Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities are driven primarily by capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Capital expenditures
were $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily related to transmission and distribution investments. Net purchases of
nuclear decommissioning trust investments and other were $84 million and $97 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Contractual Obligations and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
For a discussion of power purchase commitments, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 9.
Commitments and ContingenciesThird-Party Power Purchase Agreements."
Contingencies
SCE has contingencies related to the Navajo Nation Litigation, nuclear insurance and spent nuclear fuel, which are discussed in "Edison International
Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 9. Commitments and Contingencies."
Environmental Remediation
As of June 30, 2011, SCE had 24 identified material sites for remediation and recorded an estimated minimum liability of $54 million.
SCE expects to recover 90% of its remediation costs
at certain sites. See "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 9. Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.
MARKET RISK EXPOSURES
SCE's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, and counterparty credit. Fluctuations in interest
rates can affect earnings and cash flows. Fluctuations in commodity prices and volumes and counterparty credit losses may temporarily affect cash flows, but are not expected to affect earnings due to
expected recovery through regulatory mechanisms. SCE uses derivative instruments, as appropriate, to manage its market risks. For a further discussion of SCE's market risk exposures, including
commodity price risk, credit risk and interest rate risk, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 6. Derivative and Hedging Activities" and
"Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and see "SCE: Market Risk ExposuresCommodity Price Risk" in the year-ended 2010 MD&A.
Commodity Price Risk
The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate SCE's exposure to commodity price risk was a net liability of
$532 million and $207 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. For further discussion of fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see
"Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 4. Fair Value Measurements."
Credit Risk
Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable
less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master
agreements which typically provide for a right of setoff. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these agreements. SCE manages the credit risk on
the portfolio for both rated and non-rated counterparties based on credit ratings using published ratings of counterparties and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial
statements, regulatory filings, and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual agreements,

including
master netting agreements. As of June 30, 2011, the amount of balance sheet exposure as described above, by the credit ratings of SCE's counterparties, was as follows:

- SCE
assigns a credit rating based on the lower of a counterparty's S&P or Moody's rating. For ease of reference, the above table uses the S&P
classifications to summarize risk, but reflects the lower of the two credit ratings.
- 2
- Exposure
excludes amounts related to contracts classified as normal purchases and sales and non-derivative contractual commitments
that are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, except for any related net accounts receivable.
- 3
- The
exposure in this category relates to two long-term power purchase agreements with special purpose entities for which the
underlying power plants have yet to be constructed. Prior to the start date of power deliveries, SCE's recourse is limited to the collateral posted for damages associated with a contract termination.
SCE's exposure is mitigated by regulatory treatment.
The credit risk exposure set forth in the table above is composed of $4 million of net accounts receivable and $176 million representing the fair
value, adjusted for counterparty credit reserves, of derivative contracts.

EMG's second quarter 2011 core earnings were higher than second quarter 2010 core earnings primarily due to the following pre-tax
items:
-
- $26 million higher income from a distribution received from the Doga project during the second quarter of 2011,
with no comparable amount in 2010.
-
- $10 million increase in energy trading revenues due to higher congestion and power trading revenues.
-
- $5 million increase in renewable energy adjusted operating income due to the increase in wind projects in operation
and higher generation from existing wind projects.
These
increases were partially offset by the following:
-
- $13 million decrease in Midwest Generation adjusted operating income due to lower average realized energy prices
and higher operating expenses due primarily to planned plant outages, partially offset by higher capacity revenues.
58
Table of Contents
-
- $10 million decrease in Homer City adjusted operating income due mostly to higher operating expenses primarily
resulting from plant outages and higher coal costs. Partially offsetting the decrease were unrealized derivative gains of $2 million in 2011 compared to losses of $12 million in 2010.
-
- $14 million increase in interest expense due to higher interest related to renewable project financings of
$8 million and lower capitalized interest of $6 million.
EMG's
core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were lower than core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to the following pre-tax
items:
-
- $45 million decrease in Midwest Generation adjusted operating income due to lower average realized energy prices,
lower generation and higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher capacity revenues.
-
- $63 million decrease in Homer City adjusted operating income due primarily to lower generation and higher operating
expenses resulting from the Unit 1 and 2 outages. Unit 1 returned to service on April 5, 2011, and Unit 2 returned to service on May 25, 2011. In addition, partially offsetting the
decrease were unrealized derivative gains of $5 million in 2011 compared to losses of $14 million in 2010.
-
- $26 million increase in interest expense due to higher interest expense related primarily to renewable energy
projects financings of $19 million and lower capitalized interest of $7 million.
-
- $22 million decrease in energy trading revenue due to lower congestion and power trading revenues.
These
decreases were partially offset by the following:
-
- $16 million increase in renewable energy adjusted operating income due to the increase in wind projects in
operation coupled with higher generation.
Non-core
item for EMG included:
-
- An earnings benefit of $58 million recorded in the second quarter of 2010 related to the acceptance by the
California Franchise Tax Board of the tax positions finalized with the Internal Revenue Service in 2009 for tax years 1986 through 2002 as part of the federal settlement of tax disputes and a revision
to the interest on federal disputed tax items. See "Income Taxes" below for more information.

