Oncor reported Q3 2024 net income of $324 million, down from $380 million in Q3 2023, primarily due to higher interest and depreciation expenses. However, nine-month net income increased to $800 million from $683 million year-over-year. The company filed a $2.9 billion system resiliency plan and expects significant involvement in the $13 billion Permian Basin Reliability Plan. Operationally, Oncor connected 19,000 new premises and had 884 active transmission point of interconnection requests. The company expects to announce a new five-year capital plan for 2025-2029 with a 40-50% increase over its previous $24.2 billion plan.

Oncor ha riportato un utile netto per il terzo trimestre del 2024 di 324 milioni di dollari, in calo rispetto ai 380 milioni di dollari del terzo trimestre del 2023, principalmente a causa dell'aumento delle spese per interessi e di ammortamento. Tuttavia, l'utile netto nei primi nove mesi è aumentato a 800 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 683 milioni di dollari dell'anno precedente. L'azienda ha presentato un piano di resilienza del sistema da 2,9 miliardi di dollari e prevede un coinvolgimento significativo nel piano di affidabilità del Bacino Permiano da 13 miliardi di dollari. Operativamente, Oncor ha collegato 19.000 nuove sedi e ha ricevuto 884 richieste attive di punti di interconnessione di trasmissione. L'azienda prevede di annunciare un nuovo piano di capitale quinquennale per il periodo 2025-2029 con un aumento del 40-50% rispetto al suo precedente piano da 24,2 miliardi di dollari.

Oncor reportó un ingreso neto del tercer trimestre de 2024 de 324 millones de dólares, disminuyendo desde los 380 millones de dólares en el tercer trimestre de 2023, principalmente debido al aumento de los gastos por intereses y de depreciación. Sin embargo, el ingreso neto en los primeros nueve meses aumentó a 800 millones de dólares desde los 683 millones de dólares del año anterior. La empresa presentó un plan de resiliencia del sistema de 2.9 mil millones de dólares y espera una participación significativa en el Plan de Fiabilidad de la Cuenca Permiana de 13 mil millones de dólares. En términos operativos, Oncor conectó 19,000 nuevos locales y recibió 884 solicitudes activas de puntos de interconexión de transmisión.

온코르는 2024년 3분기 순이익이 3억 2천4백만 달러로 보고했으며, 2023년 3분기 3억 8천만 달러에서 감소했습니다. 이는 주로 이자 및 감가상각 비용 증가로 인한 것입니다. 그러나 9개월 동안 순이익은 8억 달러로 증가했습니다, 이는 전년 대비 6억 8천3백만 달러에서 증가한 것입니다. 회사는 29억 달러 규모의 시스템 회복력 계획을 제출했으며, 130억 달러 규모의 퍼미안 분지 신뢰성 계획에 상당한 참여를 예상하고 있습니다. 운영적으로 온코르는 19,000개의 새로운 구역을 연결했으며, 884개의 활성 송전 접속 요청을 받았습니다. 회사는 2025-2029년을 위한 새로운 5개년 자본 계획을 발표할 예정이며, 이전의 242억 달러 계획 대비 40-50% 증가를 예상하고 있습니다.

Oncor a signalé un revenu net de 324 millions de dollars au troisième trimestre 2024, en baisse par rapport à 380 millions de dollars au troisième trimestre 2023, principalement en raison de l'augmentation des frais d'intérêts et d'amortissement. Cependant, le revenu net sur neuf mois a augmenté à 800 millions de dollars contre 683 millions de dollars l'année précédente. L'entreprise a soumis un plan de résilience du système de 2,9 milliards de dollars et s'attend à une participation significative dans le Plan de Fiabilité du Bassin Permien de 13 milliards de dollars. Sur le plan opérationnel, Oncor a raccordé 19 000 nouveaux locaux et a reçu 884 demandes actives de points de connexion de transmission. L'entreprise prévoit d'annoncer un nouveau plan d'investissement quinquennal pour 2025-2029, avec une augmentation de 40 à 50% par rapport à son précédent plan de 24,2 milliards de dollars.

