Item 5.  Other Events

    Industry Restructuring            

        On September 11, 1995, Southern California Edison
Company (Edison) and a coalition of independent power
producers and customers jointly announced that they had
reached a consensus in the restructuring of California's
electric utility industry.  Terms of the consensus are
contained in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) submitted to
the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as a joint
recommendation.  A copy of a press release issued by Edison on
September 11, 1995, concerning the MOU is filed herewith as
Exhibit 20.

    Proposed General Rate Case Decision

        On September 14, 1995, the administrative law judge
(ALJ) in Edison's General Rate Case (GRC) issued a proposed
decision recommending that 1995 revenues be reduced by
approximately $105 million, compared to a $67 million
reduction specified in a settlement between Edison, San Diego
Gas & Electric Company and the Division of Ratepayer Advocates
reached in November of 1994.  The ALJ also recommended that
the GRC settlement be rejected, including the portion relating
to San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3, which
was viewed as being premature in light of California's
restructuring proceeding.

        The ALJ's recommendation can be accepted, modified or
rejected by the CPUC, which will hold oral arguments on the
matter on October 18.  A final decision is on the CPUC's
November 8 agenda.

        If the CPUC adopts the ALJ's proposed decision without
modification, the impact would be to reduce 1995 earnings by
approximately $50 million or 7 cents per SCEcorp share.
