PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not
contain all of the information that you should consider before participating in the exchange offers. You should carefully read the entire
prospectus, including the section entitled "Risk Factors." See the section entitled "Available Information". Unless the context otherwise
requires or as otherwise indicated, references in this prospectus to "Oncor," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Oncor Electric Delivery
Company LLC and its consolidated subsidiary. References to "EFH Corp." refer to Energy Future Holdings Corp., and/or its subsidiaries,
depending on context. For your convenience, we have also provided a Glossary, beginning on page 140, of selected terms and abbreviations.
Our Business
We are a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company that provides the essential service of delivering electricity safely,
reliably and economically to end-use consumers through our electrical systems, as well as providing transmission grid connections to
merchant generation facilities and interconnections to other transmission grids in Texas. Our transmission and distribution assets are located
principally in the north-central, eastern and western parts of Texas. This territory has an estimated population in excess of ten million, about
40 percent of the population of Texas, and comprises 91 counties and over 400 incorporated municipalities, including Dallas/Fort Worth and
surrounding suburbs, as well as Waco, Wichita Falls, Odessa, Midland, Tyler and Killeen. We are neither a seller of electricity nor a purchaser
of electricity for resale. We provide transmission services to electricity distribution companies, cooperatives, and municipalities. We provide
distribution services to retail electric providers (REPs), including subsidiaries of Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC (TCEH),
an indirect subsidiary of EFH Corp., which sell electricity to retail customers. Revenues from TCEH, represented 25% of our total operating
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 24% of our total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Revenues
from REP subsidiaries of NRG Energy, Inc., a non-affiliated entity, represented 16% of our reported total operating revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2014 and 16% of our total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015. No other customer represented
more than 10% of our reported total operating revenues.
We operate the largest transmission and distribution system in Texas, delivering electricity to more than 3.3 million homes and
businesses and operating more than 121,000 miles of transmission and distribution lines. Most of our power lines have been constructed over
lands of others pursuant to easements or along public highways, streets and rights-of-way as permitted by law. At June 30, 2015, Oncor had
approximately 3,450 full-time employees, including approximately 650 employees under collective bargaining agreements.
Our transmission and distribution rates are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), certain cities and, in certain
instances, the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and are subject to cost-of-service regulation and annual earnings
oversight.
Electricity Transmission
Our electricity transmission business is responsible for the safe and reliable operations of our transmission network and substations.
These responsibilities consist of the construction and maintenance of transmission facilities and substations and the monitoring, controlling and
dispatching of high-voltage electricity over our transmission facilities in coordination with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT),
the independent system operator and the regional coordinator of the various electricity systems within Texas.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1193311/000119312515326475/d55228d424b3.htm[9/23/2015 5:24:48 PM]


424B3
We are a member of ERCOT, and our transmission business actively assists the operations of ERCOT and market participants. Through
our transmission business, we participate with ERCOT and other member utilities to plan, design, construct, upgrade and operate transmission
lines, with regulatory approval, necessary to maintain reliability, interconnect to merchant generation facilities, increase bulk power transfer
capability and minimize limitations and constraints on the ERCOT transmission grid.
Transmission revenues are provided under tariffs approved by either the PUCT or, to a small degree related to an interconnection to
other markets, the FERC. Network transmission revenues compensate us for delivery of electricity over transmission facilities operating at 60
kilovolts (kV) and above. Other services we offer through our transmission business include system impact studies, facilities studies,
transformation service and maintenance of transformer equipment, substations and transmission lines owned by other parties. The Texas Public
Utility Regulatory Act (PURA) allows us to update our transmission rates periodically to reflect changes in invested capital. This "capital
tracker" provision encourages investment in the transmission system to help ensure reliability and efficiency by allowing for timely recovery
of and return on new transmission investments.

