NRG Reports Organic Customer Growth During Q2, Increased Power Margins
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
In reporting earnings for the quarter ending June 30, 2023 (second quarter), NRG reported 100k organic customer growth in Q2
NRG's reported 7.5 million retail customers as of June 30, 2023. In a presentation, NRG did not specifically identify this metric as reflecting its "Home" customer count as it typically does. NRG had ended the first quarter of 2023 with 7.4 million Home Customers
NRG reported 2Q23 retail volumes as follows:
NRG reported Adjusted EBITDA of $819 million for the second quarter of 2023, up from $386 million a year ago. Margin Expansion accounted for $186 million of the increase in Adjusted EBITDA, with Vivint EBITDA contributing $217 million to the increase
In the Texas segment, second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $504 million, $241 million higher than the second quarter of 2022. "This increase
was primarily driven by lower retail supply costs, including the impact of lower power pricing, the diversified supply strategy,
and improved plant performance coupled with the 2022 impact of the W.A. Parish Unit 8 extended outage. This increase was
partially offset by a decrease in retail load and higher operating costs due to an increase in planned outages in the second
quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022," NRG said
"In May 2022, W.A. Parish Unit 8 came offline as a result of damage to the steam turbine/generator. Based on work completed
to date, the Company expects to return the unit to service in late August 2023. NRG expects lost revenues and expenditures
incurred in 2023 to be offset by insurance recoveries," NRG said
In the East segment, second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $77 million, $9 million higher than the second quarter of 2022. This increase was
primarily driven by increased retail power margins, partially offset by asset retirements and lower retail natural gas margins, NRG said
In the Vivint Smart Home segment, Adjusted EBITDA was $217 million in the second quarter of 2023.
In disclosing its capital allocation strategy, NRG did not report a change in the amount of capital allocated to small book acquisitions, versus the first quarter of 2023, with $25 million allocated to small book acquisitions (see background here)
NRG reported that a Vivint Home Protection Plan launched April
2023, with 120k plans sold as of August 1.

qualified leads; improved with DIY system to
~10%."
