NRG will include Nest Renew a new, innovative Google service as an option for eligible customers in Texas. This tool will help customers manage and make choices about their energy usage, deepen their sustainability journey, and track the positive difference they are making, right from their homes. The service works with compatible Nest thermostats1 to help customers automatically shift their heating and cooling electricity usage to times when the grid is cleaner2, in turn allowing energy companies to better manage energy fluctuations and drive a cleaner, more resilient energy future. Nest Renew was built on the premise that to support the fight against climate change, today’s grids need to be more flexible and resilient.

“NRG is proud to partner with Google and empower our customers with additional options for supporting clean energy,” said Mauricio Gutierrez, President and CEO of NRG Energy. “Our companies share a longstanding commitment to addressing and combating the impacts of climate change with innovative products and solutions, such as Google Nest Renew. In this way, we’re helping our customers make their own impact on climate, easy.”

Nest Renew marks the latest development in NRG and Google’s longstanding collaboration, which began in 2012 with the goal of developing tech-enabled energy offerings that make power a part of customers’ interconnected lives at work and at home.

In addition to providing Nest Renew to eligible residential customers, NRG will leverage its expertise in commercial energy to support Nest Renew services by offering Google Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) over the course of this program. RECs are derived from renewable resources and provide high impact carbon-reduction and sustainability benefits.