is equal to operating income (loss) under GAAP, plus equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, dividend income
from projects, production tax credits, other income and expenses, and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Production tax credits are recognized as wind energy is
generated based on a per-kilowatt-hour rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes. AOI is a non-GAAP performance measure and may not be
comparable to those of other companies. Management believes that inclusion of earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, dividend income from projects, production tax credits, other income
and expenses, and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in AOI is meaningful for investors as these components are integral to the operating results of EMG.
The following table reconciles AOI to operating income as reflected on EMG's consolidated statements of operations:

in fuel costs were $0.4 million and $1 million during the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively,
and $2 million and $5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to the net cost of emission allowances. Transfers of emission
allowances between Midwest Generation and Homer City are made at fair market value. Transfers of NOx emission allowances to Midwest Generation were $0.4 million during
each of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Transfers of SO2 emission allowances from Midwest Generation were none and $5 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For more information regarding the price of emission allowances, see "EMG: Market Risk ExposuresCommodity Price
RiskEmission Allowances Price Risk."
AOI from the Midwest Generation plants decreased $13 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to the corresponding period of
2010. The second quarter decrease in AOI was attributable to lower energy revenues, higher fuel costs and higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher capacity revenues. The decline in energy
revenues was due to lower average realized energy prices, partially offset by higher generation. The increase in fuel costs was due to higher generation and higher coal costs. The
increase in operating expenses was due to higher maintenance and overhauls, including the retirement of equipment that was replaced as part of overhauls.
AOI
from the Midwest Generation plants decreased $45 million for six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the corresponding period of 2010. The 2011 decrease in AOI was attributable
to lower energy revenues and higher plant operations costs, partially offset by higher capacity revenues. The decline in energy revenues was due to lower average realized energy prices and lower
generation due to the permanent shutdown of Will County Units 1 and 2 at the end of 2010 in accordance with the CPS.
Included
in operating revenues were unrealized gains (losses) from hedge activities of $2 million and $(3) million for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2 million
and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unrealized gains (losses) in 2011 and 2010 were attributable to both economic hedge contracts that are
accounted for at fair value with offsetting changes recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and the ineffective portion of forward and futures contracts which are derivatives that
qualify as cash flow hedges. The ineffective portion of hedge contracts at the Midwest Generation plants was attributable to changes in the difference between energy prices at the Northern Illinois
Hub (the settlement point under forward contracts) and the energy prices at the Midwest Generation plants' busbars (the delivery point where power generated by the Midwest Generation plants is
delivered into the transmission system).
Included
in fuel costs were unrealized losses of $1 million and $2 million during the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2 million and $7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 and

2010,
respectively. Unrealized losses were due to oil futures contracts that were accounted for as economic hedges. These contracts were entered into in 2010 and 2009 to hedge variable fuel oil
components of rail transportation costs.

