For decades, power companies were seen as dull entities providing a necessary service. NRG Energy is changing that by integrating smart solutions into its offerings, emphasizing the importance of personal and intelligent energy use. The company’s acquisition of Vivint Smart Home has allowed it to create a virtual power plant (VPP) that combines various energy resources into a cohesive system, benefiting both consumers and the grid itself.
Through AI-enhanced solutions, NRG is transforming how technology operates within the company. It has embraced a product operating model that aligns business and technology teams, fostering collaboration and faster deployment of innovative home energy solutions. As demand for energy continues to surge due to factors like AI data centers, NRG’s VPP strategy aims to manage this demand while also investing in traditional generation methods for reliability. Overall, NRG exemplifies how legacy industries can reinvent themselves by focusing on customer experiences and leveraging technology for practical solutions.
