 review test year is based on calendar year 2024 results with certain adjustments. The base rate review includes a request for an average increase over test year adjusted annualized revenue of approximately 13%, and if approved as requested, would result in an aggregate annualized revenue increase of approximately $834 million over current adjusted rates. The base rate review also requests a revised regulatory capital structure ratio of 55% debt to 45% equity, an authorized ROE of 10.55%, and a 4.94% authorized cost of debt. Oncor’s current authorized regulatory capital structure ratio is 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity, a 9.7% authorized ROE and 4.39% authorized cost of debt.

PUCT rules permit the filing of a request for interim rates while a base rate proceeding is pending. In July 2025, Oncor filed a request for an interim revenue requirement increase of $360 million over current adjusted rates, which excludes certain requested adjustments in the pending base rate proceeding, including the requested modifications to Oncor’s regulatory capital structure, authorized return on equity, and self-insurance reserve accrual. PUCT rules provide that interim rate relief may be granted upon the agreement of all parties to the proceeding, and that absent such agreement the administrative law judge administering the proceeding may grant interim rate relief upon a showing of good cause. If they become effective, such interim rates would be subject to refund or surcharge to the extent the rates ultimately established in the base rate proceeding are different from the interim rates.

Appeal of 2023 Comprehensive Base Rate Review Order. The PUCT issued a final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate proceeding in April 2023, and rates implementing that order went into effect on May 1, 2023. In June 2023, the PUCT issued an order on rehearing in response to the motions for rehearing filed by Oncor and certain intervening parties in the proceeding. The order on rehearing made certain technical and typographical corrections to the final order but otherwise affirmed the material provisions of the final order and did not require modification of the rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023. In September 2023, Oncor filed an appeal in Travis County District Court seeking judicial review of certain rate base disallowances and related expense effects of those disallowances in the PUCT’s order on rehearing. In February 2024, the court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In March
