  • Every day, our work helps power the places our customers rely on most — their homes.   This week, we're proud to work alongside organizations providing critical needs that make a home possible. It's a meaningful reflection of our commitment to the people and communities we serve year-round.

    Today we kick off Impact Week at NRG Energy, and this year feels especially meaningful. NRG is centering our volunteer efforts around the concept of home.   Home is more than a place. It’s safety, stability, and belonging. This week, our teams are showing up across our communities to support housing, food security, and essential resources where life happens every day. I’m incredibly proud of our people and grateful to start a week that reflects how deeply we care about the places we call home. #LifeatNRG

  • Nothing feels urgent for your business in the moment. Then the demand charges show up on your energy bill. These are fees that aren’t based on your total monthly power usage. They’re tied to your highest 15-minute interval of energy use during periods of peak energy demand, as determined by the regional grid operator. One short burst of high usage during the grid’s busiest moments can shape your costs for months. And because no one knows exactly when it will occur, businesses are left to make their best guess. Here are some actionable tips to prepare your energy plan ahead of peak energy season: https://bit.ly/4wc5meU
