Vistra Corp.

This week, we celebrated with Meta – recognizing what strong partnerships can make possible for American innovation and security, the future of energy, and the communities we serve. We were joined by employees, labor partners, community organizations, elected officials, and our friends in the business community. Together, Vistra and Meta are advancing a 20-year agreement tied to more than 2,600 MW of existing nuclear energy within PJM from our Davis-Besse, Perry, and Beaver Valley nuclear plants.  Importantly, this partnership also includes new nuclear capacity via continued investment in our nuclear fleet with planned uprates – a 15% increase in capacity across three plants – that will add new power to the grid while helping ensure the long-term future of these facilities. In fact, this partnership is now enabling us to extend nuclear operations at these plants into the 2050s and 2060s, creating 3,000 project-related jobs and opening opportunities for the next generation of nuclear workers.  Notably, our nuclear plants will continue providing electricity to the PJM grid exactly as they do today, helping ensure reliability for millions of homes and businesses while meeting growing demand. And the impact goes well beyond megawatts. Initiatives like this help position Ohio and Pennsylvania as leaders in innovation, next-generation technologies, and long-term economic growth – while supporting jobs, local investment, and stronger communities. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate, including Pat Tiberi and the Ohio Business Roundtable, and Nat Sahlstrom and the team at Meta, who helped make this next chapter possible.   

Great to see our two OBRT members, Meta and Vistra Corp., coming together in Lake County. Today at Vistra’s Perry power plant, our President & CEO, Pat Tiberi, spoke about what this partnership means not just for Ohio’s economy, but for the country as a whole. Investments like these strengthen our communities, support innovation, and reinforce the critical role Ohio plays in our nation’s future. Special thanks to Jim Burke for his leadership, and to the legislators and local leaders who continue working to move projects like this forward in Ohio.

The competitive power sector can meet this critical moment of serving growing power demand while keeping the grid reliable and affordable for all. Nuclear power is an important part of that solution and Vistra leads the way.

America’s growing energy demand is reinforcing the importance of reliable, always-on power. That was a key focus at Vistra’s Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant, where U.S. Senator Dave McCormick visited last week as part of his tour of critical energy sites across Western Pennsylvania. For decades, Beaver Valley has provided zero-carbon, 24/7 electricity that communities and businesses depend on every day – and as demand continues to grow, discussions focused on the importance of protecting existing nuclear generation while creating opportunities for future investment and development. The visit also included conversations about recently introduced permitting reform legislation to streamline nuclear industry processes and support investment in energy infrastructure. While the path forward continues to evolve, one thing is clear: maintaining America’s energy leadership will require strong partnerships between industry and policymakers to ensure reliable, secure, affordable electricity for generations to come.  

We’re excited to see TXU Energy’s work with Ford Motor Company featured in Ford’s From the Road series. It’s a great recognition of what strong partnerships can do for customers. With the TXU Energy Free EV Miles program, Ford EV and plug-in hybrid drivers in Texas can charge at home during off-peak hours, typically overnight, at no cost. In other words, they can save money while charging when demand on the grid is lower. And it’s working. In the program’s first full year, 94% of participants’ home charging shifted to off-peak hours, helping reduce strain during peak times and making EV ownership more affordable.

A powerful example of what’s possible when community, employers and nonprofits align around opportunity.   This story from The Dallas Morning News highlights how innovative workforce efforts in South Dallas are opening doors for individuals with criminal records, connecting them to meaningful employment and a second chance at stability.   We’re especially proud to see the South Dallas Employment Project (SDEP) recognized. As a Pathways to Work partner—United Way of Metropolitan Dallas’ initiative focused on expanding access to quality jobs and career pathways—SDEP provides employment services alongside critical wraparound support, helping individuals successfully transition from re-entry to long-term employment.   👏 Thank you to Vistra Corp. and leaders like Jim Burke (our 2026 Annual Campaign Chair), Annette Underwood and Lauren Driscoll for championing this work and expanding access to opportunity. Jim’s focus on Pathways to Work as his campaign platform reflects the importance of efforts like these across our community.   And congratulations to Van Parker, named Social Innovator of the Year at The Pitch in 2025—well deserved recognition for advancing solutions that change lives.   This is what it looks like when we invest in people, remove barriers, and build stronger communities—together.   🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/ghnVxYZ7

At Vistra, we believe stronger communities are built when more people have the opportunity to participate and succeed. We were proud to support the North Texas Disability Chamber's Inclusion Summit as the Accessibility Sponsor, bringing together important conversations on accessibility and opportunity. We also appreciated the chance to stay part of that conversation through the Chamber’s Catalyst Leadership Series, where Scott Hudson, Vistra’s president of retail, shared perspectives on leadership and building pathways for long-term growth. Grateful to the NTXDC and everyone helping move this work forward.
