Giving back to the places we call home
To support first responders and the most vulnerable in Texas, Reliant has donated more than $800,000 to local community relief funds and initiatives to protect frontline workers and those adversely impacted by COVID-19. The donations are part of our community program, Reliant Gives, to provide support across the state of Texas and our parent company, NRG Energy, Inc.’s $2 million donation to pandemic relief efforts.
The donations will support the following initiatives:

Working in new ways to keep you powered
At Reliant, we embrace the responsibility that comes with providing a critical service – and we prepare accordingly. Our robust and comprehensive business continuity plan ensures that during extreme circumstances, like those caused by the novel Coronavirus pandemic, we can continue to seamlessly deliver the electricity every Texan needs.
As many pandemic-related protocols are being eased across the state, Reliant team members are still social distancing and working from home. Concurrently, we are preparing for a phased, systematic return to our office locations, where we will undertake thorough health and safety measures designed to combat the spread of Covid 19. In the meantime, we remain equipped with remote connectivity and the tools necessary to do our jobs safely and effectively. All so you can stay powered.