AOI from the Homer City plant decreased $10 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to the corresponding period of 2010. The
second quarter decrease in AOI was attributable to higher plant maintenance costs from outages at Units 1 and 2 and higher coal costs, partially offset by unrealized gains in 2011 compared to
unrealized losses in 2010 related to hedge contracts.
AOI
from the Homer City plant decreased $63 million for six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the corresponding period of 2010. The 2011 decrease in AOI was attributable to lower
energy revenues driven by lower generation and energy prices, and higher plant maintenance costs from outages at Units 1 and 2, partially offset by unrealized gains in 2011 compared to unrealized
losses in 2010 related to hedge contracts and lower fuel costs. The decline in fuel costs was due to lower generation, partially offset by higher coal costs.
Included
in operating revenues were unrealized gains (losses) from hedge activities of $2 million and $(12) million for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $5 million
and $(14) million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unrealized gains in 2011 were attributable to both economic hedge contracts that are accounted for at fair value
with offsetting changes recorded on the statements of operations and the ineffective portion of forward and futures contracts which are derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges. Unrealized losses
in 2010 were attributable to the ineffective portion of forward and futures contracts. The ineffective portion of hedge contracts at Homer City was attributable to changes in the difference between
energy prices at PJM West Hub (the settlement point under forward contracts) and the energy prices at the Homer City busbar (the delivery point where power generated by the Homer City plant is
delivered into the transmission system).

SeasonalityCoal Plants
Due to fluctuations in electric demand resulting from warm weather during the summer months and cold weather during the winter months, electric
revenues from the coal plants normally vary substantially on a seasonal basis. In addition, maintenance outages generally are scheduled during periods of lower projected electric demand (spring and
fall), further reducing generation and increasing major maintenance costs which are recorded as an expense when incurred. Accordingly, income from the coal plants is seasonal and has significant
variability from quarter to quarter. Seasonal fluctuations may also be affected by changes in market prices. For further discussion regarding market prices, see "EMG: Market Risk
ExposuresCommodity Price RiskEnergy Price Risk."

- AOI
is equal to operating income (loss) under GAAP plus equity in income (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates, production tax credits, other
income and expense, and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Production tax credits are recognized as wind energy is generated based upon a
per-kilowatt-hour rate prescribed in applicable federal and state statutes. Under GAAP, production tax credits generated by wind projects are recorded as a reduction in income
taxes. Accordingly, AOI represents a non-GAAP performance measure which may not be comparable to those of other companies. Management believes that inclusion of production tax credits in
AOI for wind projects is meaningful for investors as federal and state subsidies are an integral part of the economics of these projects.

renewable energy projects that are unconsolidated at EMG. Generation excluding unconsolidated projects was 1,336 GWh and 821 GWh in the
second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 2,536 GWh and 1,512 GWh in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
AOI from renewable energy projects increased $5 million and $16 million in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2010. The 2011 increases were primarily due to projects that achieved commercial operation in late 2010 and 2011 and increased generation at
other projects due to higher availability and favorable wind conditions.
Energy Trading
EMG seeks to generate profit by utilizing its subsidiary, EMMT, to engage in trading activities primarily in those markets in which it is active as a
result of its management of the merchant power plants of Midwest Generation and Homer City. EMMT trades power, fuel, coal, and transmission congestion primarily in the eastern U.S. power grid using
products available over the counter, through exchanges, and from independent system operators.
63
Table of Contents
AOI
from energy trading activities increased $10 million and decreased $22 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the corresponding periods
of 2010. The second quarter and year-to-date variances were attributable to fluctuations in revenues from congestion and power trading, compared to the same
prior-year periods.
Adjusted Operating Income from Unconsolidated Affiliates
Doga. EMG received a distribution from the Doga project in the second quarter of 2011 and in the first quarter of 2010. AOI is recognized when cash is distributed
from the project as the Doga project is accounted for on the cost method.
March Point. During the first quarter of 2010, AOI from the March Point project was $17 million due to an
equity distribution received from the project. EMG subsequently sold its ownership interest in the March Point project to its partner in February 2010.
Kern River. Kern River Cogeneration Company has entered into an extension of its power purchase agreement with Southern California Edison Company, which was set to
expire in June 2011. EMG expects that this arrangement will eventually be replaced by a new power purchase agreement, but cannot predict whether a new agreement will be reached on acceptable terms or
at all.
Seasonality. EMG's third quarter equity in income from its unconsolidated energy projects is normally higher than equity in income related to other quarters of the
year due to seasonal fluctuations and higher energy contract prices during the summer months.

