Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Other Balance Sheet Information The following table presents the accumulated depreciation included in property, plant and equipment, net and accumulated amortization included in intangible assets, net:
Credit Losses On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU No. 2016-13, using the modified retrospective approach. Following the adoption of the new standard, the Company’s process of estimating expected credit losses remains materially consistent with its historical practice. Retail trade receivables are reported on the balance sheet net of the allowance for credit losses. The Company accrues a provision for current expected credit losses based on (i) estimates of uncollectible revenues by analyzing accounts receivable aging and current and reasonable forecasts of expected economic factors including, but not limited to, unemployment rates and weather-related events, (ii) historical collections and delinquencies, and (iii) counterparty credit ratings for commercial and industrial customers. The following table represents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021:
The increase in the provision for credit losses during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the acquisition of Direct Energy. The increase in the provision for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the impacts of Winter Storm Uri on bilateral finance hedging risk of $403 million, counterparty credit risk of $120 million and ERCOT default shortfall payments of $83 million. Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and funds deposited by counterparties reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows:
Funds deposited by counterparties consist of cash held by the Company as a result of collateral posting obligations from its counterparties. Some amounts are segregated into separate accounts that are not contractually restricted but, based on the Company's intention, are not available for the payment of general corporate obligations. Depending on market fluctuations and the settlement of the underlying contracts, the Company will refund this collateral to the hedge counterparties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underlying trades. Since collateral requirements fluctuate daily and the Company cannot predict if any collateral will be held for more than twelve months, the funds deposited by counterparties are classified as a current asset on the Company's balance sheet, with an offsetting liability for this cash collateral received within current liabilities. Restricted cash consists primarily of funds held within the Company's projects that are restricted for specific uses. Recent Accounting Developments - Guidance Adopted in 2021 ASU 2019-12 — In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, or ASU No. 2019-12, to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The guidance in ASU 2019-12 amends the general principles in Topic 740 to eliminate certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investment, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. This ASU also includes guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2021 using the prospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or statement of financial position. Recent Accounting Developments - Guidance Not Yet Adopted ASU 2020-06 — In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), or ASU No. 2020-06. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves and amends the related earnings per share guidance. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Performance Obligations As of June 30, 2021, estimated future fixed fee performance obligations are $317 million for the remaining six months of fiscal year 2021, and $339 million, $88 million, $37 million and $20 million for the fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Certain performance obligations relate to the fossil generating assets that are planned for sale to Generation Bridge, as further described in Note 4, Acquisitions and Dispositions. These performance obligations are for cleared auction MWs in the PJM, ISO-NE, NYISO and MISO capacity auctions and are subject to penalties for non-performance. Disaggregated Revenues The following tables represent the Company’s disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
Contract Balances The following table reflects the contract assets and liabilities included in the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
(a) Deferred revenues from contracts with customers for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 were approximately $367 million and $31 million, respectively The revenue recognized from contracts with customers during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 relating to the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $23 million and $13 million, respectively. The revenue recognized from contracts with customers during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 relating to the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $98 million and $25 million, respectively. The change in deferred revenue balances during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was primarily due to bill credits owed to certain C&I customers, a portion of which is long-term, as a result of power pricing during Winter Storm Uri and the timing difference of when consideration was received and when the performance obligation was transferred.

Acquisitions and Dispositions | Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions Direct Energy Acquisition On January 5, 2021 (the "Acquisition Closing Date"), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Direct Energy, a North American subsidiary of Centrica. Direct Energy is a leading retail provider of electricity, natural gas, and home and business energy related products and services in North America, with operations in all 50 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces. The acquisition increased NRG's retail portfolio by over 3 million customers and strengthens its integrated model. It also broadens the Company's presence in the Northeast and into states and locales where it did not previously operate, supporting NRG's objective to diversify its business. The Company paid an aggregate purchase price of $3.625 billion in cash and an initial purchase price adjustment of $77 million. The Company funded the purchase price using a combination of $715 million of cash on hand, $166 million from a draw on its Revolving Credit Facility (of which $107 million was used to fund acquisition costs and financing fees that are not included in the aggregate purchase price above), as well as approximately $2.9 billion in secured and unsecured corporate debt issued in December 2020. The purchase price adjustment resulted in a reduction of $3 million, which is in negotiation with Centrica. The Company expects to receive this payment from Centrica in 2021. The Company also increased its collective liquidity and collateral facilities by $3.4 billion as of the Acquisition Closing Date to meet the additional liquidity requirements related to the acquisition, as detailed in the following table:
For further discussion see Note 9, Long-term Debt and Finance Leases, and also Note 13, Receivables Securitization and Repurchase Facility, to the Company's 2020 Form 10-K. Acquisition costs were $1 million and $23 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in acquisition-related transaction and integration costs in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. The acquisition has been recorded as a business combination under ASC 805 with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed provisionally recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The initial accounting for the business combination is not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair value of certain net assets acquired and the amount of goodwill to be recognized is still in process. The provisional amounts are subject to revision until the evaluations are completed to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Closing Date. The purchase price is provisionally allocated as follows:
(a) Goodwill arising from the acquisition is attributed to the value of the platform acquired and the synergies expected from combining the operations of Direct Energy with NRG's existing businesses. The allocation of goodwill to the Company's reportable segments is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2021. Goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $337 million Measurement Period Adjustments The following measurement period adjustments were recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2021:
