Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

We have corrected errors in the reconciliation of our non-GAAP outlook for 2007-2009 to GAAP.  These errors had no impact on our 2007-2009 outlook, which consists solely of non-GAAP measures, or on any of our historical measures.   The reconciliation was included in our August 2, 2007 release and related presentation of second quarter earnings, as well as subsequent presentations.  The errors in the reconciliation misstated our forecasted estimates of future unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives.   A corrected version of the reconciliation is currently available at http://www.reliant.com/investors under the heading “Revised Regulation G Outlook Reconciliation.”

 

The information in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K is being furnished, not filed. Accordingly, the information will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by Reliant Energy under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified as being incorporated by reference therein.
