More than 30 community events will help connect Texans with cooling resources and bill-payment assistance

IRVING, Texas , June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As summer temperatures rise across Texas, TXU Energy is once again partnering with nonprofit organizations across the state to help Texans stay safe, cool, and connected to critical resources during the hottest months of the year.

Through its signature Beat the Heat program, TXU Energy is donating $150,000 to provide cooling assistance where it is needed most, through the distribution of box fans, window air conditioning units, and support for community cooling centers.

"Summer heat affects every corner of Texas, but not everyone has the resources to stay safe when temperatures climb," said Scott Hudson, president of TXU Energy. "For more than 25 years, Beat the Heat has been one of the ways we put our commitment to Texas communities into action. We're proud to work alongside our trusted local nonprofit partners to reach even more Texans and help them stay cool, safe, and supported throughout the summer."
