Oncor is a regulated electric distribution and transmission business that uses superior asset management skills to provide reliable electricity delivery to consumers. Oncor operates the largest distribution and transmission system in Texas, delivering power to approximately 3 million homes and businesses and operating approximately 117,000 miles of distribution and transmission lines in Texas. While Oncor is owned by a limited number of investors (including majority owner, Energy Future Holdings corp.), Oncor is managed by its Board of Directors, which is comprised of a majority of independent directors.
Reliability is a top priority for Oncor. Using cutting edge technology, Oncor is constantly working to improve reliability and improve service.
In late March 2007, Oncor became the world’s first utility to install S&C Electric Company’s new TripSaver Dropout Recloser TM, a technology designed to decrease outage times and increase overall reliability.
Oncor is installing these devices as a part of a Smart Grid initiative in which the electric grid will monitor, think, act, repair and prepare itself to respond quickly to consumer needs. The term Smart Grid refers to the deployment of a number of advanced technologies on the Oncor system with the goal of ultimately improving service to three million homes and businesses by 2010. The Smart Grid will heal itself, sense outages as they occur, monitor equipment performance, report back on needed maintenance, and more, all of which will result in an increase in reliability and service quality.
