Vistra Corp is a leading integrated power company in the United States, with its headquarters in Irving, Texas. The company was founded in 2007 as TXU Corp, and it was one of the largest energy companies in Texas at the time. However, in 2018, the company underwent a major rebranding and changed its name to Vistra Corp to reflect its new direction and focus.
Vistra is primarily involved in electricity generation and retail electricity sales. The company operates a diverse portfolio of power plants, including natural gas, coal, nuclear, and renewable energy facilities. They generate and sell electricity to wholesale customers, retail customers, and other power providers in various markets across the country.
Vistra has been actively expanding its renewable energy portfolio, investing in cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. They have been transitioning some of their older, less efficient power plants to cleaner alternatives, such as natural gas and renewable energy sources, in alignment with the changing energy landscape and growing demand for sustainable energy solutions.
Additionally, Vistra Corp has a retail electricity segment that serves millions of residential, commercial, and industrial customers across several states. They offer various electricity plans and services to meet the diverse needs of their customers, providing options for fixed-rate plans, green energy plans, and other innovative offerings.
With its focus on sustainability and strategic investments in renewable energy, Vistra Corp aims to continue its role as a major player in the U.S. energy market and contribute to the ongoing transformation of the power industry towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
