PART I

Item 1 — Business (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

General

The Registrants are wholesale power generation subsidiaries of NRG, which is a competitive power company that produces, sells and delivers energy and energy services, primarily in major competitive power markets in the U.S. GenOn is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG. GenOn was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on August 9, 2000, under the name Reliant Energy Unregco, Inc. GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of GenOn. GenOn Americas Generation was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on November 1, 2001, under the name Mirant Americas Generation, LLC. GenOn Mid-Atlantic was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on July 12, 2000, under the name Southern Energy Mid-Atlantic, LLC. GenOn Mid-Atlantic is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG North America and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of GenOn Americas Generation. The Registrants are engaged in the ownership and operation of power generation facilities; the trading of energy, capacity and related products; and the transacting in and trading of fuel and transportation services.

The Registrants’ generation facilities are located in the U.S. and comprise generation facilities across the merit order. The sale of capacity and power from baseload and intermediate generation facilities accounts for a majority of the Registrants’ generation revenues. In addition, the Registrants’ generation portfolio provides each with opportunities to capture additional revenues by selling power during periods of peak demand, offering capacity or similar products, and providing ancillary services to support system reliability.

The following table summarizes the generation portfolio as of December 31, 2014, by Registrant:



	(In MW)
Generation Type	GenOn	GenOn Americas Generation	GenOn Mid-Atlantic
Natural gas	11,730	3,729	1,942
Coal	5,740	2,433	2,433
Oil	2,059	1,434	308
Total generation capacity	19,529	7,596	4,683

Seasonality and Price Volatility

Annual and quarterly operating results of the Registrants' wholesale power generation segments can be significantly affected by weather and energy commodity price volatility. Significant other events, such as the demand for natural gas, interruptions in fuel supply infrastructure and relative levels of hydroelectric capacity can increase seasonal fuel and power price volatility. The Registrants derive a majority of its annual revenues in the months of May through October, when demand for electricity is generally at its highest in the Registrants core domestic markets. Further, power price volatility is generally higher in the summer months, traditionally the Registrants' most important season. The Registrants' second most important season is the winter months of December through March when volatility and price spikes in underlying delivered fuel prices have tended to drive seasonal electricity prices. The preceding factors related to seasonality and price volatility are fairly uniform across the Registrants' wholesale generation business segments.

NRG Merger

On December 14, 2012, NRG completed the acquisition of GenOn. NRG issued, as consideration for the acquisition, 0.1216 shares of NRG common stock for each outstanding share of GenOn, including restricted stock units outstanding on the acquisition date, except for fractional shares which were paid in cash. See Item 15 — Note 3, NRG Merger and Dispositions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

The NRG Merger was accounted for by NRG using acquisition accounting and through the application of “push-down” accounting, the purchase price paid by NRG was allocated to the Registrants' assets, liabilities and equity as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting and predecessor and successor period financial results are presented, but not comparable.

The most significant impacts of the new basis of accounting during the successor periods were (i) reduced depreciation expense due to the step-down of depreciable assets, (ii) lower interest expense for the remaining life of long-term debt due to its revaluation and related debt premium amortization along with the repayment of the senior secured term loan due 2017, and (iii) reduced cost of operations due to the amortization of lease obligations and out-of-market contracts.

The results of operations for successor periods included herein reflect certain acquisition-related transaction and integration costs which are not expected to have a continuing impact on the results going forward, and those amounts are included within a separate line within the Registrants' consolidated results of operations.

Competition

Wholesale power generation is a capital-intensive, commodity-driven business with numerous industry participants. The Registrants compete on the basis of the location of their plants and ownership of portfolios of plants in various regions, which increases the stability and reliability of its energy revenues. Wholesale power generation is a regional business that is currently highly fragmented and diverse in terms of industry structure. As such, there is a wide variation in terms of the capabilities, resources, nature and identity of the companies the Registrants compete with depending on the market. Competitors include regulated utilities, other independent power producers, and power marketers or trading companies, including those owned by financial institutions, municipalities and cooperatives.

Competitive Strengths

The Registrants’ power generation assets are diversified by fuel-type, dispatch level and region, which helps mitigate the risks associated with fuel price volatility and market demand cycles. The Registrants' baseload and intermediate facilities provide each with a significant source of cash flow, while the peaking facilities provide the Registrants with opportunities to capture upside potential that can arise from time to time during periods of high demand.

