NRG currently serves over 8 million residential and business customers across its retail operations.

The firm highlighted NRG’s pending acquisition of 18 natural gas fired power plants across nine U.S. states, representing 13 GW of generation capacity from ECP. Additionally, the acquisition includes a leading commercial and industrial Virtual Power Plant with 6 GW capacity, further expanding NRG’s energy portfolio.
