On May 6, 2024, Oncor filed a system resiliency plan (PUCT Docket No. 56545) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (the “PUCT”) for PUCT approval pursuant to recently enacted Texas House Bill 2555 and related rules promulgated by the PUCT. The system resiliency plan requests approval of approximately $2.9 billion in capital expenditures and $520 million in operation and maintenance expenses over a three-year period to enhance the resiliency of Oncor’s transmission and distribution system. The three-year period will commence upon PUCT approval of the plan, but is anticipated to be for the years 2025 through 2027. The system resiliency plan proposes various measures to address certain resiliency events, including extreme weather, wildfires, physical security threats, and cybersecurity threats. The statute provides that the PUCT will review and approve, modify, or deny a filed plan within 180 days. Oncor cannot predict the outcome of the proceeding.