Many of the Registrants’ generation assets are located within densely populated areas, which tend to have more robust wholesale pricing as a result of relatively favorable local supply-demand balance. The Registrants have generation assets located in or near the New York City, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles and San Francisco metropolitan areas and New Jersey. These facilities are often ideally situated for repowering or the addition of new capacity, because their location and existing infrastructure provide significant advantages over undeveloped sites.

2014 Significant Events and Developments

(a)	Net Coal capacity represents nominal summer net MW capacity of power generated as adjusted for the Registrants' ownership position excluding capacity from inactive/mothballed units, see Item 2 - Properties for units scheduled to be deactivated.


(b)	Forecasted generation dispatch output (MWh) based on forward price curves as of December 31, 2014, which is then divided by number of hours in a given year to arrive at MW capacity. The dispatch takes into account planned and unplanned outage assumptions.

(c)

Includes amounts under power sales contracts and natural gas hedges. The forward natural gas quantities are reflected in equivalent MWh based on forward market implied heat rate as of December 31, 2014, and then combined with power sales to arrive at equivalent MWh hedged which is then divided by number of hours in given year to arrive at MW hedged. The Coal Sales include swaps and delta of options sold which is subject to change. For detailed information on the Registrants' hedging methodology through use of derivative instruments, see discussion in Item 15 - Note 5, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


(d)	Percentage hedged is based on total Coal sales as described in (c) above divided by the forecasted Coal capacity.


(e)	Represents all U.S. Coal sales, including energy revenue and demand charges, excluding revenues derived from capacity auctions.

Regulatory Matters

As owners of power plants and participants in wholesale energy markets, certain of the Registrants' subsidiaries are subject to regulation by various federal and state government agencies. These include the CFTC and FERC, as well as other public utility commissions in certain states where the Registrants' generating assets are located. In addition, the Registrants are subject to the market rules, procedures and protocols of the various ISO markets in which they participate. The Registrants must also comply with the mandatory reliability requirements imposed by NERC and the regional reliability entities in the regions where they operate.

National

Court Rejects FERC's Jurisdiction Over Demand Response — On May 23, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated FERC's rules (known as Order No. 745) that allow demand response resources to participate in FERC-jurisdictional energy markets. The Court of Appeals held that the Federal Power Act does not authorize FERC to exercise jurisdiction over demand response and that instead demand response is part of the retail market over which the states have jurisdiction. The specific order being challenged related to energy market compensation, but this ruling also calls into question whether demand response will be permitted to participate in the capacity markets in the future. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a stay of its decision in order to allow the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the case. The U.S. Solicitor General, on behalf of FERC, filed a petition for a writ of certiorari on January 15, 2015. On the same date, EnerNOC, Inc. and other private entities filed their own petition for a writ of certiorari in the matter. NRG filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on February 17, 2015, supporting the U.S. Solicitor General's and EnerNOC's position and urging the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari. The eventual outcome of this proceeding could result in refunds of payments made for non-jurisdictional services and resettlement of wholesale markets but it is not possible to estimate the impact on the Registrants at this time.

East Region

PJM

New Jersey and Maryland's Generator Contracting Programs — The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and the Maryland Public Service Commission awarded long-term power purchase contracts to generation developers to encourage the construction of new generation capacity in the respective states. The constitutionality of the long-term contracts was challenged and the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (in an October 25, 2013, decision) and the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (in an October 24, 2013, decision) found that the respective contracts violated the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution and were preempted. On June 30, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the Maryland District Court's decision. On September 11, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the New Jersey District Court's decision. Various parties have petitioned the Supreme Court for review of both cases. Any Supreme Court action may affect future capacity prices in PJM.