The measurement period adjustments to the provisional amounts are attributable primarily to refinement of the underlying assumptions used to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as more information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Closing Date. Fair Value Measurement of Intangible Assets The provisional fair values of intangible assets as of the Acquisition Closing Date were measured primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 2 and Level 3 measurements. Significant inputs were as follows: Customer relationships — Customer relationships, reflective of Direct Energy’s customer base, were valued using an excess earning method of the income approach. Under this approach, the Company estimated the present value of expected future cash flows resulting from existing customer relationships, considering attrition and charges for contributory assets (such as net working capital, fixed assets, workforce and trade names) utilized in the business, discounted at an independent power producer peer group’s weighted average cost of capital. The customer relationships are amortized to depreciation and amortization. Customer and supply contracts — The fair value of in-market and out-of-market customer and supply contracts were estimated based on contractual terms compared to market prices as of the Acquisition Closing Date. The majority of the contracts were valued using prices provided by external sources, primarily price quotations available through broker or over-the-counter and online exchanges. For contracts for which external sources or observable market quotes were not available, these values were based on valuation techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of the observable market data with similar characteristics. In addition, the Company applied a credit reserve to reflect credit risk, which is calculated based on published default probabilities. The customer and supply contracts are amortized to revenue and cost of operations, respectively. Trade names — Trade names were valued using a "relief from royalty" method of the income approach. Under this approach, the fair value is estimated to be the present value of royalties saved because NRG owns the intangible asset and therefore does not have to pay a royalty for its use. The trade names are amortized to depreciation and amortization. Renewable energy credits — Renewable energy credits were valued based on the market prices as of the Acquisition Closing Date. Renewable energy credits are retired, as required, for the applicable compliance period. They are expensed to cost of operations based on customer usage. Fair Value Measurement of Derivative Assets and Liabilities The fair values of derivatives assets and liabilities as of the Acquisition Closing Date were as follows:
Refer to Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments to this Form 10-Q and Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments to the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for discussion on derivative fair value measurements. Supplemental Information For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 Direct Energy contributed revenue and income before income taxes as follows:
Pro forma comparative financial information for the Direct Energy acquisition has not been included for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, as the computation of such information is impracticable due to pre-acquisition financial statements for the reporting periods not being prepared in accordance with GAAP. Dispositions On February 28, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement with Generation Bridge, an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners, to sell approximately 4,850 MW of fossil generating assets from its East and West regions of operations for total proceeds of $760 million, subject to standard purchase price adjustments and certain other indemnifications. The purchase price adjustments will include a working capital deduction for cash flows generated of approximately $11 million per month from the beginning of the year until the closing of the transaction, in lieu of cash flows generated during the year. As part of the transaction, NRG is entering into a tolling agreement for its 866 MW Arthur Kill plant in New York City through April 2025. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2021 and is subject to various closing conditions, approvals and consents, including FERC and NYPSC. The transaction received approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. As of June 30, 2021, the following is classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet:
(a) Property, plant and equipment, net for the East and West/Services/Other segments was $240 million and $150 million, respectively. The remaining assets and liabilities were primarily in the East segment (b) Included in prepayments and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (c) Included in other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (d) Included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (e) Included in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet On February 3, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of its 35% ownership in the Agua Caliente solar project to Clearway Energy, Inc. for $202 million. NRG recognized a gain on the sale of $17 million, including cash disposed of $7 million. The Company completed other asset sales for cash proceeds of $3 million and $15 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments For cash and cash equivalents, funds deposited by counterparties, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable, and cash collateral paid and received in support of energy risk management activities, the carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of those instruments and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The estimated carrying amounts and fair values of NRG's recorded financial instruments not carried at fair market value are as follows:
(a) Excludes deferred financing costs, which are recorded as a reduction to long-term debt in the Company's consolidated balance sheets The fair value of the Company's publicly-traded long-term debt is based on quoted market prices and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the borrowing under the Repurchase Facility approximates the carrying value because the interest rates vary with market interest rates, and is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of certain notes receivable of the Company is based on expected future cash flows discounted at market interest rate and is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the level within the fair value hierarchy for long-term debt, including current portion, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
Recurring Fair Value Measurements Debt securities, equity securities, and trust fund investments, which are comprised of various U.S. debt and equity securities, and derivative assets and liabilities, are carried at fair market value. The following tables present assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy:
The following table reconciles, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the beginning and ending balances for financial instruments that are recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements, using significant unobservable inputs:
(a)Consists of derivative assets and liabilities, net (b)Transfers into/out of Level 3 are related to the availability of external broker quotes and are valued as of the end of the reporting period. All transfers in/out are with Level 2
(a)Consists of derivative assets and liabilities, net (b)Transfers into/out of Level 3 are related to the availability of external broker quotes and are valued as of the end of the reporting period. All transfers in/out are with Level 2 Derivative Fair Value Measurements A portion of NRG's contracts are exchange-traded contracts with readily available quoted market prices. A majority of NRG's contracts are non-exchange-traded contracts valued using prices provided by external sources, primarily price quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter and on-line exchanges. The remainder of the assets and liabilities represent contracts for which external sources or observable market quotes are not available. These contracts are valued based on various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of the observable market data with similar characteristics. As of June 30, 2021, contracts valued with prices provided by models and other valuation techniques make up 16% of derivative assets and 9% of derivative liabilities. NRG's significant positions classified as Level 3 include physical and financial natural gas and power contracts executed in illiquid markets, as well as FTRs. The significant unobservable inputs used in developing fair value include illiquid natural gas and power location pricing, which is derived as a basis to liquid locations. The basis spread is based on observable market data when available or derived from historic prices and forward market prices from similar observable markets when not available. For FTRs, NRG uses the most recent auction prices to derive the fair value. The following tables quantify the significant unobservable inputs used in developing the fair value of the Company's Level 3 positions as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
