The approval by the PUCT marks the final regulatory approval required to close the transaction. Completion of the deal is expected to take place by the end of the month.
InfraREIT president and CEO David Campbell said: “We appreciate the time and effort of all of the parties to the PUCT proceeding in jointly working toward the settlement that we presented to the Commission in April, and we thank the Commission for its thoughtful consideration of our transaction.”
Additionally, PUCT has allowed the asset exchange between InfraREIT’s subsidiary, Sharyland Distribution and Transmission Services, and its tenant, Sharyland Utilities, and the other related transactions. These are conditions that are to be fulfilled prior to Oncor’s acquisition of InfraREIT.
