Partnerships

NRG has developed a wide range of partnerships with local groups in communities that share our goal of protecting the environment.

Among our recent efforts:

• We've provided support in the form of funding to SeaLab in California. SeaLab is a division of the LA Conservation Corps that offers at-risk young adults and school-aged children opportunities to succeed. SeaLab focuses on environmental and service projects that benefit the community.
• At several of our New York plants — including Arthur Kill, Astoria, and Dunkirk — we have partnered with and donated funds to environmental projects such as restoring public spaces on Staten Island and conducting environmental studies in the Long Island Sound.
• NRG helped finance the Delmarva Odyssey project, a collaboration between the Delaware Museum of Natural History and John Wik, a recognized environmental scientist.
• We support the Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership (CWRP), part of the Coastal America Foundation — an organization dedicated to preserving, restoring, enhancing and protecting aquatic habitats throughout the United States.
• At our Montville facility in Connecticut, we established environmental scholarships for qualifying high school graduates from the Montville High School and the Waterford High School. The students displayed environmental stewardship and plans to pursue a degree in science or engineering.
• The NRG Energy Center in Pittsburgh supports the Northside Leadership Conference's Allegheny Commons Restoration Project, which works to preserve and protect trees native to the Commons.
• At our Limestone facility in Texas we've supported the Texas A&M University Replant Project — a annual, day-long environmental service tree-planting project.