EMG's interest expense increased primarily due to higher debt balances for wind project financing and lower capitalized interest. Capitalized interest for
renewable energy projects under construction was $6 million and $16 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $12 million
and $23 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

EME and Midwest Generation may seek to extend or replace credit facilities or retire them by other means. The terms and conditions of any refinancing could be
substantially different than those in the current credit facilities. Senior notes in the principal amount of $500 million, which bear interest at 7.50% per annum, are due in June 2013. EME may
also from time to time seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchange offers, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending
on prevailing market conditions, EME's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Homer City Outage
During the first half of 2011, Homer City Units 1 and 2 were off line due to a steam pipe rupture at Unit 1 and precautionary maintenance at
Unit 2. While Unit 1 returned to service on April 5, 2011 and Unit 2 on May 25, 2011, the outages and the continuation of low power prices have impacted Homer City's
liquidity. As a result, in order to have sufficient working capital available for operating expenses and to pay the equity portion of Homer City's rent payment that was due April 1, 2011 to the
owner-lessors, Homer City had to defer certain fuel deliveries, arrange for accelerated payments by EMMT for future energy deliveries under an intercompany arrangement in place between EMMT and Homer
City, and draw $12 million from the $20 million equity rent reserve established under its sale-leaseback transaction documents. Homer City must restore the equity rent
reserve account and continue to make equity rent payments in order to be entitled to make future distributions. Homer City anticipates that the equity rent reserve balance will be restored in the
future. At June 30, 2011, the equity rent reserve balance remained at the drawn balance of $8 million, but Homer City had delivered energy sufficient to eliminate the accelerated
payments by EMMT. Effective April 1, 2011, EMMT allocated to Homer City the benefit of an arrangement that allows EMMT to deliver power into the NYISO from Homer City. Accordingly, since
April 1, 2011, these revenues have been recorded as part of Homer City's revenues in lieu of their prior classification as EMMT trading revenues. EMMT realized trading revenues of
$28 million under this arrangement in 2010.
The
actions described above also resulted in Homer City being in compliance with the covenant requirements of its sale-leaseback documents relating to the payment of equity rent at
April 1, 2011. Under these documents, rent payments are comprised of two components, senior rent and
equity rent. Senior rent is used exclusively for debt service to holders of senior secured bonds issued in connection with the sale-leaseback transaction, while equity rent is paid to the
owner-lessors. In order to pay equity rent, among other requirements, Homer City is required to meet historical and projected senior rent service coverage ratios of 1.7 to 1 (subject to reduction to
1.3 to 1 under certain circumstances). Homer City is not subject to any minimum historical and projected senior rent service coverage ratios except as conditions to distributions and equity rent
payments. For additional discussion regarding Homer City's liquidity, see "Edison International Management OverviewManagement Overview of EMGCross-State Air Pollution Rule"
and "Homer City Capital Needs."

Environmental Capital Expenditures
Midwest Generation plants' environmental expenditures include $34 million for remaining expenditures in 2011 related to selective
non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) equipment and $501 million for expenditures for the remainder of 2011 to 2013 to begin to retrofit initial units using dry scrubbing with sodium-based
sorbents to comply with CPS requirements for SO2 emissions. EMG believes Midwest Generation's current environmental remediation plan, including allocated allowances and capital
expenditures, required to meet the CPS will also comply with the requirements of CSAPR and the proposed National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. Midwest Generation could elect to
shut down units instead of installing controls to be in compliance with CPS and other requirements, and, therefore, decisions about any particular combination of retrofits and shutdowns it may
ultimately employ to comply remain subject to conditions applicable at the time decisions are required or made. Accordingly, the environmental expenditures for Midwest Generation in the preceding
table represent current projects only and are subject to change based upon a number of considerations. Actual expenditures could be higher or lower. Preconstruction engineering and initial
construction work for a project may occur in 2011 in advance of a final decision to continue or complete the project. For additional discussion, see "Edison International Management
OverviewManagement Overview of EMGMidwest Generation Environmental Compliance Plans and Costs."
The
capital investment plan set forth in the previous table does not include environmental capital expenditures that Homer City will be required to undertake to meet the requirements of CSAPR. The
timing, selection of technology and ultimate capital costs remain uncertain. For a discussion of environmental regulations, see "Edison International Management OverviewManagement
Overview of EMGCross State Air Pollution Rule" and "Homer City Capital Needs" in this MD&A, and "Item 1. Environmental Regulation of Edison International and
Subsidiaries" and "Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to EMGRegulatory and Environmental Risks" in the 2010 Form 10-K.
Plant Capital Expenditures
Plant capital expenditures in the preceding table relate to non-environmental projects such as upgrades to boiler and turbine controls,
replacement of major boiler components, generator stator rewinds, and development of a coal-cleaning plant refuse site and a new ash disposal site.