Table of Contents
Electricity Distribution
Our electricity distribution business is responsible for the overall safe and efficient operation of distribution facilities, including
electricity delivery, power quality and system reliability. These responsibilities consist of the ownership, management, construction,
maintenance and operation of the distribution system within our certificated service area. Our distribution system receives electricity from the
transmission system through substations and distributes electricity to end-users and wholesale customers through approximately 3,207
distribution feeders.
Our distribution system included over 3.3 million points of delivery at December 31, 2014. Over the past five years, the number of
distribution system points of delivery we serve, excluding lighting sites, grew an average of 1.28% per year, adding approximately 49,100
points of delivery in 2014.
We provide distribution services to approximately 80 REPs (including TXU Energy Retail Company LLC, a subsidiary of TCEH) and
certain electric cooperatives in our certificated service area. The consumers of the electricity we deliver are free to choose their electricity
supplier from REPs who compete for their business.
Requests to recover distribution-related investments are generally included in our rate reviews. However, provisions in existing
legislation also allow us to file, under certain circumstances, up to four rate adjustments between rate reviews in order to recover distribution-
related investments on an interim basis.
Ownership Structure and Ring-Fencing
We are a direct, majority-owned subsidiary of Oncor Electric Delivery Holdings Company LLC (Oncor Holdings), which is a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Electric Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (EFIH), a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of EFH Corp.
EFH Corp. is a subsidiary of Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership (Texas Holdings), which is controlled by Kohlberg Kravis
Roberts & Co. L.P. (KKR), TPG Global, LLC (TPG) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (Goldman, Sachs & Co. and, together with KKR and TPG,
the Sponsor Group). Oncor Holdings owns 80.03% of our membership interests, Texas Transmission Investment LLC (Texas Transmission)
owns 19.75% of our membership interests and certain members of our management team and board of directors indirectly own the remaining
membership interests through Oncor Management Investment LLC (Investment LLC). We are managed as an integrated business;
consequently, there are no separate reportable business segments.
Our consolidated financial statements include our wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote financing subsidiary, Oncor Electric Delivery
Transition Bond Company LLC (Bondco), a variable interest entity. This financing subsidiary was organized for the limited purpose of issuing
certain transition bonds in 2003 and 2004. Bondco issued $1.3 billion principal amount of transition bonds to recover generation-related
regulatory asset stranded costs and other qualified costs under an order issued by the PUCT in 2002.
Various "ring-fencing" measures have been taken to enhance the separateness between the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities and the Texas
Holdings Group, each as defined below, and our credit quality. These measures serve to mitigate our and Oncor Holdings' credit exposure to
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1193311/000119312515326475/d55228d424b3.htm[9/23/2015 5:24:48 PM]


424B3
Texas Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (Texas Holdings Group) and to reduce the risk that our assets and liabilities or those of
Oncor Holdings would be substantively consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the Texas Holdings Group in connection with a
bankruptcy of one or more of those entities, including the EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings discussed below. Such measures include, among other
things: our sale of a 19.75% equity interest to Texas Transmission in November 2008; maintenance of separate books and records for Oncor
Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities); our board of directors being comprised of a majority of
independent directors; and prohibitions on the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities providing credit support to, or receiving credit support from, any
member of the Texas Holdings Group. The assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are separate and distinct from those of the
Texas Holdings Group, including TXU Energy and Luminant, and none of the assets of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are available to satisfy
the debt or contractual obligations of any member of the Texas Holdings Group. We do not bear any liability for debt or contractual
obligations of the Texas Holdings Group, and vice versa. Accordingly, our operations are conducted, and our cash flows are managed,
independently from the Texas Holdings Group.
Neither EFH Corp. nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates other than Oncor will be obligated on, guarantee, or provide other credit or
funding support for, the Notes.
EFH Corp. Bankruptcy Proceedings
On April 29, 2014 (EFH Petition Date), EFH Corp. and the substantial majority of its direct and indirect subsidiaries that are members of
the Texas Holdings Group, including EFIH, EFCH and TCEH, commenced proceedings under Chapter 11 of


