Energy Future Holdings Loses Billions by Playing It Safe in the Natural Gas Market

SUGAR LAND--August 20, 2008--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Energy Future Holdings (EFH) (Dallas, Texas), formerly TXU Corporation, posted net income losses of $3.33 billion for the second quarter and losses of $4.6 billion for the first six months of 2008. These losses, however, are primarily due to EFH's long-term hedging strategies in the natural gas market. The company is engaged in a natural-gas hedging program from 2008 to 2014 in order to help maintain and regulate cash flow and stabilize electricity prices in the volatile power market.
