Policy Principles
NRG’s political advocacy is guided by four overarching policy principles, which connect all our work and drive us to take action in our communities.
Customers should have a choice in their electricity provider. Competition drives companies to develop products that meet the needs of customers and encourages companies to provide customer-centric services.
Customers should have the ability to choose energy providers that match their renewable energy and efficiency goals. Competitive markets allow energy providers to cater to customers who prefer supporting wind and solar energy.
Retail energy policies promote innovation through competition. In our modern energy landscape, innovation creates market efficiencies, improves customer experiences through new technologies, and increases the use of renewable energy.
Through best-in-class technologies and industry standards, retail energy helps ensure customers have access to energy when they need it most. Even when demand is high during the summer and winter months, retail energy provides a reliable source of electricity, gas, and other energy needs.