2
Table of Contents
the US Bankruptcy Code. The Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are not parties to the EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings. We believe the "ring-fencing"
measures discussed above mitigate our potential exposure to the EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings. See Note 2 to Interim Financial Statements for
a discussion of the potential impacts of the EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings on our financial statements and a discussion of the proposed change
in control of Oncor's indirect majority owner in connection with such proceedings.
The US Bankruptcy Code automatically enjoined, or stayed, us from judicial or administrative proceedings or filing of other actions
against our affiliates or their property to recover, collect or secure our claims arising prior to the EFH Petition Date. Following the EFH
Petition Date, EFH Corp. received approval from the bankruptcy court to pay or otherwise honor certain prepetition obligations generally
designed to stabilize its operations. Included in the approval were the obligations owed to us representing our prepetition electricity delivery
fees. As of the EFH Petition Date, we estimated that our receivables from the Texas Holdings Group totaled approximately $129 million.
Since that time, we have collected $127 million of the prepetition amount. We estimate any potential pre-tax loss resulting from the EFH
Bankruptcy Proceedings to be immaterial. A provision for uncollectible accounts from affiliates had not been established as of June 30, 2015.
Potential Change in Control of Majority Owner or Other Change in Ownership of Oncor
As part of the EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings, on August 10, 2015, EFH Corp. and the other debtors filed with the bankruptcy court a third
amended joint plan of reorganization (as such may be amended from time to time, Plan of Reorganization) and related amended disclosure
statement (as such may be amended from time to time, Disclosure Statement). In general, the Plan of Reorganization proposes a merger and
investment structure that involves a tax-free deconsolidation of TCEH from EFH Corp. and the reorganization of EFH Corp. and EFIH
pursuant to a plan of reorganization backstopped by existing creditors and third party investors. In this regard, the Plan of Reorganization
provides for a series of transactions that would lead to a significant change in the indirect equity ownership of Oncor. Subject to the approval
of the bankruptcy court, acquisition entities (Purchasers) controlled by an investor group consisting of certain unsecured creditors of TCEH and
an affiliate of Hunt Consolidated, Inc. (Hunt), as well as certain other investors designated by Hunt to acquire (EFH Acquisition) reorganized
EFH Corp. (Reorganized EFH), would acquire pursuant to a merger and purchase agreement direct or indirect equity interests in Reorganized
EFH and EFIH that indirectly represent all of the outstanding equity interests in Oncor Holdings and at least 80.03% of the outstanding equity
interests in Oncor.
On August 28, 2015, at the request of and with the consent of EFIH, we and Oncor Holdings entered into a letter agreement with the
Purchasers. The letter agreement sets forth certain rights and obligations of the Oncor entities and the Purchasers to cooperate in the manner
set forth therein with respect to initial steps to be taken in connection with the EFH Acquisition and the other transactions described in the
related merger and purchase agreement.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1193311/000119312515326475/d55228d424b3.htm[9/23/2015 5:24:48 PM]


