Energy Future Said to Revive Talks on Bankruptcy Funding

Submitted by webadmin on

Energy Future Holdings Corp. is meeting with lenders in New York this week to discuss loans that would fund it through bankruptcy as the latest chapter of the power generator’s restructuring begins to unfold, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. Banks began presenting proposals to the former TXU Corp. yesterday to provide debtor-in-possession financing. Energy Future, purchased in the largest leveraged buyout in history six years ago, is resuming efforts to line up the funding less than two months before auditors may raise doubts about its ability to remain a going concern. The Dallas-based company is seeking to restructure $45.6 billion of debt after a plunge in natural gas prices, which set the price of electricity in the state, triggered 10 straight quarterly losses. Attempts to agree on a reorganization plan with creditors in October failed.