Capacity Replacement — On March 10, 2014, PJM filed at FERC to limit speculation in the forward capacity auction. Specifically, PJM proposed tariff changes that are designed to ensure that only capacity resources that are reasonably expected to be provided as a physical resource by the start of the delivery year can participate in the Base Residual Auction. These changes include the addition of a replacement capacity adjustment charge that is intended to remove the incentive to profit from replacing capacity commitments, an increase in deficiency penalties for non-performance, and a reduction in the number of incremental auctions from three to one. On May 9, 2014, FERC rejected PJM’s proposed changes to address replacement capacity and incremental auction design, but established a Section 206 proceeding and technical conference to find a just-and-reasonable outcome. On August 18, 2014, PJM requested that FERC defer further action in the proceeding. Since the request, FERC has taken no action. The Section 206 proceeding and technical conference could have a material impact on future PJM capacity prices.

Capacity Performance Proposal — On December 14, 2014, PJM requested FERC approval to substantially revamp its capacity market. If approved by FERC, future annual capacity auctions would procure two categories of capacity resources: “Capacity Performance” resources and “Base Capacity” resources. Under the proposal, PJM would institute substantial new performance penalties on capacity performance resources that do not perform in real time during specified periods of high demand and substantially modify capacity bidding rules. Should the proposal be approved by FERC, it is likely to have a material impact on future PJM capacity prices.

Capacity Import Limits — On April 22, 2014, FERC approved PJM's proposal to add a limit on the amount of capacity from external resources that PJM can reliably import into PJM. The capacity import limit will be in effect for the 2017/2018 Base Residual Auction, may decrease the amount of capacity imports allowed into PJM as compared to recent auctions, and could have a material impact on future PJM capacity prices. On January 22, 2015, FERC denied rehearing.

Reactive Power — On November 20, 2014, FERC issued an Order to Show Cause under FPA Section 206 directing PJM to either revise its tariff to provide that a generation or non-generation resource owner will no longer receive reactive power capability payments after it has deactivated its unit and to clarify the treatment of reactive power capability payments for units transferred out of a fleet or show cause why it should not be required to do so. On December 22, 2014, PJM filed proposed tariff changes, and the matter remains pending at FERC. The Registrants' reactive power revenues may change as a result of this proceeding.

Recovery of Costs of Capacity Agreements Secured Outside RPM Auctions — On December 24, 2014, PJM submitted proposed revisions to the tariff to permit it to enter into and recover the costs of capacity agreements secured outside the RPM for the specific purpose of alleviating resource adequacy concerns during the 2015/2016 delivery year. On February 20, 2015, FERC rejected PJM's filing without prejudice to PJM refiling a fully specified and justified proposal.

Demand Response Operability — On May 9, 2014, FERC largely accepted PJM’s proposed changes on demand response operability in an attempt to enhance the operational flexibility of demand response resources during the operating day. The approval of these changes will likely limit the amount of demand response resources eligible to participate in PJM. The matter is pending rehearing at FERC.

PJM “Stop Gap” Demand Response Filing — On January 14, 2015, PJM filed to implement “stop gap” rules governing the participation of demand response in the upcoming capacity auction (for the 2018/2019 delivery year), which will take effect only if the U.S. Supreme Court denies certiorari of the EPSA v. FERC decision. Under the new rules, PJM would prohibit demand response from participating in PJM’s capacity auction as supply-side resources. Instead, PJM proposes to create a new product, termed “Wholesale Load Reduction,” that would allow LSEs to bid reductions in demand, backed by physical demand response resources, into the auction. Demand response resources participating as Wholesale Load Reduction would have a comparable impact on capacity clearing prices as demand response participating as supply, on a megawatt for megawatt basis. The Registrants are opposing PJM’s proposal.

MOPR Litigation — On April 12, 2011, FERC issued an order addressing a complaint filed by PJM Power Providers Group seeking to require PJM to address the potential adverse impacts of out-of-market generation on the PJM Reliability Pricing Model, capacity market, as well as PJM's subsequent submission seeking revisions to the capacity market design, in particular the MOPR. In its order, FERC generally strengthened the MOPR and the protections against market price distortion from out-of-market generation. On February 18, 2014, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed FERC's order.