Funding of Capital Expenditures
In July, EME secured $495 million in construction and term financing for the Walnut Creek project. In addition, EME used the proceeds of the
Laredo Ridge U.S. Treasury grant of $57 million received in July 2011 to repay the Laredo Ridge bridge loan. EME anticipates that the capital investment for renewable energy projects under
construction will be funded using a combination of construction and term financings, U.S. Treasury grants and cash on hand. In addition to the U.S. Treasury grant received in July, U.S. Treasury
grants of approximately $360 million are anticipated in 2011 and 2012 based on estimated eligible construction costs for renewable projects. For additional information on the Walnut Creek
project, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 5. Debt and Credit AgreementsProject FinancingsWalnut Creek."
Renewable Energy Projects
In the second quarter of 2011, EMG acquired and commenced construction on the 55 MW Pinnacle wind project. The Community Wind North wind project
achieved commercial operation on May 28, 2011, and the Taloga wind project achieved commercial operation on July 13, 2011.
The
capital investment plan set forth in the previous table does not include capital expenditures for future projects. At June 30, 2011, EMG had a development pipeline of potential wind
projects with projected installed capacity of approximately 3,900 MW. The development pipeline represents potential wind projects with respect to which EMG either owns the project rights or has
exclusive acquisition rights. The pace of additional growth in EMG's renewable program will be subject to the availability of third-party equity capital. At June 30, 2011, EMG had capitalized
costs and turbine deposits totaling $53 million related to renewable energy development efforts. To the extent that the renewable energy projects are not successful, EMG would record a charge
to write down the carrying amount of these assets.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The decrease in the first six months of 2011 as compared to the first six months of 2010 in cash used by operating activities from continuing
operations was primarily attributable to lower net income, a $253 million deposit paid by Edison Capital to the IRS in 2010 related to the Global Settlement, $92 million of U.S. Treasury
grants received in 2010, and changes in other current liabilities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
The increase in the first six months of 2011 as compared to the first six months of 2010 in cash provided by financing activities from continuing
operations was primarily attributable to additional wind project borrowings.

Table of Contents
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2011 and 2010 primarily consisted of capital expenditures. In addition, cash used in
investing activities for the first six months of 2011 included wind and gas project investments and other capital expenditures.

On June 29, 2011, Moody's lowered the credit ratings of EME to Caa1 from B3 and Midwest Generation to Ba3 from Ba2. On June 30, 2011, Fitch
lowered the credit ratings of EME to CCC from B- and Midwest Generation to BB- from BB. All the above ratings are on negative outlook. EME cannot provide assurance that its
current credit ratings or the credit ratings of its subsidiaries will remain in effect for any given period of time or that one or more of these ratings will not be lowered. EME notes that these
credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold its securities and may be revised at any time by a rating agency.
EMG
does not have any "rating triggers" contained in subsidiary financings that would result in a requirement to make equity contributions or provide additional financial support to its subsidiaries,
including EMMT. However, coal contracts at Midwest Generation include provisions that provide the right to request additional collateral to support payment obligations for delivered coal and may vary
based on Midwest Generation's credit ratings. Furthermore, EMMT also has hedge contracts that do not require margin, but contain the right of each party to request additional credit support in the
form of adequate assurance of performance in the case of an adverse development affecting the other party.
Credit Rating of EMMT
For a discussion of the effect of EMMT's credit rating on EMG's ability to sell forward the output of the Homer City plant through EMMT, refer to
"EMG: Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCredit RatingsCredit Rating of EMMT" in the year-ended 2010 MD&A.
Margin, Collateral Deposits and Other Credit Support for Energy Contracts
To reduce its exposure to market risk, EME hedges a portion of its electricity price exposure through EMMT. In connection with entering into
contracts, EMMT may be required to support its risk of nonperformance through parent guarantees, margining or other credit support. EME has entered into guarantees in support of EMMT's hedging and
trading activities; however, EME has historically also provided collateral in the form of cash and letters of credit for the benefit of counterparties related to the net of accounts payable, accounts
receivable, unrealized losses, and unrealized gains in connection with these hedging and trading activities. For further details, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial
StatementsNote 6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
Future
cash collateral requirements may be higher than the margin and collateral requirements at June 30, 2011, if wholesale energy prices change or if EMMT enters into additional transactions.
Certain EMMT hedge contracts do not require margin, but contain provisions that require EME or Midwest Generation to comply with the terms and conditions of their credit facilities. The credit
facilities contain financial covenants which are described further in "Debt Covenants and Dividend Restrictions."

