July 7 (UPI) -- Berkshire Hathaway Energy confirmed Friday it will buy debt-ridden Texas power company Energy Future Holdings Corp.
The division of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. will pay $9 billion in cash to obtain Energy Future, whose holdings include Oncor Electric Delivery Co. Adding Oncor would reinforce a Berkshire division which Buffett has praised as generating returns with minimal reinvestment, The New York Times said Friday.
