Sempra trebles equity in Oncor bid

摘要

sempra energy has tripled the amount of equity it will raise to more than US$6bn in its quest to secure regulatory approval to acquire bankrupt energy future holdings. The US Bankruptcy Court has already approved the US$9.45bn acquisition but EFH's 80% stake in Texas power utility Oncor means it also needs the backing of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, which has rejected two previous bids.
