Every time we switch on a light, we make an impact on the environment. While most of us have limited choice in our energy providers, NRG’s 3.7 million customers can feel good about the company powering their lives.
NRG is a publicly-held energy company with a purpose to bring the power of energy to people and organizations. The company’s social impact platform, positiveNRG, engages employees, communities, and nonprofit organizations around NRG’s purpose, to drive impact at home and around the world.
