RESA advocates for consumer choice in 13 states and the District of Columbia, representing a diverse group of retail electricity and natural gas providers. As leaders in retail energy restructuring, RESA members actively engage with state public utility commissions, legislatures, and FERC to address critical policy issues, fostering open dialogue with policymakers and decision-makers.
Each market has a dedicated policy monitoring group focused on electricity and natural gas issues. Members elect a chair to lead these efforts, ensuring proactive oversight of policy developments impacting retail competition. These groups track legislative, regulatory and administrative actions related to electricity and natural gas at the state level.
At the end of 2023, NRG operated in electric and/or natural gas markets in 25 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and eight provinces in Canada, as well as Vivint, which served customers in all 50 U.S. states.
