ONCOR CREDIT RATING UPGRADED BY MOODY`S

Today, Moody`s Investors Service announced that it upgraded Oncor Electric
Delivery Company LLC`s senior secured debt ratings two notches to Baa1 from
Baa3. 

"We`re extremely pleased with Moody`s action today, as it reflects nearly two
years` worth of demonstrating Oncor`s independent governance and financial
strength," Oncor Chief Financial Officer David Davis said. "We`re excited about
this rating, as it should enhance our access to the financial markets, which
should ultimately benefit the consumers we serve."

including Oncor`s diversified service territory, sustainable credit metrics,
reasonably supportive regulatory jurisdiction, adequate sources of near-term
liquidity and strong corporate independence that resulted from the company`s
ring-fencing efforts. The company was legally ring-fenced from its primary
investor, Energy Future Holdings Corp., in October 2007 at the time of the
merger with EFH.
