TXU Builds Global Empire Aims for Growth Abroad
TXU of Dallas expands beyond Texas to Europe and Australia seeking growth in deregulated markets. The firm has invested in utilities overseas and now sells energy to over 11 million customers. 1999 revenue from Europe is 17.1 billion, though profits from Europe are expected to dip due to lower English prices. Company officials expect overseas earnings to recover and support domestic profits, with plans to ease into further foreign acquisitions later. The group says its Europe experience informs its US deregulation strategy.
