Oncor and Energy Future Holdings
Oncor is privately held by a limited number of investors including Energy Future Holdings Corporation. Oncor is separate from its owners and separately managed by a majority independent board of directors. While a majority owner, EFH is not involved in the management of Oncor. On March 24, 2016, the Texas Public Utility Commission (PUC) granted the request to convert Oncor into a real estate investment trust (REIT) with the reservation that the PUC would consider the treatment of potential tax savings, which could account to $250M, from the REIT structure in a separate proceeding to be held at a future date. The subsequent proceeding's focus is to determine how the potential tax savings attributable to the REIT format would be shared with utility ratepayers.
