Reliant Resources Inc. said in its quarterly 10Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it received a request from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas in October for information regarding “certain price reporting matters.”

As it previously reported, the Houston-based energy merchant said it also has received subpoenas and informal requests for information from the U.S. Attorneys for the Southern District of New York and the Northern District of California for documents, interviews and other information pertaining to the round trip trades, price reporting and alleged price manipulation.

“We have produced information to each of the U.S. attorneys’ offices. In response to July 24 subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California, a number of current and former employees have given interviews to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California or testified before the grand jury investigating allegations of electricity price manipulation,” the company said.

“These investigations could result in civil or criminal actions against us and our current or former employees,” the company said.
