In the past several years, NRG Energy has used acquisitions to diversify its business mix and geographical exposure. Once one of the largest power generators based mostly in Texas, NRG is now a nationwide retail energy and home-services company.
NRG generates enough free cash flow to stabilize the balance sheet while returning cash to shareholders after the LS Power and Rockland asset deals.
Environmental regulations and renewable energy growth could erode profitability at NRG's fossil fuel power plants.
