Rhea-AI Summary
Oncor Electric Delivery (Sempra: SRE) reported second quarter 2026 net income of $428 million, up from $259 million a year earlier, on operating revenues of $2.06 billion versus $1.65 billion. Six‑month 2026 net income rose to $640 million from $440 million on revenues of $3.79 billion versus $3.20 billion.

As of August 5, 2026, available liquidity totaled about $3.6 billion. The company reported roughly $5.9 billion in customer collateral for active generation and large-load transmission interconnection requests and highlighted ERCOT-endorsed transmission projects requiring over $7 billion of expected investment from 2026 to 2034, most of which Oncor is responsible to construct, subject to regulatory approvals.

(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 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. |
