econrg is our flagship program to move clean energy forward, making NRG's existing fleet cleaner and our future generation smarter—green and affordable. Through econrg, NRG builds upon its strong foundation in environmental compliance. We continue to demonstrate our commitment to environmentally responsible power generation through many channels:

We are actively investing in new clean generating facilities and technologies: Renewable Energy (Wind, Solar, Biomass) Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Smart Energy Carbon Capture and Sequestration Plasma Gasification

We significantly reduced emissions from our existing power generating facilities and will continue,—through the installation of advanced control technologies, deployment of new operating practices and repowering older units—to further reduce emissions from those facilities. Our efforts are focused not only on air, but water and waste.

We are pursuing and supporting the growth of the electric vehicle ecosystem, providing a growing network of charging infrastructure and services. We want to give drivers the range confidence they need to join the EV revolution because electricity provides both a cheaper and cleaner alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles.

econrg also fosters sustainable practices among employees through both the "Carbon Reductions at Home and at Work" and "econrg in the Office" programs, both of which are designed to educate and encourage changes in the daily lives of our employees. We engage in activities that protect and preserve our ecosystem, aligning our actions with our environmental values.
