Oncor will begin the process of refunding approximately $72 million, or about $12.58 for each residential consumer taking delivery service from the company at the end of December 2007. Eligible consumers should receive the credit on their September electric bills.

TXU Energy announced it has declared a summer moratorium on disconnects for customers designated as low-income, ill or disabled or who are at least 62 years of age this summer. TXU Energy also announced that more flexible deferred payment plans are available to these customers.

Today, Oncor filed for a rate review with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) and 204 cities, as previously committed to in an agreement with state leaders and other important stakeholders. If approved as requested, and if all costs are passed through to retail customers, this review would result in an increase of 2.7 percent or $5.09 per month for an average residential consumer.

Oncor expects to restore power to the remaining 3,600 homes and businesses in Dallas County without service this evening, less than 48 hours after a violent storm that hit North and East Texas. High winds and rain knocked power out to approximately 150,000 customers in North and East Texas yesterday at noon.

TXU Energy introduced its new energy conservation product – the TXU Energy iThermostatä. It replaces a customer's old thermostat with one designed to manage home energy use, save money and help the environment from any device connected to the Internet. It also allows TXU Energy to manage electric use during periods of peak energy demand.

Less than 24 hours after heavy rains and high winds passed through Oncor's service area in North and East Texas, power has been restored to more than (90%) of customers affected. Outages in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area have been reduced to 14,000 down from the original 135,000 at the height of the storm. Oncor crews and contractors worked through the night repairing and re-energizing damaged power lines, so thousands of Metroplex and East Texas customers are no longer in the dark.

A major storm is moving through Oncor's service area today, leaving downed power lines and power outages in its wake.

Luminant today announced that Texas Secretary of State Phil Wilson will join the company as Senior Vice President of Public Affairs. He will have oversight of the company's community relations, communications, regulatory and government affairs efforts.