MOPR Revisions — On December 7, 2012, PJM filed comprehensive revisions to its MOPR rules at FERC. On May 2, 2013, FERC accepted PJM's proposal in part and rejected it in part. Among other things, FERC approved the portions of the PJM proposal that exempt many new entrants from MOPR rules, including projects proposed by merchant generators, public power entities and certain self-supply entities. This exemption is subject to certain conditions designed to limit the financial incentive of such entities to suppress market prices. However, FERC rejected PJM's proposal to eliminate the unit specific review process and instead directed PJM to continue allowing units to demonstrate their actual costs and revenues and bid into the auction at that price. On June 3, 2013, NRG filed a request for rehearing of the FERC order and subsequently protested the manner in which PJM proposed to implement the FERC order. These challenges are both pending.

New England (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation)

Performance Incentive Proposal — On January 17, 2014, ISO-NE filed at FERC to revise its forward capacity market, or FCM, by making a resource’s forward capacity market compensation dependent on resource output during short intervals of operating reserve scarcity. The ISO-NE proposal would replace the existing shortage event penalty structure with a new performance incentive, or PI, mechanism, resulting in capacity payments to resources that would be the combination of two components: (1) a base capacity payment and (2) a performance payment or charge. The performance payment or charge would be entirely dependent upon the resource’s delivery of energy or operating reserves during scarcity conditions, and could be larger than the base payment.

On May 30, 2014, FERC found that most of the provisions in the ISO-NE proposal, with modifications, together with an increase to the reserve constraint penalty factors, provided a just and reasonable structure. FERC instituted a proceeding for further hearings and required ISO-NE to make a compliance filing to modify its proposal and adopt the increases to the reserve constraint penalty factors. The matter is pending rehearing at FERC.

FCM Rules for 2014 Forward Capacity Auction — On February 28, 2014, ISO-NE filed the results of FCA #8 with FERC. On September 16, 2014, FERC issued a notice stating that the FCA #8 results would go into effect by operation of law. Several parties requested rehearing of FERC’s notice, which was rejected by FERC on procedural grounds. The matter was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and remains pending.

NEPGA Complaint — On October 31, 2013, NEPGA filed a complaint against ISO-NE alleging that the tariff-set capacity prices during circumstances termed Insufficient Competition and Inadequate Supply and the tariff rules known as the Capacity Carry Forward Rule, components of the FCM, created unreasonable and unduly discriminatory price disparities between new and existing capacity resources. On November 25, 2013, ISO-NE submitted a proposal to raise the tariff-set administrative prices to $7.025/kW-month for Forward Capacity Auction 8. On January 24, 2014, FERC accepted ISO-NE’s proposal to revamp its Insufficient Supply and Insufficient Competition rules, which resulted in a declaration of the Insufficient Competition condition and a $7.025/kW-month price to all existing resources. On February 24, 2014, NEPGA filed a request for rehearing. On January 30, 2015, NEPGA’s request for rehearing was denied.

Sloped Demand Curve Filing — On May 30, 2014, FERC accepted the proposed tariff revisions discussed in the April 1, 2014 ISO-NE filing at FERC regarding the establishment of a sloped demand curve for use in the ISO-NE Forward Capacity Market. The accepted tariff changes include extending the period during which a market participant can lock-in the capacity price for a new resource from five to seven years, establishing a limited exemption for the buyer-side market mitigation rules for a set amount of renewable resources, and eliminating the administrative pricing rules. The shift away from the current vertical demand curve and accompanying proposed changes could have a material impact on the capacity prices in future auctions. The matter is still subject to rehearing at FERC.

New York

Demand Curve Reset and the Lower Hudson Valley Capacity Zone — On May 27, 2014, FERC denied rehearing and phase-in requests regarding its August 13, 2013 order on the creation of the Lower Hudson Valley Capacity Zone. The NYISO had previously approved the creation of a new Lower Hudson Valley Capacity Zone in New York, as part of the NYISO’s triennial adjustment of its capacity market parameters for the 2014-2017 periods. The State of New York, NYSPSC and Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. have challenged the FERC order before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held oral argument on September 12, 2014. The matter remains pending.

NYSPSC Order Rescinding Danskammer Retirement — On October 28, 2013, the NYSPSC took emergency action to rescind its approval for the 530 MW Danskammer facility to retire on October 30, 2013. The NYSPSC’s stated goal was to allow the facility to return to service in order to constrain rate increases in New York. The NYSPSC approved the emergency order and granted an extension until March 17, 2014 for Helios Capital LLC to file its plan to operate or retire the unit. On March 28, 2014, the NYSPSC adopted the October 28, 2013 order as permanent rule. The return to service of this facility may affect capacity prices received by the Registrants for their resource in the Lower Hudson Valley Capacity Zone.

