Item 5.  Other Events

MOHAVE GENERATING STATION ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION

On October 6, 1999, Southern California Edison, the Los Angeles Department of
Water & Power, Nevada Power, and the Salt River Project, co-owners of the Mohave
Generating Station (the "Owners"), along with three environmental groups,
announced a settlement to a federal lawsuit that the groups had filed against
the Owners in February 1998, alleging power plant violations of federal and
state air quality regulations. The settlement, which is subject to final
approval by the U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, will accelerate the planned
installation of additional air emission controls on the power plant. A copy of
the press release issued by the Owners on October 6 pertaining to the above
announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.

PAITON GENERATING STATION LITIGATION

On October 7, 1999, Indonesia's state-owned electricity company, PT Perusahaan
Listrik Negara (PLN) announced that it had filed a lawsuit in the State Court of
Central Jakarta against PT Paiton Energy Company ("PEC") seeking to annul PLN's
contract to purchase power from PEC's coal-fired 1,230 megawatt generating
station located in East Java, Indonesia. PEC is 40 percent-owned by Edison
Mission Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison International. As of October
19, 1999, PEC has not been served with PLN's complaint. According to PLN's press
releases and public statements, PLN has alleged that the contract was the result
of corruption and is one-sided and against the public interest. Pursuant to
PEC's rights under the power purchase agreement, PEC sent a notice of
arbitration to PLN under the power purchase agreement to preserve the sanctity
of the agreement and to protect the interests of its shareholders, lenders and
other credit support providers. PEC also stated its continued willingness to
negotiate with PLN and the Government of Indonesia to resolve issues relating to
the power purchase agreement. Copies of press releases issued by PEC on October
7 and 11, 1999 are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3.

On October 15, 1999, an interim arrangement was entered into among the
shareholders, sponsors and commercial lenders of PEC. The interim arrangement
provides for the waiver of certain events of default, including a principal
payment default on loans made by the commercial lenders, and for the amendment
of agreements relating to the contribution and application of equity by the
sponsors and shareholders. The interim arrangement was necessary because
conditions were not met for the United States Export-Import Bank to take out
$540 million in loans made by the commercial lenders as originally scheduled.
Discussions are ongoing with the United States Export-Import Bank to extend the
deadline for the take-out and identify appropriate conditions therefor in light
of current conditions in Indonesia.
