History

TXU orginated all the way back in 1882 and that company became Dallas Power & Light in 1917, and then joined with two other utilities in 1945 under the Texas Utilities holding company. The three merged in 1984 to become TU Electric. The TXU name was adopted in 1999 as the company expanded operations and quickly grew to become one of North America's leading energy services companies and energy retailers.