Independent Power Producers of New York Complaint — On May 10, 2013, a generator trade association in New York filed a complaint at FERC against the NYISO. The generators asked FERC to direct the NYISO to require that capacity from existing generation resources that would have exited the market but for out-of-market payments under RMR type agreements be excluded from the capacity market altogether or be offered at levels no lower than the resources' going-forward costs. The complaints point to the recent reliability services agreements entered into between the NYSPSC and generators as evidence that capacity market prices are being influenced by non-market considerations. The complainants seek to prevent below-cost offers from artificially suppressing prices in the New York Control Area Installed Capacity Spot Market Auction. The case is pending.

Competitive Entry Exemption to Buyer-Side Mitigation Rules — On December 4, 2014, pursuant to Section 206 of the FPA, a group of New York transmission owners filed a complaint seeking a competitive entry exemption to the current NYISO Buyer-Side Mitigation rules. On December 16, 2014, TDI USA Holdings Corporation filed a complaint under Section 206 against the NYISO claiming that the NYISO’s application of the Mitigation Exemption Test under the Buyer-Side Mitigation Rules to TDI’s Champlain Hudson 1,000 MW transmission line project is unjust and unreasonable and seeks an exemption from the Mitigation Exemption Test. On February 26, 2015, FERC granted the complaint filed by the New York transmission owners and directed the NYISO to adopt a competitive entry exemption into its tariff within 30 days. In a companion order issued on the same day, FERC rejected the TDI complaint on the grounds that TDI’s concerns were adequately addressed by FERC’s first order. Allowing a competitive entry exemption significantly degrades protections against uneconomic entry into the New York markets.

Gulf Coast Region

MISO (GenOn)

MISO RMR Practices — On July 5, 2013, AmerenEnergy Resources Generating Company, or Ameren, filed a complaint against MISO pertaining to the compensation for generators asked by MISO to provide service past their retirement date due to reliability concerns, or RMR Generators. Ameren asked FERC to require MISO to provide such generators their full cost of service as compensation and not merely cover the generator's incremental costs of operation going-forward costs. The Registrants supported the complaint. On July 22, 2014, FERC issued an order denying the complaint in part and granting it in part. FERC found that the Tariff was unjust and unreasonable because it did not allow RMR Generators to obtain compensation for their fixed costs. The matter is pending rehearing.

MATS Waiver — Indianapolis Power and Light Company, DTE Electric Company, MidAmerican Energy Company, Duke Energy Indiana, Inc., Consumers Energy Company, and Wisconsin Power & Light Company each separately requested a limited, one-time waiver from their obligations to meet the Resource Adequacy Requirement in the MISO tariff, addressing an approximate six-week gap between the EPA’s MATS compliance deadline and the end of MISO’s 2015-2016 capacity planning year. The EPA’s MATS rules establish limits for HAPs emitted from, among other sources, existing and planned coal-fired generators and go into effect on April 16, 2015. Because the MISO capacity planning year runs from June 1 to May 31, there is a gap between the MATS-driven retirements in April and the MISO planning year in June. Any waiver of an LSE’s resource adequacy obligations would have a detrimental effect on the value of capacity in the MISO market.

On October 15, 2014, FERC granted Indianapolis Power and Light Company’s request for the limited, one-time waiver of MISO’s must-offer requirement and the requirement to purchase replacement capacity for the period of April 16, 2016 to May 31, 2016.

On November 7, 2014, FERC denied without prejudice Consumers Energy’s request for a limited waiver on the grounds that Consumers Energy failed to adequately demonstrate that the requested waiver would not cause undesirable consequences, such as harming third-parties. On November 18, 2014, Consumers Energy re-filed its request for a limited waiver. On February, 20, 2014, FERC granted Consumers Energy’s request. Also on that day, FERC granted DTE, MidAmerican, and Duke Energy’s requests for waivers. Wisconsin Power & Light’s request is still pending before FERC. Unlike the other entities’ requests of approximately six weeks, Wisconsin Power & Light’s request is for a five-month waiver based on a consent decree among the company, the EPA, and the Sierra Club.

