ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
 
On October 3, 2006, in connection with the pending transition to full competition in the Texas retail electricity market that will occur as a result of the expiration of price-to-beat (“PTB”) on January 1, 2007, TXU Energy Company LLC (“TXU Energy Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TXU Corp. (the “Company”), announced a four-part strategy to lead the retail electricity market. The strategy includes the following four elements:

·  
Special One-Time Appreciation Bonus A special, one-time customer appreciation bonus of $100 for residential customers who live in areas where TXU Energy Holdings offers the PTB rate. The customer appreciation bonus is expected to result in a one-time, pretax charge of approximately $165 million to $170 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

·  
Unprecedented Three-Year Price Protection In order to protect customers against the risk of rising wholesale power prices, TXU Energy Holdings will provide price protection to its residential PTB customers of record as of December 31, 2006, who chose to remain on TXU Energy Holdings’ basic month-to-month plan and meet certain other criteria, for a period of three years until at least January 1, 2010.

·  
New, Aggressively-Priced Competitive Offers New pricing plans that offer consumers the option to save money today while also securing long-term price certainty.   Additionally, for a limited time, any PTB customer who chooses one of TXU Energy Holdings' non-PTB plans, or any customer who chooses any of TXU Energy Holdings' term plans, will receive a $25 sign-up incentive.

·  
Low-Income Discount An extension of TXU Energy Holdings’ 10% low-income customer discount program through September 1, 2007.

The Company and TXU Energy Holdings cannot predict the number of customers that may take advantage of the last three elements of this program and the impact, if any, that these elements will have on their results of operations.