424B3
The letter agreement is not intended to give either Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of any
Oncor entity prior to the receipt of all approvals required by the bankruptcy court, the PUCT and other governmental entities and the
consummation of the EFH Acquisition and related transactions (if and when such transactions are consummated). In addition, Oncor Holdings
and Oncor have not endorsed or approved any restructuring involving Oncor Holdings or Oncor or any other transaction proposed by the
Purchasers involving Oncor Holdings or Oncor, and the parties acknowledge that further action will be required by Oncor Holdings and Oncor
in order for any such restructuring or other transaction to be completed.
We cannot predict the outcome of the EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings and the related stakeholder negotiations, including whether the
bankruptcy court will approve the EFH Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization or whether any such
transactions will (or when they will) ultimately close because any such transactions would be the subject of customary closing conditions,
including receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals and the requirements of the US Bankruptcy Code or the bankruptcy court.
The EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings are a complex litigation matter and the full extent of potential impacts on Oncor at this time is
unknown. The Plan of Reorganization and the Disclosure Statement are subject to revision in response to creditor claims and objections, the
ultimate outcome of stakeholder negotiations and the requirements of the US Bankruptcy Code or the bankruptcy court. Bankruptcy courts
have broad equitable powers, and as a result, outcomes in bankruptcy proceedings are inherently difficult to predict. As indicated above, the
Plan of Reorganization contemplates transactions that would result in a change in control of Oncor and implicate a regulatory review. In light
of the proposed EFH Acquisition and other proposals in the EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings and the filing of the Plan of Reorganization and
Disclosure Statement, and as contemplated by the letter agreement discussed above, we have made some preliminary preparations for potential
change in control filings. However, we cannot predict the result of any transaction or review. In addition, we will continue to evaluate our
affiliate transactions and contingencies throughout the EFH Bankruptcy Proceedings to determine any risks and resulting impacts on our
results of operations, financial statements and cash flows.

Notice of Corporate Separateness
Pursuant to commitments made to the PUCT, we and our majority equity investor, EFH Corp, have implemented certain structural and
operational "ring-fencing" measures that are intended to further separate us from EFH Corp and certain of its other subsidiaries. See this
"Prospectus Summary" section and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 for more information
regarding these "ring-fencing" measures. By your receipt of this prospectus, you acknowledge the receipt of the notice of corporate
separateness given hereby.


We are a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, formed in 2007 as the successor entity to Oncor
Electric Delivery Company, formerly known as TXU Electric Delivery Company, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Texas in
2001. Our principal executive offices are located at 1616 Woodall Rodgers Freeway, Dallas, TX 75202. The telephone number of our
principal executive offices is (214) 486-2000. Our Internet address is http://www.oncor.com. Information on our website or available by

424B3
On March 24, 2015, we issued $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.950% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (outstanding 2025
notes) and $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2045 (outstanding 2045 notes, and together with the
outstanding 2025 notes, the outstanding notes) in a private offering. The term "2025 exchange notes" refers to the 2.950% Senior Secured
Notes due 2025 and the term "2045 exchange notes" refers to the 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2045 each as registered under the
Securities Act that are subject to the exchange offer, and all of which collectively are referred to as the "exchange notes." The term "notes"
collectively refers to the outstanding notes and the exchange notes.

General
In connection with the private offerings of the outstanding notes, we entered into a registration
rights agreement with the initial purchasers in such offerings pursuant to which we agreed, among
other things, to deliver this prospectus to you and to use commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the exchange offers within 315 days after the date of original issuance of the outstanding
notes. You are entitled to exchange in the exchange offers your outstanding notes for the
exchange notes that are identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes except:

· the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act;

· the exchange notes are not entitled to any registration rights which are applicable to the
outstanding notes under the registration rights agreement; and


· the additional interest provision of the registration rights agreement is not applicable.
The Exchange Offers
We are offering to exchange:

· $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.950% Senior Secured Notes due 2025
that have been registered under the Securities Act for any and all of our existing
restricted 2.950% Senior Secured Notes due 2025; and

· $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2045
that have been registered under the Securities Act for any and all of our existing
restricted 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2045

You may only exchange outstanding notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.
Resale
Based on an interpretation by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third
parties, we believe that the exchange notes issued pursuant to the exchange offers in exchange for
the outstanding notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you (unless
you are our "affiliate" within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without
compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act,
provided that:

· you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; and

· you have not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes.

If you are a broker-dealer and receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for
outstanding notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, you must acknowledge that you will deliver this prospectus in connection with any
resale of the exchange notes and that you are not our affiliate and did not purchase your
outstanding notes from us or any of our affiliates. See "Plan of Distribution."
Any holder of outstanding notes who:


· is our affiliate;

424B3
· does not acquire exchange notes in the ordinary course of its business; or

· tenders its outstanding notes in the exchange offers with the intention to participate, or
for the purpose of participating, in a distribution of exchange notes

cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC enunciated in Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available
May 13, 1988), as interpreted in Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993), or similar no-
action letters and, in the absence of an exemption therefrom, must comply with the registration
and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the
exchange notes.

