Wind (onshore and offshore)

NRG has ownership in four wind farms in Texas – Elbow Creek, Langford, Sherbino and South Trent.

• The 120 MW Elbow Creek Wind Farm in Howard County near Big Spring consists of 53 Siemens wind turbine generators, each able to generate up to 2.3 MW of power.
  
  
• The 150 MW Langford Wind Farm 25 miles south of San Angelo uses 100 General Electric 1.5 MW wind turbine generators on approximately 35,000 acres of land.
  
  
• The 101 megawatt South Trent wind farm near Sweetwater consists of 44 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines capable, at maximum capacity, of powering more than 80,000 homes.
  
  
• NRG, along with BP Wind Energy, also developed the 150 MW Sherbino I Wind Farm in Pecos County. The Sherbino I Wind Farm consists of 50 Vestas wind turbine generators, each capable of generating up to 3 MW of power. The wind farm, which BP operates and dispatches, is located approximately 40 miles east of Fort Stockton on approximately 10,000 acres.

Offshore, NRG is developing projects off the coasts of Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey through its NRG Bluewater Wind subsidiary, which the Company acquired in 2009.

NRG Bluewater has formally responded to Federal Requests for Interest for projects off the coast of Delaware and Maryland, and is one of three preferred developers selected to build a project off the coast of New Jersey. For the Delaware project, known as the Mid-Atlantic Wind Park, NRG secured the nation's first offshore power purchase agreement (PPA) for 200 megawatts and is pursuing additional PPAs across Delmarva. NRG Bluewater was also granted a $4 million rebate by New Jersey to build a meteorological tower to assess wind speed and tidal conditions. The company is a finalist for a U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantee, is working with several mid-Atlantic states to develop one or more staging ports and is funding the creation of a wind-power technician curriculum in concert with Delaware Technical College.

Working with state and federal regulators and policymakers to secure additional permitting milestones, NRG Bluewater is positioned as the leader in developing the mid-Atlantic's vast offshore wind resource.
