Bonds, Series 2008B, which are offered hereby, as the "bonds." We refer to all of our outstanding First and
Refunding Mortgage Bonds as our "first mortgage bonds."

information and audited financial statements, including the related notes, contained or incorporated by reference
in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus.

Southern California Edison Company

more than 4.6 million business and residential customers over a 50,000 square mile service area in coastal,
central, and southern California, excluding the City of Los Angeles and certain other cities. We own and operate

merchant generators, and other non-utility generators, including qualifying facilities. Our customers also receive
power purchased on their behalf through contracts signed by the California Department of Water Resources.
Based in Rosemead, California, Southern California Edison was incorporated in California in 1909, and had
assets of more than $28 billion as of June 30, 2008.

Final Prospectus Supplement
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 issued 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 June 30,
2008, we had $4.9 billion of our first mortgage bonds outstanding
(including $927 million of first mortgage bonds issued to secure
pollution control bonds).
