Gaudette stated NRG has a clear data center strategy, including the GVC deal for 5.4 GW of generation, partnerships securing turbines and labor, and high confidence in announcing first data center deals soon. Data center-driven electricity demand is surging and requires reliable, dispatchable power; NRG's unique position with pre-secured supply chain and focused execution on thermal generation positions it to capture this growth and create shareholder value. LONG – NRG is strategically aligned with a high-growth demand segment, has mitigated key supply risks, and is poised for value accretion as data center projects materialize. Economic recession curtailing data center investment, execution delays in partnerships or construction, or regulatory shifts away from thermal generation.
