Smart consumers now have a new tool available to help them use less electricity and save more money. The Brighten^SM iThermostat, TXU Energy's flagship energy efficiency product, is exclusively available through TXU Energy. TXU Energy is the only retail electricity provider that offers the Web-enabled device.

Residential customers can save up to $360 or more over two years by using the pre-programmed settings on the Brighten^SM iThermostat, which are designed to deliver savings without sacrificing comfort. That's significant because the average household spends more than $2,000 a year on energy bills.

"Our focus is on helping customers control their energy use so they can save money on electricity," said Jim Burke, chief executive officer, TXU Energy. "The Brighten^SM iThermostat will help customers accomplish that and help the environment at the same time."

The Brighten^SM iThermostat is the first and only Web-enabled programmable thermostat in the competitive Texas retail electric market that gives consumers the ability to remotely monitor, control and personally manage their home temperature over the Internet.

The Brighten^SM iThermostat allows customers to:

• Track and monitor estimated heating and cooling costs
• Customize daily indoor temperature
• Change thermostat settings via the Internet-from virtually anywhere

 The Brighten^SM iThermostat comes with a mobile website (txu.com/control) compatible with the latest models of Apple® iPhone®, iPod touch®, iPad^TM, BlackBerry® Tour^TM and Android^TM smart phones (all brands).

The Brighten^SM iThermostat kit is valued at more than $450 and is available to TXU Energy residential customers for $5.99 per month with a two-year participation in the Brighten^SM Conservation Program, which enables a customer's air conditioning system to be cycled during select periods of peak energy demand.

This program includes a visual heating, venting and air conditioning (HVAC) inspection and installation by a TXU Energy authorized technician at no additional charge. To get the new Brighten^SM iThermostat, customers can call 1-866-733-1807 or go online at txu.com/iThermostat.

The Brighten^SM iThermostat is part of TXU Energy's plan to install 100,000 smart energy efficiency devices throughout Texas by 2012 as announced earlier this year.
