Middle East Geopolitical Exposure

Ongoing hostilities involving Iran and conflicts in the Middle East have contributed to elevated and volatile oil prices and could put upward pressure on U.S. natural gas over time. NRG states that prolonged market volatility could increase collateral requirements under its hedging arrangements. The conflicts could also heighten counterparty credit exposure associated with those hedges. The filing does not quantify a current financial impact, but identifies a direct risk to liquidity and commodity-risk management.