The following table provides sensitivity of fair value measurements to increases/(decreases) in significant unobservable inputs as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
The fair value of each contract is discounted using a risk-free interest rate. In addition, the Company applies a credit reserve to reflect credit risk, which is calculated based on published default probabilities. As of June 30, 2021, the credit reserve resulted in a $7 million decrease primarily within cost of operations. As of December 31, 2020, the credit reserve resulted in a $2 million increase primarily within cost of operations. Concentration of Credit Risk In addition to the credit risk discussion as disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Company's 2020 Form 10-K, the following is a discussion of the concentration of credit risk for the Company's contractual obligations. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. NRG is exposed to counterparty credit risk through various activities including wholesale sales, fuel purchases and retail supply arrangements, as well as retail customer credit risk through its retail load activities. Counterparty Credit Risk The Company's counterparty credit risk policies are disclosed in its 2020 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2021, counterparty credit exposure, excluding credit exposure from RTOs, ISOs, registered commodity exchanges and certain long-term agreements, was $1.8 billion and NRG held collateral (cash and letters of credit) against those positions of $483 million, resulting in a net exposure of $1.4 billion. NRG periodically receives collateral from counterparties in excess of their exposure. Collateral amounts shown include such excess while net exposure shown excludes excess collateral received. Approximately 50% of the Company's exposure before collateral is expected to roll off by the end of 2022. Counterparty credit exposure is valued through observable market quotes and discounted at a risk free interest rate. The following tables highlight net counterparty credit exposure by industry sector and by counterparty credit quality. Net counterparty credit exposure is defined as the aggregate net asset position for NRG with counterparties where netting is permitted under the enabling agreement and includes all cash flow, mark-to-market and NPNS, and non-derivative transactions. The exposure is shown net of collateral held and includes amounts net of receivables or payables.
(a)Counterparty credit exposure excludes uranium and coal transportation contracts because of the unavailability of market prices (b)The figures in the tables above exclude potential counterparty credit exposure related to RTOs, ISOs, registered commodity exchanges and certain long-term contracts The Company currently has no exposure to wholesale counterparties in excess of 10% of total net exposure discussed above as of June 30, 2021. Changes in hedge positions and market prices will affect credit exposure and counterparty concentration. During Winter Storm Uri, the Company experienced nonperformance by a counterparty in one of its bilateral financial hedging transactions, resulting in exposure of $403 million. The Company is pursuing all means available to enforce its rights under this transaction but, given the size of the exposure, cannot determine with certainty what the amount of its ultimate recovery will be. The full exposure was recorded as a provision for credit losses as of June 30, 2021. RTOs and ISOs The Company participates in the organized markets of CAISO, ERCOT, AESO, IESO, ISO-NE, MISO, NYISO and PJM, known as RTOs or ISOs. Trading in the majority of these markets is approved by FERC, whereas in the case of ERCOT, it is approved by the PUCT, and whereas in the case of AESO and IESO, both exist provincially with AESO primarily subject to Alberta Utilities Commission and the IESO to the Ontario Energy Board. These ISOs may include credit policies that, under certain circumstances, require that losses arising from the default of one member on spot market transactions be shared by the remaining participants. As a result, the counterparty credit risk to these markets is limited to NRG’s share of the overall market and are excluded from the above exposures. Exchange Traded Transactions The Company enters into commodity transactions on registered exchanges, notably ICE, NYMEX and Nodal. These clearinghouses act as the counterparty and transactions are subject to extensive collateral and margining requirements. As a result, these commodity transactions have limited counterparty credit risk. Long-Term Contracts Counterparty credit exposure described above excludes credit risk exposure under certain long-term contracts, primarily solar PPAs. As external sources or observable market quotes are not always available to estimate such exposure, the Company values these contracts based on various techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of observable market data with similar characteristics. Based on these valuation techniques, as of June 30, 2021, aggregate credit risk exposure managed by NRG to these counterparties was approximately $1.3 billion for the next five years. Retail Customer Credit Risk The Company is exposed to retail credit risk through the Company's retail electricity and gas providers, which serve Home and Business customers. Retail credit risk results in losses when a customer fails to pay for services rendered. The losses may result from both non-payment of customer accounts receivable and the loss of in-the-money forward value. The Company manages retail credit risk through the use of established credit policies that include monitoring of the portfolio and the use of credit mitigation measures such as deposits or prepayment arrangements. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's retail customer credit exposure to Home and Business customers was diversified across many customers and various industries, as well as government entities. As a result of Winter Storm Uri, the Company incurred additional credit losses from Business customers primarily due to a segment of customers whose contracts included a pass through of wholesale power prices which were significantly escalated during the storm and from customers who failed to meet their obligations in ERCOT load curtailment programs.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund | Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund NRG's Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund assets, which are for the decommissioning of its 44% interest in STP, are comprised of securities classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based on actively quoted market prices. NRG accounts for the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund in accordance with ASC 980, Regulated Operations, because the Company's nuclear decommissioning activities are subject to approval by the PUCT with regulated rates that are designed to recover all decommissioning costs and that can be charged to and collected from the ratepayers per PUCT mandate. Since the Company is in compliance with PUCT rules and regulations regarding decommissioning trusts and the cost of decommissioning is the responsibility of the Texas ratepayers, not NRG, all realized and unrealized gains or losses (including other-than-temporary impairments) related to the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund are recorded to the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust liability and are not included in net income or accumulated OCI, consistent with regulatory treatment. The following table summarizes the aggregate fair values and unrealized gains and losses for the securities held in the trust funds, as well as information about the contractual maturities of those securities.
