Electrical Power Generation Operations
NRG's power plants provide more than 25,000 megawatts of generation capacity, enough to supply more than 20 million homes.
In late 2005, NRG Energy bought Texas-based Texas Genco from a group of private equity firms for roughly $5.9 billion.
Today, NRG has 29 traditional gas, coal, and oil power plants located across 11 states, including 9 in Texas. Additionally, NRG has 6 operational "clean energy" facilities, including wind farms, a solar farm, and the South Texas Nuclear Plant (STNP)
NRG also owns or has an interest in generating facilities in Europe, Australia, and Latin America. NRG's operations include baseload, intermediate, peaking, and cogeneration facilities, as well as thermal energy production and energy resource recovery facilities.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
