     On December 18, 1996, Edison Mission Energy ("Mission")
     filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     ("Commission"), pursuant to section 33 of the Public Utility
     Holding Company Act of 1935 ("Act") and Rule 57, a notice
     that Kwinana Power Partnership ("KPP") intended to become a
     foreign utility company.  This filing was made in both
     electronic and hard copy format, and Mission has been
     advised by the Commission's staff that the filing was
     effective as of December 18, 1997.  As the result of an
     error in transmission, however, only the cover page to the
     electronic filing was transmitted to the Edgar system. 
     Consequently, this Amendment No. 1 is being filed
     electronically in order to make the filing readily
     accessible to the public via the Edgar system.  This
     Amendment No.1 contains the same information as that
     provided in the December 18, 1996 filing and replaces that
     filing in its entirety.

     company                                              
          Southern California Edison Company ("Edison") is the
     only domestic public-utility company that is an associate
     company of KPP.  Edison itself has no interest in KPP. 
     Edison is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary company of

     The partners of KPP are MEC Perth B.V. (99%) and
     ME Kwinana (1%).  MEC Perth B.V. is owned by MEC
     International B.V. (MECI) (99%) and MBCI Holdings B.V. (1%),
     a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of MECI.  ME Kwinana is
     wholly-owned by Edison Mission Energy Holdings Pty Ltd.,
     which is another wholly-owned direct subsidiary of MECI.  
     MECI is wholly owned by Mission Energy Holdings
     International, which is wholly-owned by Mission.  Mission is
     wholly-owned by The Mission Group, which is wholly-owned by
     Edison International. 
     
     
     EXHIBIT A
     
     Documents incorporated by reference     
          Edison is the only associate company or affiliate of
     KPP that is subject to the regulation of its retail electric
     or gas rates by a State commission.  The California Public
     Utilities Commission ("PUC") is the sole State commission
     with jurisdiction over the retail rates of Edison.
          Section 33(a)(2) of the Act provides that an exemption
     under section 33(a)(1) shall not apply or be effective
     unless every State commission having jurisdiction over the
     retail electric or gas rates of a public utility company
     that is an associate company or an affiliate company of a
     company otherwise exempted under section 33(a)(1) "has
     certified to the Commission that it has the authority and
     resources to protect ratepayers subject to its jurisdiction
     and that it intends to exercise its authority."  However,
     this requirement is deemed satisfied if the State commission
     had, prior to the date of enactment of the Energy Policy Act
     of 1992 (October 24, 1992) "on the basis of prescribed
     conditions of general applicability, determined that
     ratepayers of a public utility company are adequately
     insulated from the effects of diversification and the
     diversification would not impair the ability of the State
     commission to regulate effectively the operations of such
     company."  As contemplated by this provision, the PUC in
     authorizing the creation of Edison International (formerly
     SCEcorp) in 1988 considered the effect of diversification on
     Edison.  The PUC imposed various conditions of general
     applicability on the operations of the holding company
     system and, based on those conditions, determined that the
     ratepayers of Edison are adequately insulated from the
     effects of diversification, and that diversification would
     not impair the PUC's ability to regulate effectively
     Edison's operations.
          In approving the formation of the Edison International
     holding company system, the PUC imposed 15 conditions of
     general applicability on Edison and the holding company. 
     Southern California Edison Company, 90 PUR4th 45 (Cal. PUC
     1988).  In formulating these conditions, the PUC
     recognized the primary importance of insulating Edison's
     ratepayers from the effect of diversification:  "The one
     thing we must make sure of is that the activities of the
     holding company and its nonutility enterprises do not
     adversely affect the ratepayers of the utility."  Id. at 63. 
     The PUC concluded that the conditions it adopted with regard
     to financial controls and reporting were "adequate to
     support our regulatory function" of so insulating Edison's
     ratepayers.  Id.  Accordingly, the PUC adopted the
     conclusion of its Division of Ratepayer Advocates that the
     general conditions imposed upon the holding company would
     "[e]nsure that Edison ratepayers are insulated from all
     effects of nonutility activities."  Id. at 69
          Additionally, the PUC found that "given the conditions
     we will require, there should be no diminution of the
     Commission's ability to regulate Edison effectively or
     Edison's ability to provide reliable utility service at
     reasonable rates."  Id. at 57.  "The proposed reorganization
     is designed to result in a corporate structure which
     enhances management's ability to take advantage of
     nonutility business opportunities should they arise while
     not diminishing the Commission's ability to effectively
     regulate utility operations."  Id. at 68.  
          Accordingly, KPP meets the criteria set forth in
     section 33(a) for qualification as a "foreign utility
     company."
          The undersigned company has duly caused this statement
     to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned officer
     thereunto duly authorized.
