'''NRG Energy, Inc.''' first incorporated in May 29 of 1992 and is engaged in wholesale power generation. The company works in several levels of energy production such as the ownership, constructional, developmental and operational levels of power production facilities. NRG Energy is also involved in fuel and transportation transactions and trading. It is also a big player in energy trading and other energy related services and products in the United States as well as globally.
 
Energy Generating Assets
 
  
'''NRG Energy''' posted a portfolio of 223 operational generator units running in 51 power generation facilities during the end of December of 1006. The total generation capacity of which is estimated at 24,175 megawatts.

''In the United States, NRG Energy runs several energy producing facilities using a diverse number of technologies for power production.'' NRG Energy maintains power plants using natural gas, oil-fired, coal and nuclear power in order to generate energy. Overall, these plants accounts for the power generation capacity of NRG Energy in the following manner: natural gas accounts for 45%, coal accounts for 34%, oil-fired power generation accounts for 15% and nuclear power accounts for 5%. Fifteen percent of NRG Energy's energy generating plants in the United States have dual fuel or multiple fuel capacity so that the power plants can generate energy at a considerably lower cost of fuel. These power plants also have baseload, intermediate and peaking energy production facilities and also include thermal power production facilities.

NRG Thermal is one of the largest divisions operating under NRG management. It operates energy systems comprised of power plants and heat plants on a national scale, the NRG Energy Centers. These energy centers are each unique and capable of particular serves. They provide hear, cool or even steam used in industrial manufacturing processes. These systems serve users from home users to industrial consumers in all major US cities.
  
The assets of NRG Energy in the United Stats as of the end of 2006 was recorded to consist around 10,470 megawatts power generation through gas-fired power plants, 7,815 megawatts power generation through coal-fired power plants, 3,555 megawatts power generation through oil-fired power plants and 1,100 megawatts power generation through nuclear energy power plants. Additionally, the NRG Energy company is also owner of around 1,230 megawatts of power generation through its thermal power plants along with over 1,235 megawatts of power generation in overseas power plants.

The goal is to continue meeting the more and more exigent needs of the communities that use and rely on the energy power facilities provide.
Power Generation By Region
 
  
NRG Energy's power production assets in the Texas region's base load power generation assets consist of around 5,280 megawatts of power production capacity. The company also has gas-fired intermediate and peaking assets with around 5,480 megawatts of power production capability. A large part of NRG Energy's revenues and cash flow depends highly on the power sales based on the company's three baseload power plants in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) location. Most of these power plants use solid fuel power production facilities. W.A.