Environmental Matters

The Registrants are subject to a wide range of environmental regulations in the development, construction, ownership and operation of projects. These laws generally require that governmental permits and approvals be obtained before construction and during operation of power plants. Environmental laws have become increasingly stringent and the Registrants expect this trend to continue. The electric generation industry is likely to face new requirements to address various emissions, including GHGs, as well as combustion byproducts, water discharge and use, and threatened and endangered species. In general, future laws are expected to require the addition of emissions controls or other environmental quality equipment or the imposition of certain restrictions on the operations of the Registrants' facilities, which could have a material effect on the Registrants' operations. Complying with environmental laws involves significant capital and operating expenses. The Registrants decide to invest capital for environmental controls based on the relative certainty of the requirements, an evaluation of compliance options, and the expected economic returns on capital.

See Item 15 — Note 17, Regulatory Matters, Note 18, Environmental Matters, and Note 19, Guarantees, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Capital Expenditures

Based on current rules, technology and plans based on proposed rules, GenOn estimates that environmental capital expenditures from 2015 through 2019 required to meet GenOn's regulatory environmental laws will be approximately $58 million for GenOn, which includes $15 million for GenOn Americas Generation. The estimate for GenOn Americas Generation includes $10 million for GenOn Mid-Atlantic. These costs are primarily associated with controls to satisfy MATS at Conemaugh, NO_xcontrols for Sayreville and Gilbert, and the conversion of Shawville coal-fired Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 to natural gas. The Registrants continue to explore cost effective compliance alternatives to further reduce costs.

See Item 15 — Note 8, Retirements, Mothballing or Long-Term Protective Layup of Generating Facilities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

East Region

Maryland Environmental Regulations — In October 2014, the MDE released a draft of a proposed regulation regarding NO_x emissions from coal-fired electric generating units. The MDE draft regulation was proposed in the Maryland Register in December 2014. If finalized as proposed, the regulation would require by June 2020 the Registrants (at each of the three Dickerson coal-fired units and the Chalk Point coal-fired unit that does not have an SCR) to (1) install and operate an SCR; (2) retire the unit; or (3) convert the fuel source from coal to natural gas. The implementation of the MDE regulation could negatively affect certain of the Registrants' coal-fired units in Maryland.

RGGI — In 2013, each of the RGGI member states finalized a rule that collectively reduced the CO₂ emissions cap from 165 million tons to 91 million tons in 2014 with a 2.5% reduction each year from 2015 to 2020. The Registrants expect earnings at their plants in Massachusetts, New York, and particularly those in Maryland, to be negatively affected. The extent to which they would be negatively affected depends on the price of the CO₂ emissions allowances, which in turn will be significantly influenced by future natural gas prices, power prices, generation resource mix, dispatch order, and any nuclear plant retirements.

Employees

As of December 31, 2014, GenOn had 1,774 employees of which 602 employees were part of GenOn Americas Generation and 451 employees were part of GenOn Mid-Atlantic, approximately 64.8%, 69.3% and 70.7%, respectively, of whom were covered by bargaining agreements. During 2014, the Registrants did not experience any labor stoppages or labor disputes at any of their facilities.

Available Information

The Registrants’ annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act are available free of charge through NRG's website, www.nrg.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with, or furnished to the SEC.

Item 1A — Risk Factors

The Registrants are subject to the following factors that could have a material adverse effect on their future performance, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, such factors could affect their ability to service indebtedness and other obligations, to raise capital and could affect their future growth opportunities. Also, see Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information and Item 7 — Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial Condition of this Form 10-K.

Risks Related to the Operation of the Registrants' Businesses

GenOn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG and is highly dependent on NRG for services under a master services agreement.

