Earlier this month, NRG, in partnership with Google, announced a new offering for eligible Texas customers. Nest Renew, an innovative Google device, is a tool to help customers manage their energy usage and reduce their carbon footprint. It works by providing users with the capability to automatically shift electricity and heating usage to times when the grid is cleaner and, in turn, allow energy companies to better manage energy fluctuations and help customers decarbonize.

About
On October 14, NRG was honored to receive the 2021 Climate Leadership Award for Greenhouse Gas Management (Goal Setting Certificate). Awarded at the Climate Leadership Conference hosted by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) and The Climate Registry (TCR), NRG received the award in recognition of its climate targets, which earlier this year were validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) as 1.5 °C aligned — making it the first North American power company to receive this designation.
“The Climate Leadership Awards recognizes only those that aim high and have plans in place to achieve their goals. NRG has shown exactly that kind of foresight and set an example among its peers,” said Nathaniel Keohane, President of C2ES.