To make distributions, including repayment of certain intercompany loans, Homer City must meet the senior rent service coverage ratio. In addition, Homer City
is restricted from making distributions until the Homer City equity reserve account is replenished. For additional information, see "Edison Mission GroupLiquidity and Capital
ResourcesHomer City Outage" in this MD&A.
For
a more detailed description of the covenants binding EMG's principal subsidiaries that may restrict the ability of those entities to make distributions to EMG directly or indirectly through the
other holding companies owned by EMG, refer to "EMG: Liquidity and Capital ResourcesDebt Covenants and Dividend Restrictions" in the year ended 2010 MD&A.
EME's Senior Notes and Guaranty of Powerton-Joliet Leases
EME is restricted under applicable agreements from selling or disposing of assets, which includes distributions, if the aggregate net book value of
all such sales and dispositions during the most recent 12-month period would exceed 10% of consolidated net tangible assets as defined in such agreements computed as of the end of the most
recent fiscal quarter preceding the sale or disposition in question. At June 30, 2011, the maximum permissible sale or disposition of EME assets was $888 million.
This
limitation does not apply if the proceeds are invested in assets in similar or related lines of business of EME. Furthermore, EME may sell or otherwise dispose of assets in excess of such 10%
limitation if the proceeds from such sales or dispositions, which are not reinvested as provided above, are retained as cash or cash equivalents or are used to repay debt.

Fair Value Disclosures
In determining the fair value of EMG's derivative positions, EMG uses third-party market pricing where available. For further explanation of the fair
value hierarchy and a discussion of EMG's derivative instruments, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 4. Fair Value Measurements" and
"Note 6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," respectively.
Commodity Price Risk
Energy Price Risk
Energy and capacity from the coal plants are sold under terms, including price, duration and quantity, arranged by EMMT with customers through a
combination of bilateral agreements (resulting from negotiations or from auctions), forward energy sales and spot market sales. Power is sold into PJM at spot prices based upon locational marginal
pricing. Hedging transactions related to generation are generally entered into at the Northern Illinois Hub, and to a lesser extent, the AEP/Dayton and Cinergy Hubs, all in PJM, for the Midwest
Generation plants and generally at the PJM West Hub for the Homer City plant. In addition, energy hedging transactions may be entered into using natural gas. Energy from 428 MW of merchant renewable
energy projects is sold in the energy markets, primarily at spot prices in PJM and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

Forward market prices at the Northern Illinois Hub and PJM West Hub fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including natural gas prices, transmission
congestion, changes in market rules, electricity demand (which in turn is affected by weather, economic growth, and other factors), plant outages in the region, and the amount of existing and planned
power plant capacity. The actual spot prices for electricity delivered by