The following table summarizes proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities held in the trust funds and the related realized gains and losses from these sales. The cost of securities sold is determined on the specific identification method.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Energy-Related Commodities As of June 30, 2021, NRG had energy-related derivative instruments extending through 2036. The Company marks these derivatives to market through the statement of operations. NRG has executed power purchase agreements extending through 2037 that qualified for the NPNS exception and were therefore exempt from fair value accounting treatment. Foreign Exchange Contracts NRG is exposed to changes in foreign currency associated with the purchase of USD denominated natural gas for its Canadian business. In order to manage the Company's foreign exchange risk, NRG entered into foreign exchange contracts. As of June 30, 2021, NRG had foreign exchange contracts extending through 2023. The Company marks these derivatives to market through the statement of operations. Volumetric Underlying Derivative Transactions The following table summarizes the net notional volume buy/(sell) of NRG's open derivative transactions broken out by category, excluding those derivatives that qualified for the NPNS exception, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Option contracts are reflected using delta volume. Delta volume equals the notional volume of an option adjusted for the probability that the option will be in-the-money at its expiration date.
The increase in positions was primarily the result of the Direct Energy acquisition. Fair Value of Derivative Instruments The following table summarizes the fair value within the derivative instrument valuation on the balance sheets:
The Company has elected to present derivative assets and liabilities on the balance sheet on a trade-by-trade basis and does not offset amounts at the counterparty master agreement level. In addition, collateral received or paid on the Company's derivative assets or liabilities are recorded on a separate line item on the balance sheet. The following table summarizes the offsetting of derivatives by counterparty master agreement level and collateral received or paid:
Impact of Derivative Instruments on the Statements of Operations Unrealized gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not accounted for as cash flow and fair value hedges are reflected in current period results of operations. The following table summarizes the pre-tax effects of economic hedges that have not been designated as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges and trading activity on the Company's statement of operations. The effect of foreign exchange and commodity hedges are included within operating revenues and cost of operations.
The reversals of acquired loss positions were valued based upon the forward prices on the acquisition date. The roll-off amounts were offset by realized gains or losses at the settled prices and are reflected in operating revenue or cost of operations during the same period. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the $2.0 billion unrealized gain from open economic hedge positions was primarily the result of an increase in value of forward positions due to increases in natural gas and power prices. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the $88 million unrealized gain from open economic hedge positions was primarily the result of an increase in value of forward positions as a result of increases in outer year ERCOT power prices and decreases in New York capacity, New York power, and West/Other power prices. Credit Risk Related Contingent Features Certain of the Company's hedging and trading agreements contain provisions that entitle the counterparty to demand that the Company post additional collateral if the counterparty determines that there has been deterioration in the Company's credit quality, generally termed “adequate assurance” under the agreements, or require the Company to post additional collateral if there were a downgrade in the Company's credit rating. In addition, as a result of the acquisition of Direct Energy from Centrica, certain of the Company’s agreements as of June 30, 2021, were still supported by credit support posted by Centrica, and as a result could require the Company to post collateral upon a deterioration or downgrade of Centrica. The collateral potentially required for all contracts with adequate assurance clauses that are in a net liability position as of June 30, 2021 was $745 million. The Company is also party to certain marginable agreements under which it has net liability position, but the counterparty has not called for the collateral due, which was $66 million as of June 30, 2021. In the event of a downgrade in the Company's credit rating and if called for by the counterparty, $18 million of additional collateral would be required for all contracts with credit rating contingent features as of June 30, 2021. See Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for discussion regarding concentration of credit risk.

