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 2013B, Series 2013C and Series 2013D, which are offered hereby, collectively as the
"bonds." We refer to all of our outstanding First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds as our "first mortgage bonds."

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, include, but are not limited to:

· our ability to recover costs in a timely manner from our customers through regulated rates, including regulatory assets relating to San Onofre Nuclear

Generating Station ("San Onofre");

· decisions and other actions by the California Public Utilities Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and other regulatory authorities, and

delays in regulatory actions;

· possible customer bypass or departure due to technological advancements or cumulative rate impacts that make self-generation or use of alternative energy

sources economically viable;

· risks associated with the operation of transmission and distribution assets and nuclear and other power generating facilities, including operating risks;

nuclear fuel storage issues; public safety issues; the failure, availability, efficiency and output of equipment; the cost of repairs and retrofits of equipment;
and availability and cost of spare parts;

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

· risk that the costs incurred in connection with the steam generators at Unit 2 and/or Unit 3 at San Onofre as well as other costs incurred due to the outages

may not be recoverable from our supplier or insurance coverage;

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

support that would have been provided by San Onofre or in the event of other power plant outages and/or transmission outages or significant counterparty
defaults under power-purchase agreements;

pay amounts owed in excess of collateral provided in support of their obligations;

Table of Contents
Additional first mortgage bonds may not be issued unless net earnings for twelve months shall have
been at least two and one-half times our total annual first mortgage bond interest charge and other
conditions are met. As of June 30, 2013, we could issue approximately $17.1 billion of additional first

mortgage bonds (not taking into account the issuance of the bonds). See "Certain Terms of the Bonds--
Further Issues" below in this prospectus supplement and "Description of the First Mortgage
Bonds--Issue of Additional Bonds" in the base prospectus.

Optional Redemption
Series 2013B Bonds: We may not redeem the Series 2013B Bonds prior to their maturity.

Series 2013C Bonds and Series 2013D Bonds: At any time prior to July 1, 2023 in the case of the
Series 2013C Bonds, and April 1, 2043 in the case of the Series 2013D Bonds, we may at our option

interest thereon to but excluding the date of redemption.

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 from time to time outstanding, and prior to all other senior
indebtedness from time to time outstanding 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, 2013, we had $9.1 billion
of our first mortgage bonds outstanding (including $939 million of first mortgage bonds issued to secure
pollution control bonds and such amount includes $161 million of pollution control bonds that we
repurchased but which remain outstanding).

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. There are
currently no funds on deposit in the special trust fund.

interest on the bonds, see "Description of the First Mortgage Bonds--Defaults and Other Provisions" in

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS

Investing in the bonds involves 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, 2012. 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 bonds. 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 bonds if a trading market for the bonds does not develop.

The bonds 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
bonds on any securities exchange or for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. The liquidity of any market for the bonds will depend on the number of
holders of the bonds, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the bonds, and other factors. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the development or
liquidity of any market for the bonds. If an active trading market does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the bonds may be adversely affected. If the bonds
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.

You might not be able to fully realize the value of the liens securing the bonds.
The security for the benefit of the holders of the bonds can be released without their consent.

Any part of the property that is subject to the lien of the first mortgage bond indenture for the benefit of the bonds may be released at any time with the consent of
holders of 80% in amount of all first mortgage bonds issued and outstanding under the indenture (excluding any bonds owned or controlled by us). A class vote or
consent of the holders of the bonds would not be required.

You may have only limited ability to control remedies with respect to the collateral.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the first mortgage bond indenture, the trustees have the right to exercise remedies against the collateral securing
the bonds. The trustees shall take any action if requested to do so by the holders of a majority in interest of the first mortgage bonds then outstanding under the first
mortgage bond indenture and if indemnified to the trustees' reasonable satisfaction. Thus, you may not be able to exercise any control over the trustees' exercise of
remedies unless you can obtain the consent of holders of a majority of the total amount of first mortgage bonds outstanding.

The collateral might not be valuable enough to satisfy all the obligations secured by the collateral.

Our obligations under the bonds are secured by the pledge of substantially all of our property and franchises. This pledge is also for the benefit of the lenders
under our senior secured credit facility and all holders of other series of our first mortgage bonds. The value of the pledged assets in the event of a liquidation will
depend upon market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers, and similar factors. No independent appraisals of any of the pledged property have been
prepared by us or on our behalf in connection with this offering. Although our first mortgage bond indenture only allows us to issue first mortgage bonds with an
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding in an amount no greater than 66 2/3% of the aggregate value of our bondable assets, because no appraisals have been
performed in connection with this offering, we cannot assure you that the proceeds of any sale of the pledged assets following an acceleration of maturity of the bonds
would be sufficient to satisfy amounts due on the bonds and the other debt secured by the pledged assets.