Oncor meldete einen Nettoertrag von 324 Millionen Dollar im 3. Quartal 2024, rückläufig von 380 Millionen Dollar im 3. Quartal 2023, hauptsächlich aufgrund höherer Zins- und Abschreibungskosten. Allerdings stieg der Nettoertrag in den ersten neun Monaten auf 800 Millionen Dollar von 683 Millionen Dollar im Vorjahr. Das Unternehmen hat einen Resilienzplan für das System über 2,9 Milliarden Dollar eingereicht und erwartet eine bedeutende Beteiligung am 13 Milliarden Dollar umfassenden Zuverlässigkeitsplan für das Permian-Becken. Betrieblicherseits hat Oncor 19.000 neue Standorte angeschlossen und 884 aktive Anfragen zu Übertragungspunkten für die Interconnection erhalten. Das Unternehmen plant, einen neuen fünfjährigen Investitionsplan für 2025-2029 anzukündigen, mit einem 40-50% Anstieg gegenüber seinem vorherigen Plan über 24,2 Milliarden Dollar.

Insights

The Q3 2024 results reveal mixed performance for Oncor. Net income declined $56 million to $324 million year-over-year, primarily due to higher interest and depreciation expenses. However, the nine-month performance shows strong growth with net income up $117 million to $800 million.

Key growth indicators are robust: 19,000 new premises connected, 884 active transmission interconnection requests (with significant AI and data center demand) and a projected 40-50% increase in the upcoming five-year capital plan over the previous $24.2 billion plan. The $2.9 billion system resiliency plan and potential Permian Basin projects indicate substantial future growth opportunities.

Operating revenues increased to $1.66 billion in Q3, up from $1.59 billion, despite weather-related consumption decreases. The company maintains strong liquidity of $1.9 billion, supporting its aggressive growth initiatives.

The infrastructure expansion metrics are particularly impressive, with over 800 miles of distribution and transmission lines constructed or upgraded in Q3. The 38% increase in new transmission POI requests signals robust demand growth, especially from the tech sector with 82 gigawatts of potential load from AI and data centers.

The Permian Basin Reliability Plan, with its $13 billion investment scope through 2038, represents a significant long-term growth catalyst. The company's ability to execute large-scale projects while maintaining operational efficiency positions it well to capture a substantial portion of these infrastructure investments.

DALLAS, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor") today reported three months ended September 30, 2024 net income of $324 million compared to three months ended September 30, 2023 net income of $380 million. The $56 million decrease was driven by higher interest expense and depreciation expense associated with increases in invested capital and higher operation and maintenance expense, partially offset by overall higher revenues primarily attributable to updated interim rates to reflect increases in invested capital, increases in transmission billing units and customer growth, net of lower revenues due to lower customer consumption primarily attributable to milder weather when compared to the prior period and lower energy efficiency program performance bonus revenues due to the timing of Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUCT") approval of an annual energy efficiency cost recovery factor application.

"I am incredibly proud of our team's strong financial and operational performance this quarter. Our dedicated employees have continued to deliver exceptional results, executing on unprecedented growth, reflecting our commitment to investing in critical infrastructure to support Texas's growing energy needs," said Allen Nye, CEO of Oncor. "I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to our crews who spent weeks restoring service in hurricane-ravaged areas of Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. Their hard work and dedication in helping fellow Americans in need embody the very spirit and mission of our company, and our dedication to the communities we serve."

Oncor's reported net income of $800 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared favorably to net income of $683 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $117 million increase was driven by overall higher revenues primarily attributable to updated interim rates to reflect increases in invested capital, increases in transmission billing units, customer growth and the new base rates implemented in May 2023, net of lower revenues due to lower customer consumption primarily attributable to milder weather when compared to the prior period and lower energy efficiency program performance bonus revenues due to the timing of PUCT approval of an annual energy efficiency cost recovery factor application and the write-off of rate base disallowances recorded in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher interest expense and depreciation expense associated with increases in invested capital and higher operation and maintenance expense. Financial and operational results are provided in Tables A, B, C, D and E below.