Impairments | Impairments 2021 Impairment Losses PJM Asset Impairments — During the second quarter of 2021, the results of the PJM Base Residual Auction for the 2022/2023 delivery year were released leading the Company to announce the near-term retirement of a significant portion of its PJM coal generating assets in June 2022. The Company considered the decline in PJM capacity prices and the near-term retirement dates of certain assets to be a trigger for impairment and performed impairment tests on the PJM generating assets and the goodwill associated with Midwest Generation. The Company measured the impairment losses on the PJM generation assets and Midwest Generation goodwill as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the PJM generating assets and Midwest Generation reporting unit, respectively. Fair values were determined using an income approach in which the Company applied a discounted cash flow methodology to the long-term budgets for the plants and reporting unit. Significant inputs impacting the income approach include the Company's long-term view of capacity and fuel prices, projected generation, the physical and economic characteristics of each plant, and the discount rate applied to the after-tax cash flow projections. Impairment losses of $271 million and $35 million were recorded in the East segment on the PJM generating assets and Midwest Generation goodwill, respectively. 2020 Impairment Losses Petra Nova Parish Holdings — During the first quarter of 2020, due to the decline in oil prices, NRG determined that the carrying amount of the Company’s equity method investment exceeded the fair value of the investment and that the decline was considered to be other-than-temporary. In determining the fair value, the Company utilized an income approach to estimate future project cash flows. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $18 million in the Texas segment, which included the anticipated drawdown of the $12 million letter of credit posted in September 2019 to cover certain project debt reserve requirements.

Long-term Debt and Finance Leases | Long-term Debt and Finance Leases Long-term debt and finance leases consisted of the following:
(a)As of the ex-dividend date of July 30, 2021, the Convertible Senior Notes were convertible at a price of $45.22, which is equivalent to a conversion rate of approximately 22.12 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount Recourse Debt Revolving Credit Facility During the third quarter of 2020, the Company amended its existing credit agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the existing revolving commitments in an aggregate amount of $802 million, and (ii) provide for a new tranche of revolving commitments in an aggregate amount of $273 million with a maturity date of July 5, 2023. The maturity date of the new revolving tranche of commitments may, upon request by the Company, and at the option of each applicable lender under the new tranche be extended to May 28, 2024, which is the maturity date of the existing and increased commitments. Other than with respect to the maturity date, the terms of all revolving commitments and loans made pursuant thereto are identical. The increase in the existing commitments, and the commitments with respect to the new tranche were effective on August 20, 2020 and became available on January 5, 2021 upon the closing of the Direct Energy Acquisition. As of June 30, 2021, total revolving commitments available, subject to usage, under the amended credit agreement was $3.7 billion. Receivables Securitization Facilities On July 26, 2021, NRG Receivables LLC, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into the First Amendment to its accounts receivable securitized borrowing facility dated September 22, 2020 with a group of conduit lenders and banks and Royal Bank of Canada, as Administrative Agent (as amended, the “Receivables Facility”) to, among other things, (i) increase the existing revolving commitments by $50 million to an aggregate amount of $800 million, (ii) extend the maturity date until July 26, 2022, (iii) make certain adjustments to the pool of receivables through the Receivables Facility and certain related covenants and (iv) provide for revised language relating to interest determination based on SOFR in case of a LIBOR cessation or the occurrence of certain other trigger events. As of June 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings and there were $214 million in letters of credit issued under the Receivables Facility. On July 26, 2021, the Company renewed its existing Repurchase Facility to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date to July 26, 2022 and (ii) provide for revised language relating to interest determination based on SOFR in case of a LIBOR cessation or the occurrence of certain other trigger events. As of June 30, 2021, the full $75 million borrowing was outstanding under the Repurchase Facility, which was fully repaid as of August 5, 2021. Non-Recourse Debt Put Option Agreement for Senior Debt Issuance As further discussed in Part IV, Item 15, Note 14, Long-term Debt and Finance Leases of the Company's 2020 Form 10-K, the Company entered into a Put Option Agreement for Senior Debt Issuances (the “P-Caps”). In connection with the issuance of the P-Caps, on December 11, 2020, NRG entered into an amended and restated facility agreement for the issuance of letters of credit (the “LC Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) and administrative agent pursuant to which certain financial institutions (the “LC Issuers”) have agreed to provide letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $874 million to support the operations of NRG and its subsidiaries and minority investments, including to replace certain letters of credit and other credit support issued for the account of entities acquired pursuant to the Direct Energy Acquisition. In addition, on December 11, 2020, the Trust entered into an amended and restated pledge and control agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), among NRG, the Trust and the Collateral Agent for the LC Issuers, under which the Trust agreed to grant a pledge over the Eligible Treasury Assets in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the LC Issuers. Pursuant to the LC Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent is entitled to withdraw Eligible Treasury Assets from the Trust’s pledged account, following notice to NRG, in the event NRG has failed to reimburse amounts drawn under any letter of credit issued pursuant to the LC Agreement, and the LC Issuers have the right to instruct the Collateral Agent to enforce the pledge over the Eligible Treasury Assets upon the occurrence of any event of default under the LC Agreement (a “Collateral Enforcement Event”). The LC Agreement and the Pledge Agreement were available on January 5, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, $824 million of letters of credit were issued under the LC Agreement.

