DALLAS, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor") today reported net income of $428 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $259 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income of $169 million was driven by overall higher revenues primarily attributable to revenues recognized in connection with the surcharge filed pursuant to our comprehensive base rate review, an increase in other regulated revenues recognized related to the Unified Tracker Mechanism ("UTM") and the System Resiliency Plan ("SRP"), higher revenues due to new base rates that went into effect on June 1, 2026, updated interim rates to reflect increases in invested capital, and customer growth. Financial and operational results are provided in Tables A, B, C, D, and E below.
"Economic growth cannot occur without responsible infrastructure investment, and nowhere is that more evident than in Texas today," said Oncor CEO Allen Nye. "State leaders have recently asked whether all stakeholders' concerns and the reliability of the grid are being properly considered during this period of unprecedented growth. We share the concerns of ensuring a well-balanced process that meets the needs of both reliability and Texas stakeholders. We look forward to building the infrastructure the state needs to benefit all Texans. Also, as ERCOT set new peak demand records this summer, I want to thank our employees and contractors for all their work in the summer heat to maintain the reliability of the grid and serve our customers."
Oncor also reported net income of $640 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $440 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income of $200 million was driven by overall higher revenues primarily attributable to an increase in other regulated revenues recognized related to the UTM and the SRP, revenues recognized in connection with the surcharge filed pursuant to our comprehensive base rate review, higher revenues due to new base rates that went into effect on June 1, 2026, updated interim rates to reflect increases in invested capital, and customer growth.
Operational Highlights
In the second quarter of 2026, Oncor built, rebuilt, or upgraded more than 900 circuit miles of transmission and distribution lines and increased its premise count by approximately 16,200, reflecting ongoing population and business growth in Texas. Active transmission point-of-interconnection ("POI") requests increased 15% year over year. As of August 1, 2026, Oncor held approximately $5.9 billion in customer collateral for active generation and Large Commercial and Industrial ("LC&I") transmission POI requests. This collateral is intended to reduce the risk of rate payers bearing costs for projects that are cancelled after Oncor has expended funds toward building the infrastructure.
As of June 30, 2026, Oncor had 552 active generation POI requests in queue, composed of approximately 46% storage, 39% solar, 8% wind, and 7% gas. In addition, Oncor's active transmission LC&I interconnection queue included 737 requests at the end of the second quarter of 2026. Those requests included approximately 282 gigawatts from data centers and over 16 gigawatts of load from various other industrial sectors, demonstrating broad-based industrial growth within Oncor's service territory.
During the second quarter of 2026, Oncor continued to execute on projects designed to meet increasing system reliability needs and sustained customer growth. Among other projects, in June, Oncor placed in service its portion of a new 165-mile double-circuit 345 kV transmission line known as the Delaware Basin Stage 2 Project, the first in a series of upgrades needed to resolve urgent electricity import constraints into far west Texas.
In June, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. ("ERCOT") endorsed several new transmission projects serving the southern Dallas--Fort Worth area and the I-35 corridor. Together with a series of other high voltage upgrades in the southern Dallas-Fort Worth area endorsed by ERCOT in April, these projects are expected to improve customer-serving capacity across Central and North Texas while providing improved reliability benefits to all customers. All together, these projects are expected to require investment of over $7 billion with expected construction windows between 2026 and 2034. Oncor has responsibility to construct the vast majority of these projects, subject to regulatory approvals where needed.
To address accelerating demand, the ERCOT board of directors and the Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUCT") approved a system-wide approach to sequence large-load interconnection requests, the first stage of which is known as the Batch Zero process. While the timeline for Batch Zero remains to be determined, approximately 44 gigawatts of large-load requests are expected to be eligible as base or studied load to be connected to Oncor's transmission system, consisting of approximately 27 gigawatts of base load and approximately 17 gigawatts of studied load. The approximately 44 gigawatts also include approximately 8 gigawatts of existing interconnected large load that is ramping up to its authorized capacity. The projects reflect significant customer commitment through financial security, site control, and other ERCOT qualification requirements, reinforcing the substantial demand for infrastructure investment across Oncor's service territory. Oncor holds approximately $2 billion of large load customer collateral related to the Batch Zero projects, which is part of the approximately $5.9 billion of customer collateral mentioned above.
