IRVING, Texas, June 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vistra Energy
(NYSE: VST) today announced its latest retail electricity product,
TXU Energy Pure Solar, which provides residential customers easy
access to solar power. All of the energy purchased comes from solar
farms, including the company's Luminant Upton 2 Solar Power Plant,
Texas' largest solar facility.
This innovative retail product further delivers on Vistra Energy's
strategic plan to market enhanced retail solar offerings made
possible by the company's integrated business model.
"This is a great example of how both sides of our business work
together – we can couple our retail business with our
commercial operations, meeting our retail needs with generation
development," said Jim Burke, chief
operating officer of Vistra Energy. "We continue to see increased
customer demand for solar, but some customers have found it
difficult to get the solar power they want because rooftop panels
aren't an option. This retail product gives those customers what
they want, in a way that is simple and easy."
TXU Energy customers can now turn any electricity plan into a
renewable solar plan with TXU Energy Pure Solar. This value-add
allows customers to continue to choose the plan that's right for
them, based on the way they use electricity, but now they can also
choose solar energy. Customers can add TXU Energy Pure Solar to any
plan for a nominal fee and ensure that solar energy is being
produced and delivered to the ERCOT grid in amounts equal to their
energy usage.
"This product brings affordability and flexibility to those
customers who want to use solar, but who don't want a 20-year
commitment, like you get with rooftop panels. Plus, there's no
installation needed, and no maintenance required from the customer.
We're especially excited for our customers in apartments and lease
agreements to be able to take advantage of this product," Burke
added.
TXU Energy Pure Solar is a first-of-its-kind offering in
Texas. Known for its innovation
and its desire to give customers what they want, TXU Energy's
renewable portfolio of offerings is the most comprehensive in
ERCOT, with eight products, many of which were first-to-market.
Other renewable energy firsts include its popular 100% renewable
Free Nights and Solar Days plan, community solar through TXU Energy
Solar Club, and its 100% solar plan called TXU Energy Solar
Advantage.