Income Per Share | Income Per Share Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Shares issued and treasury shares repurchased during the year are weighted for the portion of the year that they were outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic income per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. The outstanding relative performance stock units, non-vested restricted stock units, market stock units, and non-qualified stock options are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic income per share. However, these instruments are included in the denominator for purposes of computing diluted income per share under the treasury stock method. The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible, under certain circumstances, into the Company’s common stock, cash or combination thereof (at NRG's option). There is no dilutive effect for the Convertible Senior Notes due to the Company’s expectation to settle the liability in cash. The reconciliation of NRG's basic and diluted income per share is shown in the following table:

Income Taxes | Income Taxes Effective Income Tax Rate The income tax provision consisted of the following:
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense partially offset by one-time tax benefits, as a result of the acquisition of Direct Energy, on the revaluation of state deferred tax assets, NOLs and valuation allowance. For the same periods in 2020, the effective tax rates were higher than the statutory rate of 21% due to state tax expense partially offset by an excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation. Uncertain Tax Benefits As of June 30, 2021, NRG had a non-current tax liability of $19 million for uncertain tax benefits from positions taken on various federal and state income tax returns and accrued interest. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, NRG accrued an immaterial amount of interest relating to the uncertain tax benefits. As of June 30, 2021, NRG had cumulative interest and penalties related to these uncertain tax benefits of $1 million. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. NRG is subject to examination by taxing authorities for income tax returns filed in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions including operations located in Australia and Canada. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2017. With few exceptions, state and local income tax examinations are no longer open for years prior to 2012.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company disclosed its commitments in Note 24, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Company's 2020 Form 10-K. NRG completed the acquisition of Direct Energy on January 5, 2021 and assumed additional purchased energy commitments as detailed below. Purchased Energy Commitments NRG assumed additional long-term contractual commitments related to electricity and natural gas products, including power purchases, gas transportation and storage. The Company's minimum commitments under such outstanding agreements as of the Acquisition Closing Date are estimated as follows:
First Lien Structure NRG has granted first liens to certain counterparties on a substantial portion of property and assets owned by NRG and the guarantors of its senior debt. NRG uses the first lien structure to reduce the amount of cash collateral and letters of credit that it would otherwise be required to post from time to time to support its obligations under out-of-the-money hedges. To the extent that the underlying hedge positions for a counterparty are out-of-the-money to NRG, the counterparty may have a claim under the first lien program. As of June 30, 2021, all hedges under the first lien program were out-of-the-money for NRG on a counterparty aggregate basis. Contingencies The Company's material legal proceedings are described below. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to these legal proceedings and intends to defend them vigorously. NRG records accruals for estimated losses from contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. As applicable, the Company has established an adequate accrual for the applicable legal matters, including regulatory and environmental matters as further discussed in Note 17, Regulatory Matters, and Note 18, Environmental Matters. In addition, legal costs are expensed as incurred. Management has assessed each of the following matters based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, considering the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought, and the probability of success. Unless specified below, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or reasonably estimate the scope or amount of any associated costs and potential liabilities. As additional information becomes available, management adjusts its assessment and estimates of such contingencies accordingly. Because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of the Company's liabilities and contingencies could be at amounts that are different from their currently recorded accruals and that such differences could be material. In addition to the legal proceedings noted below, NRG and its subsidiaries are party to other litigation or legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion, the disposition of these ordinary course matters will not materially adversely affect NRG's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Environmental Lawsuits Sierra club et al. v. Midwest Generation LLC — In 2012, several environmental groups filed a complaint against Midwest Generation with the Illinois Pollution Control Board ("IPCB") alleging violations of environmental law resulting in groundwater contamination. In June 2019, the IPCB found that Midwest Generation violated the law because it had improperly handled coal ash at four facilities in Illinois and caused or allowed coal ash constituents to impact groundwater. On September 9, 2019, Midwest Generation filed a Motion to Reconsider numerous issues, which the court granted in part and denied in part on February 6, 2020. The IPCB will hold hearings to determine the appropriate relief. Midwest Generation has been working with the Illinois EPA to address the groundwater issues since 2010. Consumer Lawsuits Similar to other energy service companies (“ESCOs”) operating in the industry, from time-to-time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may be subject to consumer lawsuits in various jurisdictions where they sell natural gas and electricity. Variable Price Cases — In the cases set forth below, referred to as the Variable Price Cases, such actions involve consumers alleging that one of the Company’s ESCOs promised that consumers would pay the same or less than they would