What was once an active coal mine is now helping feed thousands of East Texas families. Since 2022, the NRG Dewey Prairie Garden has harvested more than five tons of fruits and vegetables and donated it to local food banks, helping support communities where access to fresh food can be limited. Powered by volunteers and made possible through our partnership with Texan by Nature, the garden is an example of how reclaimed land can continue serving the community for generations.

What does it take to bring power to life? Last week, we celebrated the completion of new generation at TH Wharton Generating Station—an investment that adds 456 MW of fast-response power to the Texas grid and helps strengthen reliability when Texans need it most. But the story is about more than megawatts. It's about the hundreds of employees, contractors, engineers, operators, and partners whose expertise and dedication made it possible. Read more about the project, its impact on Texas reliability, and the people who made it happen: https://bit.ly/4bhUMtY

Today, we celebrated the ribbon cutting at TH Wharton Generating Station, adding 456 MW of new generation to the ERCOT grid. This achievement reflects years of dedication from NRG employees, contractors, partners, community leaders, and public officials who worked together to safely deliver this project as ERCOT experiences record-breaking demand and Texas temperatures reach triple digits. By combining investment, execution, and public-private partnerships, we're providing reliable and affordable power to help meet Texas' growing energy needs. We're grateful to the people bringing power to life—today at TH Wharton and across Texas.
