Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 30, 2007, Edison Mission Energy (“EME”) and Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas, Inc. (“Mitsubishi”) entered into a wind turbine generator supply agreement with respect to the purchase of wind turbines and related services and warranties for an aggregate price of approximately $510 million (a portion of which is currently denominated in Japanese yen and subject to exchange rate fluctuations). EME may extend the services and warranties for additional payments. The wind turbines are to be delivered in 2008 and 2009.  EME has issued a notice to proceed with respect to turbines scheduled for 2008 delivery for approximately $250 million, but has not yet issued a notice to proceed with respect to turbines scheduled for 2009 delivery. The agreement contains delivery schedules and performance guarantees, along with provisions for liquidated damages if those guarantees are not met by Mitsubishi. EME may terminate the purchase of specified tranches of turbines for convenience; upon such termination, EME would be obligated to pay agreed cancellation fees to Mitsubishi. (1)


(1)      EME expects to request confidential treatment for a number of competitively sensitive terms of this agreement.
