SUGAR LAND--August 4, 2017--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--NRG Energy Incorporated (NYSE:NRG) (Princeton, New Jersey), the largest independent U.S. power producer, saw its net losses deepen in second-quarter 2017, despite higher revenues compared with the year-earlier period. Mild weather, lower margins in Texas, and higher transportation costs for coal erased profits and hiked expenses. But the company is embarking on a three-year transformation plan that executives hope will shed less profitable assets and shift focus to its more promising natural gas developments. Industrial Info is tracking nearly $4 billion in active projects involving NRG.