Table of Contents
The RPM auction capacity prices for the delivery period of June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013 and June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014 varied
between different areas of PJM. In the western portion of PJM, affecting Midwest Generation, the prices of $16.46 per MW-day and $27.73 per MW-day were substantially lower than
other areas' capacity prices. The impact of lower capacity prices for these periods
compared to previous years will have an adverse effect on Midwest Generation's revenues unless such lower capacity prices are offset by an unavailability of competing resources and increased energy
prices.
Basis Risk
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, prices at the Homer City busbar were lower than the PJM West Hub by an average of 9% and
13%, respectively, due to transmission congestion in PJM. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, prices at the individual busbars of the Midwest Generation plants were lower than the
AEP/Dayton Hub, Cinergy Hub and Northern Illinois Hub by an average of 13%, 2% and 1%, respectively, compared to 11%, 2% and 1%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, due to
transmission congestion in PJM.
Coal and Transportation Price Risk
The Midwest Generation plants and Homer City plant purchase coal primarily from the Southern PRB of Wyoming and from mines located near the
facilities in Pennsylvania, respectively. Coal purchases are made under a variety of supply agreements. The following table summarizes the amount of coal under contract at June 30, 2011 for the
remainder of 2011 and the following two years:

- The
amount of coal under contract in equivalent tons is calculated based on contracted tons and applying an 8,800 Btu equivalent for the Midwest
Generation plants and 13,000 Btu equivalent for the Homer City plant.
- 2
- In
July 2011, Midwest Generation entered into additional contractual agreements for the purchase of coal of 0.5 million tons for the
remainder of 2011, 2.0 million tons for 2012, 9.8 million tons for 2013, and 9.8 million tons for 2014.
EMG is subject to price risk for purchases of coal that are not under contract. Prices of Northern Appalachian (NAPP) coal, which are related to the price of
coal purchased for the Homer City plant, increased during 2011 from 2010 year-end prices. The market price of NAPP coal (with 13,000 Btu per pound heat content and <3.0
pounds of SO2 per MMBtu sulfur content) increased to a price of $78.20 per ton at July 1, 2011, compared to a price of $70 per ton at December 31, 2010, as reported by the
Energy Information Administration.
Prices
of PRB coal (with 8,800 Btu per pound heat content and 0.8 pounds of SO2 per MMBtu sulfur content) purchased for the Midwest Generation plants fluctuated between $12.35 per ton and
$14.75 per ton during the first six months of 2011. The market price of PRB coal decreased to a price of $13.25 per ton at July 1, 2011, compared to a price of $13.60 per ton at
December 31, 2010, as reported by the Energy Information Administration.
EMG
has contracts for the transport of coal to its facilities. The primary contract is with Union Pacific Railroad (and various short-haul carriers), which extends through
December 31, 2011. EMG is exposed to price risk related to transportation rates after the expiration of its existing transportation contracts. Current market transportation rates for PRB coal
are materially higher than the existing rates under contract. Transportation costs are approximately half of the delivered cost of PRB coal to the Midwest Generation plants.
Emission Allowances Price Risk
The federal Acid Rain Program requires electric generating stations to hold SO2 allowances sufficient to cover their annual emissions.
Pursuant to Pennsylvania's and Illinois' implementation of the CAIR, which expires on December 31, 2011, coal plants are required to hold seasonal and annual NOx allowances.
74
Table of Contents
In
the event that actual emissions required are greater than allowances held, EMG is subject to price risk for purchases of emission allowances. The market price for emission allowances may vary
significantly. The average purchase price of SO2 allowances decreased to $7 per ton during the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $50 per ton in 2010. The average purchase price of
annual NOx allowances decreased to $244 per ton during the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $936 per ton in 2010. Based on broker's quotes and information from public sources,
the spot price for SO2 allowances and annual NOx allowances was $4 per ton and $147.50 per ton, respectively, at June 30, 2011.
Under
CSAPR, beginning January 1, 2012, the amount of SO2 that a plant emits in its operation will need to be matched by a sufficient amount of SO2 allowances designated
under this program (CSAPR SO2 allowances) that are either allocated to the plant under the CSAPR program or purchased in the open market. SO2 allowances under the federal Acid
Rain Program cannot be used to satisfy the requirements under CSAPR. EME will be impacted by market prices for additional CSAPR SO2 allowances required, but availability and market prices
are uncertain. For additional information on CSAPR, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 10. Regulatory and Environmental
DevelopmentsCross-State Air Pollution Rule."
Credit Risk
The credit risk exposure from counterparties of merchant energy hedging and trading activities is measured as the sum of net receivables (accounts
receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets. EMG's subsidiaries enter into master agreements and other arrangements in conducting such activities which
typically provide for a right of setoff in the event of bankruptcy or default by the counterparty. At June 30, 2011, the balance sheet exposure as described above, by the credit ratings of
EMG's counterparties, was as follows:

