TXU Corp., a Dallas-based energy company, announced today the brand identity for Luminant Energy. TXU’s power generation and related businesses will be transitioned to the new Luminant Energy brand as part of the proposed merger agreement with an investor group led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Texas Pacific Group.
Today’s announcement is another step forward in separating TXU Corp.’s primary business units into three distinct businesses – Luminant Energy, Oncor Electric Delivery and TXU Energy.
“The new brand represents the company’s transformation and focus going forward,” said Tom Baker, vice chairman, TXU Corp. “The Luminant name and logo reflect its focus on providing cleaner energy, investing in renewable energy and ensuring that we meet customers’ power needs in a safe and reliable fashion. The re-branding of the power generation businesses will clearly distinguish Luminant Energy from Oncor Electric Delivery and TXU Energy.”
Luminant is launching television advertisements across Texas to introduce the name along with a new green-and-blue brand identity.
The people and assets of the power generation and related businesses will be part of the Luminant Energy brand. Luminant Energy will remain headquartered in Dallas, and will continue to provide jobs and investment in local communities across Texas. The transition is expected to be completed later this year.
