TXU Energy launched its second annual Beat the Heat Sweepstakes to give consumers a chance to win a grand prize of free electricity for up to 12 months.

“Even though consumers can’t control unpredictable outside temperatures in Texas, they can still beat the heat by monitoring electricity usage and expenses using tools and programs like the TXU Energy MyEnergy Dashboard^SM, Brighten® iThermostat or any of the free notifications and alerts we make available in our new Online Preference Center,” said Michael Grasso, chief marketing officer for TXU Energy. “We’re committed to helping consumers save electricity and money, and the 2013 Beat the Heat Sweepstakes is just one more way we create engagement and make it fun.”

Texans who are 18 or older can enter up to six times between July 22-Sept. 30 for a chance to win the sweepstakes. Participants have six ways to enter:

• Sign up for a TXU Energy residential electric plan – or take your existing plan with you if you move.
  
  
• Create a TXU Energy MyAccount.
  
  
• Sign up for Paperless Billing (and opt out of delivery by mail).
  
  
• Update your Communication Preferences to receive electronic notifications (and opt out of the delivery of applicable communications by mail).
  
  
• Like TXU Energy on Facebook and complete the sweepstakes entry form.

       P.O. Box 3002
       Rogers, MN 55374-3002

While the grand-prize winner will take home up to 12 months of free electricity, participants are also eligible for a second-place prize of up to six months of free electricity and a third-place prize of up to three months of free electricity. Sweepstakes entrants also have an opportunity to take home over 20 other great prizes by entering for a chance to win, including:

• Dallas Arboretum memberships.