- EMG
assigns a credit rating based on the lower of a counterparty's S&P or Moody's rating. For ease of reference, the above table uses the S&P
classifications to summarize risk, but reflects the lower of the two credit ratings.
- 2
- Exposure
excludes amounts related to contracts classified as normal purchase and sales and non-derivative contractual commitments
that are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, except for any related accounts receivable.
The credit risk exposure set forth in the above table is composed of $113 million of net accounts receivable and payables and $76 million
representing the fair value of derivative contracts. The exposure is based on master netting agreements with the related counterparties. Credit ratings may not be reflective of the actual related
credit risks. In addition to the amounts set forth in the above table, EMG's subsidiaries have posted a $50 million cash margin in the aggregate with PJM, NYISO, Midwest Independent
Transmission System Operator (MISO), clearing brokers and other counterparties to support hedging and trading activities. The margin posted to support these activities also exposes EMG to credit risk
of the related entities.
The
coal plants sell electric power generally into the PJM market by participating in PJM's capacity and energy markets or transacting in capacity and energy on a bilateral basis. Sales into PJM
accounted for approximately 66% of EMG's consolidated operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011, EMG's account receivable due from PJM was
$73 million.
EMG's
wind turbine supply agreements contain significant suppliers' obligations related to the manufacturing and delivery of turbines, and payments, for delays in delivery and for failure to meet
performance obligations and warranty agreements. EMG's reliance on these contractual provisions is
75
Table of Contents
subject
to credit risks. Generally, these are unsecured obligations of the turbine manufacturer. A material adverse development with respect to EMG's turbine suppliers may have a material impact on
EMG's wind projects and development efforts.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate changes can affect earnings and the cost of capital for capital improvements or new investments in power projects. EMG mitigates the
risk of interest rate fluctuations by arranging for fixed rate financing or variable rate financing with interest rate swaps, interest rate options or other hedging mechanisms for a number of its
project financings. For details, see "Edison International Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 5. Debt and Credit Agreements," and refer to "Note 5 Debt and
Credit Agreements" in Item 8 of Edison International's 2010 Form 10-K.

California Coastal Commission Potential Environmental Proceeding
In May 2010, the California Coastal Commission issued an NOV to SCE, its contractor, and property owners ("NOV Recipients") related to
activity on a property that was used for equipment storage related to a nearby SCE electricity line undergrounding construction project. The NOV alleged that SCE, through its contractor, violated the
California Coastal Act by removing without the appropriate permits approximately one acre of vegetation from the property, which was located in a protected coastal zone within and adjacent to the City
of Newport Beach, California. In late 2010, SCE tendered an indemnification claim to its contractor for liability associated with the NOV, which the contractor accepted. In April 2011, the NOV
Recipients entered into a Consent Order with the Coastal Commission to resolve the NOV Recipients' liability to the Coastal Commission under the Coastal Act. On June 10, 2011, the NOV
Recipients entered into a Settlement Agreement to resolve any remaining claims among themselves pertaining to the NOV.

Midwest Generation New Source Review and Other Litigation
Nine of ten PSD claims have been dismissed, along with claims related to alleged violations of Title V of the CAA to the extent based on the
dismissed PSD claims. The court has also dismissed all claims asserted against Commonwealth Edison Company and EME. The court denied a motion to dismiss a claim by the Chicago-based environmental
action groups for civil penalties in the remaining PSD claim, but noted that the plaintiffs will be required to convince the court that the statute of limitations should be equitably tolled. The court
did not address other counts in the complaint that allege violations of opacity and particulate matter limitations under the Illinois State Implementation Plan and Title V of the CAA. Trial of
the liability portion of the case is scheduled to commence on June 3, 2013.
In
May 2011, two complaints were filed against Midwest Generation in the Northern District of Illinois by residents living near the Crawford and Fisk facilities on behalf of themselves and all
others similarly
situated, each asserting claims of nuisance, negligence, trespass, and strict liability. The plaintiffs seek to have their suits certified as a class action and request injunctive relief, as well as
compensatory and punitive damages.
