TXU Electric Delivery Launches Lifetime of Safety Campaign
Dallas, TX -

TXU Electric Delivery today announced a year-long initiative to help the public avoid electrical injuries by keeping safety information in the spotlight throughout the new year.

"As our lifetime theme indicates, the value of electrical safety has no boundaries," said Rob Trimble, president and chief operating officer, Electric Delivery company. "It applies every day through every season of the year and is equally vital to children and seniors and everyone in between."

Electrical safety tips appropriate to the various seasons will be released publicly at least monthly. They will be made available to news media in areas of Texas served by Electric Delivery and will be posted on the company's Web site, www.txuelectricdelivery.com/safety.

"With more than a century of experience delivering power to homes and businesses in Texas, we are proud to pass along our expertise to help keep you and your family safe. Electric Delivery is pleased to sponsor this public awareness campaign on behalf of our employees, who put safety first every day, and the communities in Texas we are privileged to serve,” said Trimble.  "We urge everyone to memorize these tips and apply them every day at home and at work. You may be surprised at how many you haven't thought about."

TXU Electric Delivery Company, a subsidiary of TXU Corp (NYSE: TXU), operates the largest distribution and transmission system in Texas, providing power to three million homes and businesses over more than 100,000 miles of distribution and 14,000 miles of transmission lines.

Our featured tips this month highlight post-Holiday safety:

• Get a head start on safety for the next holiday season. Before storing your holiday light strings, check for damaged cords and plugs, and replace as needed.
• To avoid fire hazard, don't continue to light up a natural tree after branches and needles are dry.
• Be sure that any new electric-powered plug-in toys bear the seal of Underwriters Laboratories or another recognized certification specialist.
• Teach children not to carry electrical toys and products by the cord.
• For older children, teach the right way to unplug an electrical product by holding the plug – not the cord.
• For younger children, install childproof electric outlets in your home.
