Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets</b>

         On December 16, 2004, Edison Mission Energy (EME), a subsidiary of Edison International, completed the
sale of the stock and related assets of MEC International B.V. (MECIBV) pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated
July 29, 2004, by and between EME and a consortium comprised of International Power plc (70%) and Mitsui &amp; Co.,
Ltd. (30%), referred to as IPM. The Purchase Agreement was entered into following a competitive bidding process.
The sale of MECIBV included the sale of EME's interests in ten electric power generating projects or companies
located in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Puerto Rico.  As discussed further below, EME's interests in the CBK,
TriEnergy and Doga projects were excluded from the sale.  Consideration from the sale of MECIBV and related
assets was $2.0 billion in cash. The cash proceeds from the sale, net of transaction costs and taxes, may be used by
EME to repay debt, to support contracting and hedges of power sales, to make capital expenditures for EME's remaining
domestic projects and for investment.  In anticipation of the sale, the remaining $200 million of the
$800 million secured loan at Mission Energy Holdings International, Inc., another subsidiary of EME, was repaid on
December 14, 2004.

         On December 16, 2004, Edison International and EME issued a press release announcing that EME had
completed the sale.  A copy of the press release has been attached as Exhibit 99.1. Such information is
incorporated herein by reference.

         EME has entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2004 (the "CBK PSA") with its partner
in the CBK project, IMPSA S.A to sell EME's interest in the CBK project to them.  EME and IMPSA executed the CBK
PSA following IMPSA's exercise of its right of first refusal under the terms of the shareholders agreement for
the CBK project.  Accordingly, the price, terms and conditions set forth in the CBK PSA are substantially the
same as those set forth in the MECIBV transaction.  EME has also entered into a separate Purchase Agreement with
IPM to sell EME's interest in the CBK project to them if the sale to IMPSA is not completed.  Further, EME has
entered into separate Purchase Agreements with IPM concerning the Tri Energy and Doga projects.  Anticipated
proceeds from these three projects will be approximately $216 million.  EME expects the sale of its interests in
the CBK, Tri Energy and Doga projects will be completed before year end or in early 2005.
