NRG Energy acquires 18 power plants as Texas power demand grows

NRG Energy announced Monday plans to acquire 18 natural gas plants across nine states—including Texas—in a move aimed at powering the state’s rapidly rising energy demand. 

The C3 Take
  • Texas based company is leading the way on energy: NRG’s $12B acquisition of 18 natural gas plants shows how private sector innovation can meet rising energy demand with reliable, scalable solutions.

  • Natural gas is essential for a cleaner future: It has been key to U.S. emissions reductions and will continue to support both human prosperity and environmental progress as part of an all-of-the-above energy mix.

  • Energy security = environmental prosperity and human flourishing: With growing pressure from data centers and extreme weather, market-driven investments like this one ensure Texas can power the future while keeping emissions in check.
