TXU Chairman John Wilder saw his total compensation in 2006 soar to $17.3 million, which included nearly $13.7 million in stock awards and also $365,916 in upgrades to his home's security system.

TXU, which earned $2.55 billion last year and is the subject of a pending $45 billion buyout, disclosed Wilder's pay and that of other top executives in a filing Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company also faces a proposed $210 million in fine and penalties by the Public Utility Commission of Texas for allegedly manipulating electricity prices during the summer of 2005.
