The team intends to provide innovative clean energy products and services to Vermont, beginning in early 2015, while helping customers manage energy use and save money.
The two companies have agreed to develop an advanced distribution grid in Rutland in order to create efficiencies and distributed energy solutions through renewable technologies and energy storage.
NRG president and CEO David Crane said: "Through this partnership, we hope to demonstrate that investing in a 21st century energy eco-system that is more sustainable, resilient, affordable and individually empowering for the people of Vermont is more sensible than pouring more investment into the creaky old grid infrastructure from the 20th century.
"In the course of so doing, we will also prove that the concepts of ‘electric utility’, ‘renewables’ and ‘personal choice’ are not mutually exclusive."
The products and service offerings from the project include the personal energy management, NRG portable power, electric vehicle infrastructure, community solar, micro-power and microgrid.
