What is NRG’s supplier diversity program?
NRG actively seeks small and diverse suppliers, including minority-owned, woman-owned, veteran-owned, and local businesses. Supplier diversity is central to our business strategy and helps create value for NRG and its customers.
How do I become certified as a diverse supplier?
Suppliers may self-identify during registration and upload applicable certifications. Documentation may include minority, women, or veteran-owned business certifications.
Do I need safety qualifications to work with NRG?
Suppliers performing work onsite at plants or field locations may be required to meet safety qualifications through NRG’s partner, ISN. Not all suppliers are required to register.
How do I become safety qualified?
Suppliers register with ISN, submit required documentation, and maintain current qualifications to remain eligible for on-site work.
Do I need to meet security qualifications?
Suppliers providing IT, cybersecurity, or services involving sensitive data may need to complete a security review through Whistic. Administrative or non-IT suppliers typically do not require security qualifications.
What information is required for a security qualification?
Documentation may include cybersecurity policies, data handling practices, and certifications. Qualified suppliers maintain up-to-date security documentation for NRG reviews.
How does NRG issue purchase orders (POs)?
Most goods and services require a PO. Non-PO purchases follow a separate approval process. Suppliers should reference POs on all invoices.
What are NRG’s standard payment terms?
NRG standard payment terms are Net 60 from the invoice date unless otherwise specified in the contract or PO.
How can I ensure my invoice is paid on time?
Ensure your invoice includes correct PO references, accurate line items, and required documentation. Keep your company information and banking details up to date in the Ariba Supplier Portal. The most common reason for a delayed payment is outdated remit details.
What contracting terms should I expect?
NRG uses standardized agreements tailored to the scope, risk, and type of service or product. Contracts outline expectations for quality, safety, compliance, and delivery.
Where can I find documentation or forms required for registration?
Documentation requirements vary by supplier type and engagement. Visit the Supplier Registration or Supplier Portal pages for details.
