About Luminant:
- Luminant is a competitive power generation business with plant and mine operations, wholesale marketing and trading, and construction and development of power plants. It has over 16,100 megawatts of generation in Texas, including 2,300 megawatts fueled by nuclear power and 5,800 megawatts fueled by coal.
- With a current portfolio of more than 900 MW of wind energy and a commitment to increase it to 1,500 MW, Luminant is the largest wind purchaser in Texas and the fifth largest in the United States.
- Luminant has mined and restored over 65,000 acres and planted over 28 million trees in a reclamation program that consistently earns the nation's top awards for environmental excellence, including an unprecedented five Director's Awards from the Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining.
Serving Texans by Providing:
- Cleaner, Dependable Supply: Luminant is constructing 2,200 MW of coal-fueled generation in Robertson and Milam counties to help satisfy Texas' near-term capacity needs. This $3.25 billion investment includes state-of-the-art emissions-control technology and provides a significant economic stimulus to the region. Additionally, Luminant has committed to the largest voluntary program ever undertaken by a power company to reduce key emissions from its existing coal-fueled generating fleet.
- Stronger Environmental Policies: Luminant is increasing its investment and research to develop new and emerging clean-energy solutions. They include technologies aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon capture and storage, and continuing leadership in developing renewable energy.
- Nuclear Plant Excellence: Luminant's Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant operates safely at performance that is among the best in the industry. In a joint venture with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Luminant is also evaluating the potential expansion of Comanche Peak. Two new units, totaling 3,400 MW, could provide enough clean-air nuclear energy to power over 1.5 million Texas homes.
- Community Investment: Few companies invest more time and money in their communities than Luminant. Luminant's activities provide a powerful economic benefit to local communities and the state. Partnerships such as Luminant Academy in Tyler train and help employ adults, while initiatives including the Luminant Scholar Program help thousands of students gain increased environmental awareness and earn scholarships.
