About Luminant:
- " Luminant is a competitive power generation business, including mining, wholesale marketing and trading, construction and development operations, with more than 18,300 MW of generation in Texas, including 2,300 MW of nuclear and 5,800 MW of coal-fueled generation capacity.
- Luminant is the largest purchaser of wind-generated electricity in Texas and the Southwest and fifth largest in the United States.

Serving Texans by Providing:
- Cleaner, Reliable Supply: Luminant is constructing 2,200 megawatts of coal-fueled generation to help satisfy Texas’s near-term capacity needs. The two-unit Oak Grove facility in Robertson County and the Sandow 5 unit in Milam County will be equipped with state-of-the-art emissions-control technology. Luminant is committed to reducing the overall key emissions of its coal-fueled generation fleet by 20% from 2005 levels. This commitment includes installing activated carbon-sorbent injection systems at all its coal-fueled generation units to significantly decrease mercury emissions.
- Stronger Environmental Policies: Luminant is increasing its investment in alternative and cleaner energy. Luminant is actively soliciting proposals for integrated gasification combined cycle plants in Texas, is supporting the FutureGen project to create a coal plant with near-zero emissions and has applied to join the U.S. Climate Action Partnership. Luminant continues to support wind energy, including a partnership with Shell WindEnergy Inc. to pursue development of a 3,000-MW wind project in Briscoe County.
- Nuclear Plant Excellence: Luminant’s Comanche Peak nuclear plant, which operates at top, safe performance levels, set a world record in 2007 during the replacement of Unit 1’s steam generators. Luminant is preparing Combined Construction and Operating Licenses to allow for two additional 1,700 MW units at the site.
- Community Investment: Few companies invest more time and money in their communities than Luminant. Luminant’s efforts to train and employ local residents help improve the lives of people and the quality of their communities. A 2007 partnership to form the Luminant Academy in Tyler is just one of many examples.
