HOMER CITY GENERATION STATION ACQUISITION

On March 18, 1999, Edison Mission Energy (EME), Edison International's
wholly-owned independent power subsidiary, completed a transaction with GPU,
Inc., New York State Electric & Gas Corporation and their respective affiliates
to acquire the 1,884 megawatt (MW) Homer City Electric Generating Station and
certain facilities and other assets associated therewith (collectively, Homer
City). Homer City is one of the largest coal-fired generating plants in the
mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Consideration for Homer City consisted
of a cash payment of approximately $1.8 billion.

Homer City is expected to continue to operate as a coal-fired generating station
with revenue primarily derived from the sale of electricity under bilateral
arrangements with domestic utilities and power marketers under short-term
contracts (two years or less) or to the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Power
Pool (PJM) or the New York Power Pool (NYPP). These pools have short-term
markets, which establish an hourly clearing price. Homer City is situated in the
PJM Control Area and is physically connected to high-voltage transmission lines
serving both the PJM and NYPP markets. Power can also be transmitted to the
Midwestern U.S. A copy of the press release issued by Edison International on
March 18 announcing the acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and
incorporated herein by reference.

Commonwealth Edison Company, having a total capacity of 9,722 megawatts, for
approximately $5 billion. On that same day, Edison International also announced

Zealand government-owned Contact Energy Ltd. A copy of the press releases issued
