This Earth Month is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the intersection of sustainability and customers in our energy systems. Having spent most of my career in the energy space, I have never seen a transformation like the one we are facing today. Renewable technologies like wind and solar have changed the way we generate power. At the same time, consumer behaviors and technological advances outside of the energy space are changing how we use - and think about - energy.

这个地球月是反思我们能源系统中可持续发展与客户交汇点的绝佳机会。我职业生涯的大部分时间都在能源领域度过,我从未见过像我们今天所面临的转型。风能和太阳能等可再生技术改变了我们的发电方式。同时,消费者行为和能源领域之外的技术进步正在改变我们使用和思考能源的方式。

However, NRG and many others in our industry continue to contend with how to drive the energy transition reliably and affordably. What I have learned over the past decade on the NRG team confirms what I have always believed. Success begins and ends with the consumer.

但是,NRG和我们行业中的许多其他人仍在为如何可靠且经济实惠地推动能源转型而争论不休。在过去的十年中,我在NRG团队中学到的知识证实了我一直以来的信念。成功始于消费者。

A customer-first approach

客户至上的方法

Today, we are at an inflection point. The demand side of the energy equation is no longer something just to be served. It is an opportunity. For consumers to become a participant in the energy future. For controllable support for the power grid. And for increasingly cleaner and more efficient energy use.

今天,我们正处于转折点。能量方程的需求方已不再仅仅是可以满足的问题。这是一个机会。让消费者成为未来能源的参与者。为电网提供可控的支持。并用于越来越清洁、更高效的能源利用。

As such, we are committed to facilitating customers' sustainability efforts through solutions that make renewables, energy efficiency, and home management more accessible to everyone. Our robust technology platform helps customers be better energy users by providing data and insights into their consumption. Paired with the right electricity plan, we reward them for leveraging this information to modify energy use - without disrupting their lives.

因此,我们致力于通过让所有人更容易获得可再生能源、能源效率和家居管理的解决方案,促进客户的可持续发展工作。我们强大的技术平台通过提供消费数据和见解,帮助客户成为更好的能源使用者。再加上正确的电力计划,我们会奖励他们利用这些信息在不影响他们的生活的情况下改变能源使用。

While still emerging, these small reductions have the potential to be harnessed together through smart, controllable devices in the home to create a meaningful power resource. When paired with NRG's market expertise, this aggregation can help support the grid as the number of intermittent resources increases.

尽管这些微小的减排量仍在浮出水面,但有可能通过家庭中的智能可控设备加以利用,从而创造出有意义的电力资源。与NRG的市场专业知识相结合,随着间歇性资源数量的增加,这种聚合可以帮助支持电网。

For our larger business customers, this type of controllable demand is nothing new. They have been participating in load management programs for years, both managing risk and monetizing flexible demand. Additionally, any reduction in demand also reduces stress on less efficient generation sources that run during peak demand.

对于我们的大型企业客户来说,这种可控的需求并不是什么新鲜事。他们多年来一直参与负荷管理计划,既管理风险,又通过灵活需求获利。此外,需求的任何减少也会减轻需求高峰期间运行的效率较低的发电来源的压力。

Moreover, we are constantly working to expand our offerings and provide additional sustainable value to home and business customers through cleaner products such as renewable and producer-certified natural gas, RECs, carbon offsets, virtual PPAs, and community solar projects.

此外,我们一直在努力扩大我们的产品范围,通过清洁产品为家庭和企业客户提供额外的可持续价值,例如可再生天然气和生产商认证的天然气、REC、碳补偿、虚拟PPA和社区太阳能项目。

Through this approach, we are supporting our customers' decarbonization journey and our own. Not through a silver-bullet solution but by empowering customers through products and solutions that meet their needs.

通过这种方法,我们为客户的脱碳之旅和我们自己的脱碳之旅提供支持。不是通过灵丹妙药解决方案,而是通过满足客户需求的产品和解决方案为客户提供支持。

The next chapter

下一章

We all want to leave a better world for the next generation. By using the technology we have now to manage our resources, we can turn the tide on climate change. As with any transition, there will be bumps, and the path may not always seem clear. But NRG will be there along the way.

我们都想为下一代留下一个更美好的世界。通过使用我们现在拥有的技术来管理我们的资源,我们可以扭转气候变化的局面。与任何过渡一样,都会有颠簸,而且路径可能并不总是那么明确。但是 NRG 将一路走来。

We have grasped the opportunity to do more than just provide electricity. We sit in the perfect place to look beyond our own sustainability goals and toward helping our customers achieve so much more. From my seat, I see the headwinds, opportunities, tools, and resources that will be key to furthering our progress. Undoubtedly, I am inspired by the many ways we can all participate in building a better tomorrow.

我们抓住了机会,不仅仅是提供电力。我们处在理想的位置,不仅可以将目光投向自己的可持续发展目标,还能帮助我们的客户取得更多成就。在我的座位上,我看到了阻力、机遇、工具和资源,这些将是我们进一步取得进展的关键。毫无疑问,我们所有人都可以通过多种方式参与建设更美好的明天,这给我带来了启发。

Please stay with us on our journey and learn more about our story and progress. I am excited about what we can achieve and how we are partnering with customers, both large and small, to power a brighter future, together.

请继续关注我们的旅程,进一步了解我们的故事和进展。我对我们能取得的成就以及我们如何与大小客户合作,共同推动更光明的未来感到兴奋。
