ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of
the bonds we are offering and certain other matters about us and our financial condition. The second part, the
base prospectus, provides general information about the first mortgage bonds and other securities that we may
offer from time to time, some of which may not apply to the bonds we are offering hereby. Generally, when we
refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. If the description of the bonds
varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on the
information in this prospectus supplement.
References in this prospectus to "Southern California Edison," "we," "us," and "our" mean Southern California
Edison Company, a California corporation. In this prospectus, we refer to our First and Refunding Mortgage
Bonds, Series 2005A and Series 2005B, which are offered hereby, as the "bonds." We refer to all of our
outstanding First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds as our "first mortgage bonds."

Table of Contents
Security
The bonds will be secured equally and ratably by a lien on
substantially all of our property and franchises with all other first
mortgage bonds outstanding now or in the future under our first
mortgage bond indenture. The liens will constitute first priority
liens, subject to permitted exceptions.
Ranking
The bonds will be our senior secured obligations ranking pari passu
in right of payment with all of our other senior secured
indebtedness, and prior to all other senior indebtedness to the extent
of the value of the collateral available to the holders of the bonds,
which collateral is shared by such holders on a ratable basis with
the holders of our other first mortgage bonds outstanding from time
to time. As of December 31, 2004, we had $4.37 billion of our first
mortgage bonds outstanding (including the first mortgage bonds
issued to secure a $700 million revolving credit facility).
Special Trust Fund
We are required to deposit in a special trust fund with the indenture
trustee, on each May 1 and November 1, cash equal to 1 1/2% (subject
to redetermination from time to time) of the aggregate principal
amount of first mortgage bonds then outstanding. Under the first
mortgage bond indenture, we are able to withdraw cash from the
special trust fund as long as we have sufficient additional property.
Thus, there are currently no funds on deposit in the special trust fund.
Events of Default
For a discussion of events that will permit acceleration of the
payment of the principal of and accrued interest on the bonds, see
"Description of the First Mortgage Bonds--Defaults and Other
Provisions" in the base prospectus.

The bonds are rated "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
and "A3" by Moody's Investors Service.

in any quotation system.

RISK FACTORS
Your decision whether or not to purchase any of the bonds will involve some degree of risk. You should be aware
of, and carefully consider, the following risk factors, along with all of the other information provided or referred
to in this prospectus supplement and the related base prospectus, before deciding whether or not to purchase any
of the bonds.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our financial condition, liquidity, and credit ratings were adversely affected by California's electricity crisis
and, although we have regained investment grade credit ratings, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
maintain those ratings.
In 1994, the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") and later the California Legislature initiated an
electric industry restructuring process that resulted in a multi-year freeze on the rates we could charge our
customers beginning in 1998. During 2000, unusually high wholesale prices for energy and ancillary services,
coupled with the freeze on our retail rates, resulted in substantial undercollection of our power procurement costs.
This undercollection and our near-term capital requirements materially and adversely affected our liquidity
throughout 2001. Beginning in January 2001 we suspended payments for purchased power, deferred payments on
outstanding debt, and stopped declaring or paying dividends on any of our cumulative preferred stock or common
stock. In early 2001, our senior secured credit ratings were downgraded from investment grade to CC by
Standard and Poor's Ratings Services and B3 by Moody's Investors Service.
In October 2001, we signed a settlement agreement with the CPUC allowing us to begin recovering our past
power procurement costs. In March 2002, we were able to repay all of our undisputed past-due obligations to
creditors from a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds of senior secured credit facilities and a
remarketing of pollution control bonds. Moody's and Standard & Poor's raised our senior secured credit ratings
in March 2002, to Ba2 and BB, respectively. In November and December 2003, Moody's and Standard & Poor's
raised our senior secured credit ratings to Baa2 and BBB, respectively. On August 6, 2004, Moody's raised our
senior secured debt rating to A3. Our ability to maintain our investment grade credit ratings could have a
significant impact on the value of our outstanding securities and our ability to secure additional financing on
favorable terms. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to maintain our investment grade
credit ratings.
Our recovery of energy procurement and other generation-related costs remains subject to regulatory and
market risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, and earnings.
We obtain energy, capacity, and ancillary services needed to serve our customers from our own generating
plants, contracts we enter into with energy producers and sellers, and power purchase contracts entered into by
the California Department of Water Resources ("CDWR") on behalf of our customers during the California
energy crisis. California law and CPUC decisions allow us to recover our reasonably incurred power procurement
costs in customer rates. A California statute adopted in 2002 allows us to recover reasonable procurement costs
