01 Are you ready for some innovation? 8 NFL Franchises, 8 Energy Game Plans Solar power is the power behind the most valuable football franchises in America where we ve put innovative solutions in place that harness the sun in clean, renewable ways. And we ve done it quickly. At FedExField in Washington, for example, it took just 90 days from agreement to a fully-operating solar solution. Here, 8,000 solar panels provide two megawatts of power at peak capacity, while also providing coverage for 841 parking spaces. Plus, a 30-foot sculpture of a football player placed in the entry plaza to symbolize the team s commitment to solar. Other solar installations are being developed in New York, Philadelphia, New England and San Francisco. And that s just part of the story we ve also developed innovative system-power projects for stadiums in Dallas and Houston.

02 Creating a hospital infrastructure as advanced as a hospital s care. Princeton HealthCare System Medicine has always been a catalyst for invention.

03 Innovation and customer service have no boundaries. Yum! Brands Yum! Brands was looking to consolidate the number of electricity suppliers they have nationally. With 37,000 restaurants, including Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC and Long John Silver s, the company s large volume of accounts means that customer service and support is particularly important. These elements were a key factor in the decision to choose Reliant, the largest retail brand in the NRG family, as their electricity provider and to name them Supplier of the Year for the exceptional service they delivered. More recently, the relationship expanded further with added business in Maryland, Delaware, and Washington DC. Proof that a customized electricity plan goes well with chicken, pizza and tacos.

04 Turning a worst-case scenario into a best-case solution. City of Houston A powerful storm provides a powerful test for any electricity provider. After Hurricane Ike in 2008, the City of Houston and other municipalities began ramping up their efforts to secure a source for reliable back-up power. Not only was it the right thing to do, ensuring vital services like electricity and a clean water supply, it was also mandated by the state legislature. Our solution? A back-up generation system that not only was powerful enough and tailored for the city s needs, but also included a unique financing approach to address budget limitations. In situations where five-nines reliability (99.999%) is no longer enough, our solution provides 100% reassurance at every level. THE POWER OF SOMETHING BETTER.THE NRG BUSINESS SOLUTIONS PORTFOLIO.

05 Extreme heat. Extremely effective solution. Phoenix Convention Center light rail station In Arizona, temperatures of 110 F are commonplace and just the place for an uncommon NRG solution. In two months we brought a unique cooling system to light rail station passengers and we did it with no disruption to daily activities. It leveraged our expertise in district cooling and heating energy systems design, solar power, engineering, and project management. Equally important, it built on the value of the center s existing assets, driving new value from what was already in place. Proof that innovation doesn t always mean all-new.

06 A lesson in solar ingenuity. Arizona State University, School Districts nationwide Schools have long been a haven for innovation. So it s only fitting that educational institutions have embraced the benefits of solar. At Arizona State University, that idea recently took shape in the form of an innovative 2.1-megawatt distributed solar pavilion, covering 800 parking spaces and featuring a unique 24-foot-high PowerParasol. We ve also constructed carport and ground-mounted shade structures incorporating solar generation at multiple school districts across the country. These systems will deliver more than seven megawatts of solar power and up to 100% of the power at the schools. Just as innovative, our financing plan allows them to be constructed with no upfront capital costs. THE POWER OF SOMETHING BETTER.THE NRG BUSINESS SOLUTIONS PORTFOLIO.