Regulatory Update
On August 1, 2026, Oncor implemented a temporary surcharge in accordance with its recently completed comprehensive base rate review to recover the difference between Oncor's rates in effect from January 1, 2026 to June 1, 2026, and the new rates approved by the PUCT in the base rate review, which became effective on June 1, 2026. The surcharge reflects approximately $212 million of deferred revenues to be recovered in rates through the end of the year, $181 million of which were recognized during the second quarter of 2026 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The surcharge will result in an average monthly increase of approximately $3.63 over current rates for a residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity per month.
Liquidity Update
As of August 5, 2026, Oncor's available liquidity totaled approximately $3.6 billion, consisting of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under its credit facilities, commercial paper program, and accounts receivable facility. Oncor anticipates these resources, combined with projected cash flows from operations and future financing activities, will be sufficient to meet capital expenditures, maturities of long-term debt, and other operational needs for at least the next twelve months.
Sempra Internet Broadcast Today
Sempra $(SRE)$ will broadcast a live discussion of its earnings results over the Internet today at 12 p.m. ET, which will include discussion of second quarter 2026 results and other information relating to Oncor.

(a) SAIDI is the average number of minutes electric service is interrupted
per consumer in a twelve-month period. SAIFI is the average number of
electric service interruptions per consumer in a twelve-month period.
CAIDI is the average duration in minutes per electric service
interruption in a twelve-month period. In each case, our non-storm
reliability performance reflects electric service interruptions of one
minute or more per customer. Each of these results excludes outages
during significant storm events.
(b) Degree days are measures of how warm or cold it is throughout our service
territory. A degree day compares the average of the hourly outdoor
temperatures during each day to a 65deg Fahrenheit standard temperature.
The more extreme the outside temperature, the higher the number of degree
days. A high number of degree days generally results in higher levels of
energy use for space cooling or heating.

____________
(a) Includes unbilled revenues recognized in the second quarter of 2026 as a
result of the surcharge relating to our comprehensive base rate review.
(b) Distribution base revenues from residential customers are generally based
on actual monthly consumption (kWh). On a weather-normalized basis,
distribution base revenues from residential customers increased 35.4% in
the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2025 and increased 20.6% in the six months ended June 30,
2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
(c) Depending on size and annual load factor, distribution base revenues from
LC&I customers are generally based either on actual monthly demand
(kilowatts) or the greater of actual monthly demand (kilowatts) or 80% of
peak monthly demand during the prior 11 months.
(d) Includes distribution base revenues from small business customers whose
billing is generally based on actual monthly consumption (kWh), lighting
sites and other miscellaneous distribution base revenues.
(e) The 33.0% increase in distribution base revenues in the three months
ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025
(32.4% increase on a weather-normalized basis) was primarily due to the
distribution component of revenues recognized in connection with the
surcharge filed pursuant to our comprehensive base rate review, the
distribution component in new base rates implemented June 1, 2026,
updated interim DCRF rates implemented to reflect increases in invested
capital, customer growth, and higher consumption, primarily attributable
to warmer weather. The 16.1% increase in distribution base revenues in
the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2025 (18.7% increase on a weather-normalized basis) was
primarily due to the distribution component of revenues recognized in
connection with the surcharge filed pursuant to our comprehensive base
rate review, the distribution component in new base rates implemented
June 1, 2026, updated interim DCRF rates implemented to reflect increases
in invested capital, and customer growth, partially offset by lower
customer consumption, primarily attributable to milder weather in the
first quarter of 2026.
(f) Includes revenues recognized for recoverable costs associated with
distribution-related SRP, including operation and maintenance expense,
depreciation expense, debt carrying costs on unrecovered balances and
related taxes.
(g) Includes revenues recognized for recoverable costs associated with UTM
eligible transmission and distribution capital investments, including
depreciation expense, debt carrying costs on unrecovered balances and
related taxes.
