ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the
notes we are offering and certain other matters about us and our financial condition. The second part, the base prospectus,
provides general information about the debt securities that we may offer from time to time, some of which may not apply to
the notes we are offering hereby. Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. If the description of the notes 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 "Edison International," "we," "us," and "our" mean Edison International on a stand-alone basis, not
consolidated with its subsidiaries.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents they incorporate by reference contain "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations
and projections about future events based on our knowledge of present facts and circumstances and assumptions about future
events and include any statement that does not directly relate to a historical or current fact. In this prospectus and elsewhere,
the words "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "projects," "intends," "plans," "probable," "may," "will,"
"could," "would," "should," and variations of such words and similar expressions, or discussions of strategy or of plans, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other important factors that
could cause results to differ, or that otherwise could impact us and our subsidiaries, include, but are not limited to:

· environmental laws and regulations, both at the state and federal levels, or changes in the application of those laws,

that could require additional expenditures or otherwise affect the cost and manner of doing business;


· the cost of capital and the ability to borrow funds and access capital markets on reasonable terms;

· the cost and availability of electricity including the ability to procure sufficient resources to meet expected customer

needs in the event of significant counterparty defaults under power-purchase agreements;


· changes in the fair value of investments and other assets;

· the ability of Southern California Edison Company (SCE) to recover costs in a timely manner from its customers

through regulated rates;

· decisions and other actions by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission and other regulatory authorities and delays in regulatory actions;

· changes in interest rates and rates of inflation, including those rates which may be adjusted by public utility

regulators;

· governmental, statutory, regulatory or administrative changes or initiatives affecting the electricity industry,

including the market structure rules applicable to each market and price mitigation strategies adopted by
Independent System Operators and Regional Transmission Organizations;

· risks associated with operating nuclear and other power generating facilities, including operating risks, nuclear fuel

storage issues, failure, availability, efficiency, output, cost of repairs and retrofits, in each case of equipment, and
availability and cost of spare parts;

· the availability and creditworthiness of counterparties and the resulting effects on liquidity in the power and fuel

markets and/or the ability of counterparties to pay amounts owed in excess of collateral provided in support of their
obligations;


· the cost and availability of labor, equipment and materials;

· the ability to obtain sufficient insurance, including insurance relating to SCE's nuclear facilities and wildfire-related

liability, and to recover the costs of such insurance;


· the ability to recover uninsured losses in connection with wildfire-related liability;

· effects of legal proceedings, changes in or interpretations of tax laws, rates or policies, and changes in accounting

standards;

Edison International;

· the cost and availability of coal, natural gas, fuel oil, and nuclear fuel, and related transportation to the extent not

recovered through regulated rate cost escalation provisions or balancing accounts;


· the cost and availability of emission credits or allowances for emission credits;


· transmission congestion in and to each market area and the resulting differences in prices between delivery points;

replacement and expansion including those related to project site identification, financing, construction, permitting,
and governmental approvals; and

Additional information about risks and uncertainties, including more detail about the factors described above, is
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-
Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed subsequent to that date. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made and we are not obligated to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements.

RISK FACTORS

Your decision whether or not to purchase any of the notes will involve some degree of risk. You should be aware of and
carefully consider the following risk factors and the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009, and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, each filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should also read and consider all of the other information provided or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the related base prospectus before deciding whether or not to
purchase any of the notes. See "Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus supplement and "Where You Can Find
More Information" in the base prospectus.

You may be unable to sell your notes if a trading market for the notes does not develop.

The notes will be new securities for which there is currently no established trading market, and none may develop. We
do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange or for quotation on any automated dealer quotation
system. The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend on the number of holders of the notes, the interest of securities
dealers in making a market in the notes, and other factors. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the development or
liquidity of any market for the notes. If an active trading market does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the notes
may be adversely affected. If the notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price depending
upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions, our performance and business
prospects, and certain other factors.

The notes are our obligations and not obligations of our subsidiaries and will be effectively subordinated to the claims
of the subsidiaries' creditors.

The notes are our obligations exclusively and not obligations of our subsidiaries. Because we are a holding company,
our obligations under the notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and preferred equity of
our subsidiaries. Therefore, our creditors, including holders of the notes, will not have a direct right to participate in the assets
of any subsidiary upon the liquidation or reorganization of the subsidiary. Instead, our creditors will participate in those
assets only to the extent that we receive a distribution from the subsidiary on account of any claim or interest that we have
against or in the subsidiary. At June 30, 2010, our subsidiaries had total consolidated liabilities of approximately $32 billion
and preferred equity outstanding with a total liquidation value of approximately $920 million.

We may be unable to meet our ongoing and future financial obligations if our subsidiaries are unable to pay dividends
to us.

Our ability to meet our financial obligations is primarily dependent on the earnings and cash flows of our subsidiaries
and their ability to pay dividends, make other distributions or repay funds owed from time to time to us. Prior to funding
Edison International, our subsidiaries have financial and regulatory obligations that must be satisfied, including, among
others, debt service and preferred stock dividends. The CPUC also regulates SCE's capital structure and limits the dividends
it may pay to us. In addition, the indenture under which the notes will be issued does not limit our ability, or the ability of our
subsidiaries, to pledge shares of stock as security for other indebtedness.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use approximately $390 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to repay short-term
borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and the remainder for corporate liquidity purposes. The current weighted
average interest rate of our short-term borrowings is 0.62%. Certain lenders under our revolving credit facility are affiliates of
certain underwriters of this offering. These lenders will receive a portion of the net proceeds we receive from the offering of
the notes based on the amount of the loans they have extended under our revolving credit facility. See "Underwriting--
Conflicts of Interest."