Regulatory Update

In August, Oncor filed an unopposed settlement agreement for PUCT review and approval in its system resiliency plan proceeding (PUCT Docket No. 56545). The system resiliency plan outlined in the settlement agreement provides for approximately $2.9 billion in capital expenditures and $520 million in operation and maintenance expenses to enhance the resiliency of Oncor's transmission and distribution system, including measures to address extreme weather, wildfires, physical security threats and cybersecurity threats. The plan provides for the majority of the spend to occur over a three-year period, with approximately $300 million in capital expenditures and approximately $20 million in operation and maintenance expenses to be carried over into a fourth year. Oncor expects the PUCT will issue a final order in the proceeding by the end of this year, and, to the extent its system resiliency plan is approved by the PUCT, anticipates beginning to make the investments contemplated by the plan in the fourth quarter of 2024. 

In October, the PUCT issued an order approving the Permian Basin Reliability Plan proposed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. ("ERCOT") to address anticipated long-term transmission capacity needs in the Permian Basin (PUCT Docket No. 55718). The Permian Basin Reliability Plan identifies an estimated over $13 billion in capital investment transmission projects to be completed through 2038, with those projects to be assigned by the PUCT to transmission service providers in Texas. Based on its current operations in the Permian Basin region and the initial project assignment recommendations made by ERCOT (PUCT Docket No. 57152), Oncor anticipates it could receive a significant portion of the final Permian Basin Reliability Plan transmission projects.

Operational Highlights

Oncor continues to support Texas' growth with new construction, including projects designed to increase reliability for the ERCOT market. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, Oncor constructed or upgraded over 800 miles of distribution and transmission lines, all while remaining focused on safety and reliability. Oncor connected 19,000 new premises to the ERCOT grid and placed nearly $140 million of transmission projects, including eight load-serving substations, into service in the third quarter of 2024.

In the third quarter of 2024, Oncor entered 121 new transmission point of interconnection ("POI") requests into queue, a 38% increase over the same period in 2023. The majority of those new requests are from large commercial and industrial ("LC&I") customers. At September 30, 2024, Oncor had a total of 884 active generation and LC&I transmission POI requests in queue. Generation customers represented 505 of those active POI requests in queue of which 44% are solar, 44% are storage, 7% are wind, 4% are gas and 1% are other. LC&I customers represented 379 of those active POI requests, an increase of 23% over September 30, 2023, equaling 103 gigawatts of potential load. These requests arise from a diverse group of industries, including artificial intelligence and data centers, which equal approximately 82 gigawatts of the potential load. Large load customers, each seeking 100 megawatts or more of demand, represented 172 of the active POI requests at September 30, 2024.

Oncor currently expects to announce a new five-year capital expenditure plan for 2025 through 2029 in the first quarter of 2025 that projects an increase of 40-50% over its previously announced 2024 through 2028 capital plan of $24.2 billion, largely driven by forecasted growth of customer demand in ERCOT.

Liquidity

As of November 5, 2024, Oncor's available liquidity, consisting of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under its existing credit facilities, commercial paper program and accounts receivable facility ("AR Facility"), totaled $1.9 billion.

__________

(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, Oncor's 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 Oncor's service territory. A degree day compares the average of the hourly outdoor temperatures during each day to a 65° 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)

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 13.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 and increased 17.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

(b)

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 eleven months.

(c)

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.

(d)

The 1.8% increase in distribution base revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 (11.1% increase on a weather-normalized basis) primarily reflects updated interim distribution cost recovery factor rates and growth in points of delivery, partially offset by lower customer consumption primarily attributable to milder weather when compared to the prior period. The 10.6% increase in distribution base revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September, 2023 (13.4% increase on a weather-normalized basis) primarily reflects updated interim distribution cost recovery factor rates, new base rates implemented May 1, 2023 and growth in points of delivery, partially offset by lower customer consumption primarily attributable to milder weather when compared to the prior period.

Further discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from management's current projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in filings made by Oncor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, Oncor makes reference to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in its annual and quarterly reports. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as may be required by law, Oncor undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Oncor to predict all of them; nor can it assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.  As such, you should not unduly rely on such forward-looking statements.
