Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting
Segment Reporting
The Company's segment structure reflects how management currently makes financial decisions and allocates resources. The Company's businesses are segregated into the Generation, Retail and corporate segments. Generation includes all power plant activities, domestic and international, as well as renewables. Retail includes Mass customers and Business Solutions, which includes C&I customers and other distributed and reliability products. Intersegment sales are accounted for at market. The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2018 has been recast to reflect the current segment structure.
On February 4, 2019, as described in Note 4, Discontinued Operations and Dispositions, the Company completed the sale of and deconsolidated the South Central Portfolio. On August 31, 2018, as described in Note 4, Discontinued Operations and Dispositions, NRG deconsolidated NRG Yield, Inc., its Renewables Platform and Carlsbad for financial reporting purposes. The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2018 has been recast to reflect the presentation of these entities as discontinued operations within the corporate segment.
NRG’s chief operating decision maker, its chief executive officer, evaluates the performance of its segments based on operational measures including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and capital for allocation, as well as net income/(loss)and net income/(loss) attributable to NRG Energy, Inc.
