In the past several years, NRG Energy has used acquisitions to diversify its business mix and geographical exposure so that it is now one of the largest nationwide power generators, retail energy suppliers, and home-services companies.
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.
