Edison Will Save by Selling Winter Electricity: Southern California Edison will announce a deal to sell at least 222 megawatts of its electricity produced from Oct. 15 through Mar. 15 to PacifiCorp, a Portland, Ore.-based utility that serves portions of seven Western states. Edison expects to collect between $160 million and $250 million over the 10-year contract. The deal will save Edison $3 million to $6 million annually in electricity production costs, according to Edison Chief Executive John E. Bryson, from more efficient use of Edison plants and other power sources that now do not run at full capacity in winter.