Our belief that the exchange notes may be offered for resale without compliance with the
registration or prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act is based on interpretations of
the SEC for other exchange offers that the SEC expressed in some of its no-action letters to other
issuers in exchange offers like ours. We cannot guarantee that the SEC would make a similar
decision about our exchange offers. If our belief is wrong, or if you cannot truthfully make the
representations mentioned above, and you transfer any exchange note issued to you in the
exchange offers without meeting the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act, or without an exemption from such requirements, you could incur liability under
the Securities Act. We are not indemnifying you for any such liability.
Expiration Date
The exchange offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 22, 2015, unless
extended by us. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date
Withdrawal
You may withdraw the tender of your outstanding notes at any time prior to the expiration of the
exchange offers. We will return to you any of your outstanding notes that are not accepted for any
reason for exchange, without expense to you, promptly after the expiration or termination of the
exchange offers.
Conditions to the Exchange Offers
Each exchange offer is subject to customary conditions. We reserve the right to waive any
defects, irregularities or conditions to exchange as to particular outstanding notes. See "The
Exchange Offers--Conditions to the Exchange Offers."
Procedures for Tendering Outstanding
If you wish to participate in either of the exchange offers, you must either:
Notes

· complete, sign and date the applicable accompanying letter of transmittal, or a facsimile
of the letter of transmittal, in accordance with the instructions contained in this
prospectus and the letter of transmittal, and mail or deliver such letter of transmittal or
facsimile thereof to the exchange agent at the address set forth on the cover page of the
letter of transmittal; or

· if you hold outstanding notes through the Depository Trust Company (DTC), comply
with DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program procedures described in this prospectus,
by which you will agree to be bound by the letter of transmittal.

By signing, or agreeing to be bound by, the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that,
among other things:

· you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business;

any of our affiliates; and

Special Procedures for Beneficial
If you are a beneficial owner of outstanding notes that are registered in the name of a broker,
Owners
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and you wish to tender those
outstanding notes in either of the exchange offers, you should contact the registered holder
promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender those outstanding notes on your behalf. If you
wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of
transmittal and delivering your outstanding notes, either make appropriate arrangements to
register ownership of the outstanding notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond
power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable
time and may not be able to be completed prior to the expiration date.
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
If you wish to tender your outstanding notes and your outstanding notes are not immediately
available, or you cannot deliver your outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal or any other
required documents, or you cannot comply with the procedures under DTC's Automated Tender
Offer Program for transfer of book-entry interests prior to the expiration date, you must tender
your outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in this
prospectus under "The Exchange Offers--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."
Effect on Holders of Outstanding Notes
As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of all validly tendered outstanding
notes pursuant to the terms of, the exchange offers, we will have fulfilled a covenant under the
registration rights agreement. Accordingly, there will be no increase in the applicable interest rate
on the outstanding notes under the circumstances described in the registration rights agreement. If
you do not tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offers, you will continue to be entitled
to all the rights and limitations applicable to the outstanding notes as set forth in the Indenture (as
defined below), except we will not have any further obligation to you to provide for the exchange
and registration of untendered outstanding notes under the registration rights agreement. To the
extent that outstanding notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offers, the trading market
for outstanding notes that are not so tendered and accepted could be adversely affected.
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
All untendered outstanding notes will remain outstanding and continue to be subject to the
restrictions on transfer set forth in the outstanding notes and in the Indenture. In general, the
outstanding notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act, except
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offers, we do not currently
anticipate that we will register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.
United States Federal Income Tax
The exchange of outstanding notes in the exchange offers will not be a taxable event for US
Consequences
federal income tax purposes. See "Summary of Material United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences."
Use of Proceeds
