Six facilities, four states
LS Power says it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire six natural gas-fired generation facilities from NRG Energy, totaling 4.9 GW. The November 9 announcement covers plants in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island and Texas.
The list includes Jack County, Johnson County and R.W. Miller in Texas, Ocean State Power in Rhode Island, Ravenswood in New York and Wallingford in Connecticut.
An agreement is not a completed transfer
Closing is expected in 2027, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals. The release does not disclose a purchase price or an exact closing date.
LS Power also describes a separate, pending 4.4 GW Constellation acquisition. Its projected increase in gas-generation capacity from 2.2 GW to 11.5 GW includes both transactions; the NRG agreement alone does not establish that enlarged operating fleet.
What the announcement does not establish
The deal concerns ownership of existing generation assets. The release does not announce a new household electricity tariff or promise lower bills. Future fleet totals remain conditional on the pending acquisitions.
