TXU has achieved its tradition of environmental excellence
through a commitment to continuous improvement. As one of
the nation’s largest energy providers, we made environmental
stewardship a day-to-day corporate priority long ago.
The purpose of this report, our 12th annual environmental
review, is to provide a report card on how our progress measures
up to our corporate environmental principles, which seek to
balance environmental, economic and social needs in our everyday
decision-making and performance. Among our record of accomplishments
are the following:

Since 1990, TXU has added more than 2,600
megawatts of generation with zero air-emissions. Our commitment
to renewable energy has increased to the point that we
are now purchasing more than two times the amount we are
required to purchase, making us one of the largest purchasers
of wind energy in the nation.

TXU was again among the nation’s leaders
in the voluntary reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
by avoiding, eliminating or sequestering the equivalent
of 23.3 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2001 – bringing
our total reduction since 1991 to more than 193 million
tons.