have paid if they stayed with their default utility or previous energy supplier. The underlying claims of each case are similar and the Company continues to deny the allegations and is vigorously defending these matters. These matters were known and accrued for at the time of each acquisition. XOOM Energy XOOM Energy is a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit pending in New York. This case is in the discovery phase. Direct Energy There are four putative class actions pending against Direct Energy: (1) Linda Stanley v. Direct Energy (S.D.N.Y Apr. 2019) - The parties mediated in June and agreed on a settlement. Once the settlement is drafted and signed, it will be submitted to the Court for approval; (2) Martin Forte v. Direct Energy (N.D.N.Y. Mar. 2017) - Direct Energy’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Plaintiff’s Class Certification are fully briefed and awaiting a ruling; (3) Richard Schafer v. Direct Energy (W.D.N.Y. Dec. 2019; on appeal 2nd Cir. N.Y.) - The trial court dismissed this action. Plaintiff appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments took place in April 2021. Subsequently, the Second Circuit issued a summary opinion vacating the district court's dismissal of the case. The matter was remanded back to the district court; and (4) Julie and Richard Lane v. Direct Energy (S.D.Ill. Jun. 2019) - Plaintiff has amended her Complaint in response to the Court dismissing all claims except a claim under the Illinois Consumer Protection Act. Direct Energy’s Motion to Dismiss was granted by the Court on April 26, 2021. The time to appeal this determination has passed. Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") Cases — In the cases set forth below, referred to as the TCPA Cases, such actions involve consumers alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended, by receiving calls, texts or voicemails without consent in violation of the federal Telemarketing Sales Rule, and/or state counterpart legislation. The underlying claims of each case are similar. The Company continues to deny the allegations asserted by plaintiffs and intends to vigorously defend these matters. These matters were known and accrued for at the time of the acquisition. There are two putative class actions pending against Direct Energy: (1) Brittany Burk v. Direct Energy (S.D. Tex. Feb. 2019) - Written discovery is complete, and fact and expert discovery is ongoing. The briefing on Direct Energy’s Motion to Dismiss and Plaintiff’s Class Certification is complete; and (2) Matthew Dickson v. Direct Energy (N.D.Ohio Jan. 2018) - Direct Energy has filed a Third-Party Petition against its vendor, Total Marketing Concepts, LLC, who placed voicemails without consent from Direct Energy and in violation of the parties’ agreement. This case is stayed pending the outcome of a Second Circuit appeal of the American Association of Political Consultants ("AAPC") issue. In each case, Direct Energy has filed a Motion to Dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction based on the Supreme Court’s 2020 AAPC decision invalidating the TCPA provision asserted in each case. Winter Storm Uri Lawsuits The Company has been named in certain property damage and wrongful death claims that have been filed in connection with Winter Storm Uri. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the extent or impact of these various litigation matters due to their preliminary nature. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters. Indemnifications and Other Contractual Arrangements Washington-St. Tammany and Claiborne Electric Cooperative v. LaGen — On June 28, 2017, plaintiffs Washington-St. Tammany Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Claiborne Electric Cooperative, Inc. filed a lawsuit against LaGen in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. The plaintiffs claimed breach of contract against LaGen for allegedly improperly charging the plaintiffs for costs related to the installation and maintenance of certain pollution control technology. Plaintiffs sought damages for the alleged improper charges and a declaration as to which charges were proper under the contract. In February 2020, the court dismissed this lawsuit without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On March 17, 2020, plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge in Louisiana alleging substantially the same matters. On February 4, 2019, NRG sold the South Central Portfolio, including the entities subject to this litigation. However, NRG has agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain losses suffered in connection therewith.

Regulatory Matters Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Regulatory Matters | Regulatory Matters Environmental regulatory matters are discussed within Note 18, Environmental Matters. NRG operates in a highly regulated industry and is subject to regulation by various federal, state and provincial agencies. As such, NRG is affected by regulatory developments at the federal, state and provincial levels and in the regions in which NRG operates. In addition, NRG is subject to the market rules, procedures, and protocols of the various ISO and RTO markets in which NRG participates. These power markets are subject to ongoing legislative and regulatory changes that may impact NRG's wholesale and retail operations. In addition to the regulatory proceedings noted below, NRG and its subsidiaries are parties to other regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or have other regulatory exposure. In management's opinion, the disposition of these ordinary course matters will not materially adversely affect NRG's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. California Station Power — As the result of unfavorable final and non-appealable litigation, the Company accrued a liability associated with consumption of station power at the Company's Encina power plant facility in California after August 30, 2010. The Company has established an appropriate accrual pending potential regulatory action by San Diego Gas & Electric regarding the Company's Encina facility. South Central — On August 4, 2016, NRG received a document hold notice from FERC regarding conduct in the MISO and PJM markets. FERC Office of Enforcement Staff investigated potential violations of MISO rules involving bidding for the Big Cajun 2 facility, as well as other aspects of NRG’s operations in MISO. On August 18, 2020, FERC Office of Enforcement presented NRG with its preliminary findings. NRG responded to the preliminary findings on January 15, 2021. FERC has the authority to require disgorgement of profits and to impose penalties and NRG retains any liability following the sale of the South Central Portfolio.

