HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 17, 2014-- NRG Energy Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG), is strengthening its portfolio of customizable, site-specific plant services available to plant owners and operators by adding the Turbine Services Group, a non-union workforce to complement the existing pool of represented maintenance personnel. This group possesses extensive expertise in fast-response, on-site maintenance and repair of gas and steam turbines.

“Our Turbine Services Group increases the expertise, flexibility and capability we bring to our customers to address any turbine issue,” said Don Poe, President of NRG Energy Services. “Our goal is to give plant owners and operators across the nation the same quality and confidence in their operations and maintenance that we have brought to NRG for many years.
