Environmental Supervision Matters NRG is subject to numerous environmental laws regarding the development, construction, ownership and operation of power plants. These laws usually require government permits and approvals before construction, and maintenance during the operation of the power plant. Over time, federal and state environmental laws have historically become stricter. Future laws may require additional emission controls or other environmental controls or impose restrictions on company operations. Compliance with environmental laws usually involves dedicated human resources and substantial capital and operating expenses, as well as occasional reductions in operations. The COVID-19 pandemic may prevent companies from complying with certain environmental requirements that have been recognized by federal and state regulatory agencies. NRG