Environmental Matters Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Environmental Matters | Environmental Matters NRG is subject to a wide range of environmental laws in the development, construction, ownership and operation of power plants. These laws generally require that governmental permits and approvals be obtained before construction and maintained during operation of power plants. The electric generation industry has been facing increasingly stringent requirements regarding air quality, GHG emissions, combustion byproducts, water discharge and use, and threatened and endangered species. In general, future laws are expected to require the addition of emissions controls or other environmental controls or to impose additional restrictions on the operations of the Company's facilities, which could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has elected to use a $1 million disclosure threshold, as permitted, for environmental proceedings to which the government is a party. Air On July 8, 2019, the EPA promulgated the ACE rule, which rescinded the CPP, which had sought to broadly regulate CO2 emissions from the power sector. The ACE rule requires states that have coal-fired EGUs to develop plans to seek heat rate improvements from coal-fired EGUs. On January 19, 2021, the D.C. Circuit vacated the ACE rule (but on February 22, 2021, at the EPA's request, stayed the issuance of the portion of the mandate that would vacate the repeal of the CPP). Accordingly, we expect the EPA to promulgate a new rule to regulate GHG emissions from power plants. Water Effluent Limitations Guidelines — In November 2015, the EPA revised the Effluent Limitations Guidelines ("ELG") for Steam Electric Generating Facilities, which imposed more stringent requirements (as individual permits were renewed) for wastewater streams from FGD, fly ash, bottom ash, and flue gas mercury control. On September 18, 2017, the EPA promulgated a final rule that, among other things, postponed the compliance dates to preserve the status quo for FGD wastewater and bottom ash transport water by two years to November 2020 until the EPA amended the rule. On October 13, 2020, the EPA amended the 2015 ELG rule by: (i) altering the stringency of certain limits for FGD wastewater; (ii) relaxing the zero-discharge requirement for bottom ash transport water; and (iii) changing several deadlines. The Company is in the process of estimating the environmental capital expenditures that will be required to comply. The capital expenditures required to comply will depend on elections regarding future operations of each coal-fired unit. NRG expects to make these elections for each unit in the fourth quarter of 2021, at which time the EPA will be notified as required. Accordingly, we do not expect to provide estimates of ELG compliance costs until early 2022. On July 26, 2021, the EPA announced that it is initiating a new rulemaking to evaluate revising the ELG rule. While the EPA is developing the new rule, the existing rule (as amended in 2020) will stay in place, and the EPA expects permitting authorities to continue to implement the current regulation. The EPA anticipates releasing a proposed rule in fall 2022. Byproducts, Wastes, Hazardous Materials and Contamination In April 2015, the EPA finalized the rule regulating byproducts of coal combustion (e.g., ash and gypsum) as solid wastes under the RCRA. In September 2017, the EPA agreed to reconsider the rule. On July 30, 2018, the EPA promulgated a rule that amends the existing ash rule by extending some of the deadlines and providing more flexibility for compliance. On August 21, 2018, the D.C. Circuit found, among other things, that the EPA had not adequately regulated unlined ponds and legacy ponds. In 2019 and 2020, the EPA proposed several changes to this rule. On August 28, 2020, the EPA finalized "A Holistic Approach to Close Part A: Deadline to Initiate Closure," which amended the April 2015 Rule to address the August 2018 D.C. Circuit decision and extend some of the deadlines. On November 12, 2020, the EPA finalized "A Holistic Approach to Closure Part B," which further amended the April 2015 Rule to, among other things, provide procedures for requesting approval to operate existing impoundments with an alternative liner. The Company has updated its estimates of required environmental capital expenditures.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Reclassifications | ReclassificationsCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. The reclassifications did not affect consolidated results from operations, net assets or consolidated cash flows |
Credit Losses | Credit Losses On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU No. 2016-13, using the modified retrospective approach. Following the adoption of the new standard, the Company’s process of estimating expected credit losses remains materially consistent with its historical practice. Retail trade receivables are reported on the balance sheet net of the allowance for credit losses. The Company accrues a provision for current expected credit losses based on (i) estimates of uncollectible revenues by analyzing accounts receivable aging and current and reasonable forecasts of expected economic factors including, but not limited to, unemployment rates and weather-related events, (ii) historical collections and delinquencies, and (iii) counterparty credit ratings for commercial and industrial customers.
|
Restricted Cash | Funds deposited by counterparties consist of cash held by the Company as a result of collateral posting obligations from its counterparties. Some amounts are segregated into separate accounts that are not contractually restricted but, based on the Company's intention, are not available for the payment of general corporate obligations. Depending on market fluctuations and the settlement of the underlying contracts, the Company will refund this collateral to the hedge counterparties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underlying trades. Since collateral requirements fluctuate daily and the Company cannot predict if any collateral will be held for more than twelve months, the funds deposited by counterparties are classified as a current asset on the Company's balance sheet, with an offsetting liability for this cash collateral received within current liabilities.Restricted cash consists primarily of funds held within the Company's projects that are restricted for specific uses. |
Recent Accounting Developments | Recent Accounting Developments - Guidance Adopted in 2021 ASU 2019-12 — In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, or ASU No. 2019-12, to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The guidance in ASU 2019-12 amends the general principles in Topic 740 to eliminate certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investment, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. This ASU also includes guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2021 using the prospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or statement of financial position. Recent Accounting Developments - Guidance Not Yet Adopted ASU 2020-06 — In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), or ASU No. 2020-06. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves and amends the related earnings per share guidance. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Nuclear Decommissioning | NRG's Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund assets, which are for the decommissioning of its 44% interest in STP, are comprised of securities classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based on actively quoted market prices. NRG accounts for the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund in accordance with ASC 980, Regulated Operations, because the Company's nuclear decommissioning activities are subject to approval by the PUCT with regulated rates that are designed to recover all decommissioning costs and that can be charged to and collected from the ratepayers per PUCT mandate. Since the Company is in compliance with PUCT rules and regulations regarding decommissioning trusts and the cost of decommissioning is the responsibility of the Texas ratepayers, not NRG, all realized and unrealized gains or losses (including other-than-temporary impairments) related to the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund are recorded to the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust liability and are not included in net income or accumulated OCI, consistent with regulatory treatment. |
Segment Reporting | NRG’s chief operating decision maker, its chief executive officer, evaluates the performance of its segments based on operational measures including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and allocation of capital, as well as net income/(loss). |
