Over the past 10 years, Texas has experienced incredible growth – welcoming new residents, families, and job creators, and celebrating new neighborhoods, businesses, schools, stadiums and more.

 

From supporting growth in the heart of north central Texas all the way to the booming western edge of the Lone Star State, Oncor is proud to help. Here’s what has changed over the past 10 years:

  • Today, Oncor delivers power to more than 10 million Texans, up from 7 million in 2010. 
  • We operate the largest distribution and transmission system in Texas with about 139,000 miles of power lines across the state, up from 117,000 miles of lines ten years ago.
  • We’ve continued to prioritize the technology that meets the needs of a changing world, growing from 660,000 advanced meters in 2010 to 3.6 million today.
  • Every year, we’re making important investments to meet the needs of our growing service territory, with $2.5 billion of investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure expected in 2020.
