NRG Business Wins Prestigious Energy Marketing Conference Award


Powering progress with an award-winning strategy

NRG Energy, Inc. is a proud recipient of the Competitive Energy Supplier of the Year award from the Energy Marketing Conference (EMC 23 Houston). Senior Vice President and Head of Sales for NRG Business Scott Hart accepted the honor at the award ceremony on March 25.

“It is both an honor and a privilege to accept the 2025 Competitive Energy Supplier of the Year Award,” Scott said during the ceremony. “This recognition is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and relentless effort of our team in shaping the future of the energy industry.”

The EMC, founded in 2013, stands as the largest and longest-running gathering of retail energy executives in North America, dedicated to fostering relationships, engagement, education, and empowerment within the retail energy community.

This year marks the second time NRG Business has won this award, having previously received it in 2018. With a diverse portfolio of brands, we serve approximately 600K business sites across all 50 states and Canada and are leading the industry for energy providers. Our consistently highly-rated customer experience and innovative product offerings set us apart in an extremely competitive landscape.

Particularly of note in this year’s success has been our:

  • Tailored customer experience
    • Our customer-focused approach is unique in the industry, garnering multiple awards in 2024 alone. We manage more than 50 communication touchpoints along a contract lifecycle to ensure customers feel heard and supported, and our retention programs lead to better win rates and stronger relationships.
    • Our cutting-edge online account platforms add convenience to the customer experience, with real-time usage access, and tools and reporting functions for streamlined, proactive account management and easy payments.
  • Flourishing corporate culture
    • Our focus on diversity, employee engagement, growth, and safety have landed us on Forbes and Time’s “Best Companies to Work For” lists in 2024, and we proudly rank in the Fortune 200 listing.
  • Community outreach
    • With over $7M donated across approximately 1,100 charities and continuous employee engagement in philanthropic efforts, we are leading the charge in making sure our communities are supported and thriving.
  • Dedication to sustainability
    • We are leading by example in the field of sustainability, with a 58% reduction in GHG emissions since 2014. We’ve also taken significant steps toward retirement or divesting of our fossil fuel-fired power generation capacity.

Thank you to the Energy Marketing Conference and the retail energy community for this recognition.  We are truly humbled. As we celebrate our achievements, we also remain committed to continuing to drive innovation, sustainability, and excellence in the energy sector, looking forward to a brighter future for all.
