	The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints, Barbara

Michael A. Henry, Keith J. Larson, Darla F. Forte, Marga Rosso,
Sarah C. Perez, and Nihal P. Perera of Edison International and/or
Southern California Edison Company ("SCE"), signing singly, the
undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

	(1)	prepare, execute in the undersigned?s name and on the
undersigned?s behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the ?SEC?) a Form ID,
including amendments thereto, and any other documents
necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords
enabling the undersigned to make electronic filings with
the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or
regulation of the SEC;

	(2)	execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in any
capacity including without limitation in the undersigned?s
capacity as an officer and/or director of a company
including Edison International and/or SCE, or as a
trustee, beneficiary or settlor of a trust, Forms 3, 4 and 5,
and all amendments and/or supplements thereto, in
accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

(3)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to
complete and execute any such Forms 3, 4 and 5, and
all amendments and/or supplements thereto, and timely
file such forms with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or other
authority; and

	(4)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in
connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion of
such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best
interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it
being understood that the documents executed by such
attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to
this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-
fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

	The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact
full power and authority to do and perform any and every act and
thing whatsoever requisite, necessary or proper to be done in the
exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all
intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if
personally present, with full power of substitution, hereby ratifying
and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's
substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted.  The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
undersigned, are not assuming, nor is Edison International or SCE
assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The undersigned
agrees that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact may rely entirely on
information furnished orally or in writing by me to any of them.  The
undersigned also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Edison
International and SCE and the foregoing attorneys-in-fact against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in these respects)
that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or
omission of necessary facts in the information provided by me to any
of them for purposes of executing, acknowledging, delivering or filing
Forms 3, 4 and 5 and all amendments and/or supplements thereto,
and agrees to reimburse such companies and the attorneys-in-fact
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action.

	This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect
until the undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5
with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in
securities for which such forms are required to be filed including
those securities issued by Edison International and/or SCE, unless
earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Corporate
Secretary of Edison International or SCE.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, upon receipt by the Corporate
Secretary of Edison International or SCE, this Power of Attorney shall
supersede and replace all prior Powers of Attorney executed by me
and filed with the Edison International or SCE Corporate Secretary
appointing Edison International and/or SCE employees to file Forms
3, 4 and 5 with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; provided, however, any indemnification and reimbursement
agreement contained therein shall survive the termination of said
Powers of Attorney.

	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this
Power of Attorney to be executed as of this 6th day of April, 2008.