CERTAIN TERMS OF THE NOTES

The notes will be a series of our debt securities issued under an indenture between Edison International, as issuer, and
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

The summary of selected provisions of the notes and the indenture referred to below supplements, and to the extent
inconsistent supersedes and replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities and the
indenture contained in the accompanying base prospectus. This summary is not complete and is qualified by reference to
provisions of the notes and the indenture. Forms of the notes and the indenture have been or will be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) and you may obtain copies as described under "Where You Can Find More Information"
in the accompanying base prospectus.

Interest Rate and Maturity

The notes will bear interest at the rate of 3.75% per year computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. Interest on the notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning
on March 15, 2011, to the holders of record at the close of business on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1,
respectively.

The notes will mature on September 15, 2017. The notes are subject to earlier redemption at our option as described
under "--Optional Redemption."

If any interest payment date, redemption date or the maturity date of the notes is not a business day in any place of
payment, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next business day in that place of
payment. In that case, no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the applicable interest
payment date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be. The regular record date for all payments of interest on
the notes will be the first day of the month in which payment is to be made, whether or not such day is a business day.

We will pay interest on, principal of, and any premium on, the notes at stated maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, as
described under "--Book-Entry, Delivery and Form." The notes initially will be issued in book-entry form and represented
by global securities deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary, and registered in the
name of Cede & Co., its nominee. This means that you will not be entitled to receive a certificate for the notes that you
purchase except in limited circumstances. If any of the notes are issued in certificated form they will be issued only in fully
registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Ranking

The notes will be our unsecured senior debt obligations and will rank on a parity in right of payment with all of our
other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The notes are our obligations exclusively, and are not the obligations of
any of our subsidiaries. Because we conduct our operations primarily through our subsidiaries and substantially all of our
consolidated assets are held by our subsidiaries, the notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities
(including indebtedness) and preferred equity of our subsidiaries. At June 30, 2010, our subsidiaries had total consolidated
liabilities of approximately $32 billion, and preferred equity outstanding with a total liquidation value of approximately $920
million. See "Description of the Debt Securities--Ranking--Holding Company Structure" in the accompanying base
prospectus.

Optional Redemption

We will be entitled to redeem the notes at our option as described below. You will not be permitted to require us to
redeem or repurchase the notes at your option.

Prospectus Supplement
Page 9 of 31
Table of Contents
All or a portion of the notes may be redeemed at our option at any time or from time to time. The redemption price for
the notes to be redeemed on any redemption date will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:


· 100% of principal amount; or

· the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes being
redeemed on that redemption date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption

date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below)
plus 25 basis points, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below),

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to the redemption date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, installments of interest on notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a
redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the
relevant record date according to the notes and the indenture. The redemption price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-
day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

"Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker
as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes.

"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such redemption date or (B) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such
quotation.

"Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by us.

"Reference Treasury Dealer" means (A) each of Banc of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit
Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and RBS Securities Inc. (or their
respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of
the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a "Primary Treasury
Dealer"), we will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected
by us.

"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption
date, the average, as determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case
as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to us by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

We will provide notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to the
registered holders of the notes to be redeemed. We may make any redemption conditional upon the receipt by the paying
agent, on or prior to the date fixed for redemption, of money sufficient to pay the redemption price. If the paying agent has
not received the money by the date fixed for redemption, we will not be required to redeem the debt securities. See
"Description of the Debt Securities--Redemption" in the accompanying base prospectus.

Page 10 of 31
Table of Contents
Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on
the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

No Sinking Fund

There will be no provisions for any sinking funds for the notes.

Other

We may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the notes, increase the principal amount of
the notes under the indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any additional
notes so issued shall have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date
from which interest thereon shall begin to accrue and the first interest payment date), and shall carry the same right to receive
accrued and unpaid interest as the notes previously issued, and such additional notes shall form a single series with the notes
offered by this prospectus supplement, provided that such additional notes shall be fungible with the notes offered by this
prospectus supplement for United States federal income tax purposes.

Book-Entry, Delivery, and Form

The notes will be represented by one or more permanent global notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest
coupons. Upon issuance, the notes will be deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as
custodian for The Depository Trust Company in New York, New York (which we refer to as "DTC"), and registered in the
name of DTC or its nominee.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a global note will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC, which we
refer to as "participants," or persons who hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global
note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its
nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other
than participants).

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of any of the notes, DTC or that nominee, as the case
may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of such notes represented by the global note for all purposes under the
note indenture and the notes. No beneficial owner of an interest in a global note will be able to transfer such interest except in
accordance with DTC's applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under the note indenture.

Payments of the principal of, and interest on, a global note will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as
the registered owner thereof. None of the trustee, any paying agent, or we will have any responsibility or liability for any
aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global note or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a global note, will
credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal
amount of such global note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to
owners of beneficial interests in such global note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees
for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.
