Luminant Statement Regarding Thriving Texas Electric Market
DALLAS, TX -

Luminant today issued the following statement in response to wholesale electric bills filed:

This anti-Texan proposal is an attack on the free enterprise system and a strong-armed attempt to take private property while harming the long-term economic development of the state and disrupting a thriving competitive market.

This legislation is being pushed by a self-serving group of regulatory lawyers seeking to decimate a market which has sparked $36 billion in new generation investment in the last decade, with billions more planned. Their goal is to create a problem that doesn't exist while furthering their own business interests and ultimately hurting consumers.

Luminant is one of the largest taxpayers in Texas and a proud partner in the communities where our 4,000 employees work and live. Our $118 million in state tax contributions last year supports local schools, hospitals, county governments and other entities across Texas. We are committed to a vibrant market with the strong regulatory oversight that exists today.