GenOn relies on NRG for its administrative and management functions and services including human resources-related functions, accounting, tax administration, information systems, legal services, treasury and planning, operations and asset management, risk and commercial operations, and other support services under a management services agreement. GenOn anticipates continuing to rely upon NRG to provide many of these services. If NRG terminates the management services agreement or defaults in the performance of its obligations under the agreement, GenOn may be unable to contract with a substitute service provider on similar terms or at all, and the costs of substituting service providers may be substantial. In addition, in light of NRG's familiarity with GenOn's assets, a substitute service provider may not be able to provide the same level of service due to lack of preexisting synergies. If GenOn cannot locate a service provider that is able to provide it with substantially similar services as NRG does under the management services agreement on similar terms, it would likely have a material adverse effect on GenOn's business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

The interests of NRG as GenOn's equity holder may conflict with the interests of holders of debt.

GenOn is owned and controlled by NRG. The interests of NRG may not in all cases be aligned with the interests of the holders of GenOn's debt or the debt and lease obligations of GenOn's subsidiaries. If GenOn encounters financial difficulties or becomes unable to pay its debts as they mature, NRG does not have any liability for any obligations under the GenOn notes or the notes and lease obligations of the GenOn subsidiaries. In addition, NRG may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks to GenOn's business or the holders of GenOn's and its subsidiaries' debt. Furthermore, NRG may own businesses that directly or indirectly compete with GenOn. NRG also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to NRG's business, and as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to GenOn.

The Registrants' financial results are unpredictable because most of their generating facilities operate without long-term power sales agreements, and their revenues and results of operations depend on market and competitive forces that are beyond their control.

The Registrants provide energy, capacity, ancillary and other energy services from their generating facilities in a variety of markets and to bi-lateral counterparties, including participating in wholesale energy markets, entering into tolling agreements, sales of resource adequacy and participation in capacity auctions. The Registrants revenues from selling capacity are a significant part of their overall revenues. The Registrants are not guaranteed recovery of their costs or any return on their capital investments through mandated rates.

The market for wholesale electric energy and energy services reflects various market conditions beyond the Registrants' control, including the balance of supply and demand, transmission congestion, competitors' marginal and long-term costs of production, the price of fuel, and the effect of market regulation. The price at which the Registrants can sell their output may fluctuate on a day-to-day basis, and their ability to transact may be affected by the overall liquidity in the markets in which the Registrants operate. These markets remain subject to regulations that limit their ability to raise prices during periods of shortage to the degree that would occur in a fully deregulated market. In addition, unlike most other commodities, electric energy can be stored only on a very limited basis and generally must be produced at the time of use. As a result, the wholesale power markets are subject to substantial price fluctuations over relatively short periods of time and can be unpredictable.

The Registrants' revenues, results of operations and cash flows are influenced by factors that are beyond their control, including those set forth above, as well as:


•	the failure of market regulators to develop and maintain efficient mechanisms to compensate merchant generators for the value of providing capacity needed to meet demand;


•	actions by regulators, ISOs, RTOs and other bodies that may artificially modify supply and demand levels and prevent capacity and energy prices from rising to the level necessary for recovery of the Registrants' costs, investment and an adequate return on investment;

•

legal and political challenges to or changes in the rules used to calculate capacity payments in the markets in which the Registrants operate or the establishment of bifurcated markets, incentives, other market design changes or bidding requirements that give preferential treatment to new generating facilities over existing generating facilities or otherwise reduce capacity payments to existing generating facilities;


•	the ability of wholesale purchasers of power to make timely payment for energy or capacity, which may be adversely affected by factors such as retail rate caps, refusals by regulators to allow utilities to recover fully their wholesale power costs and investments through rates, catastrophic losses and losses from investments by utilities in unregulated businesses;


•	increases in prevailing market prices for fuel oil, coal, natural gas and emission allowances that may not be reflected in prices the Registrants receive for sales of energy;


•	increases in electricity supply as a result of actions of the Registrants' current competitors or new market entrants, including the development of new generating facilities or alternative energy sources that may be able to produce electricity less expensively than the Registrants' generating facilities and improvements in transmission that allow additional supply to reach their markets;


•	increases in credit standards, margin requirements, market volatility or other market conditions that could increase the Registrants' obligations to post collateral beyond amounts that are expected, including additional collateral costs associated with OTC hedging activities as a result of future OTC regulations adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act;


•	decreases in energy consumption resulting from demand-side management programs such as automated demand response, which may alter the amount and timing of consumer energy use;


•	the competitive advantages of certain competitors, including continued operation of older power facilities in strategic locations after recovery of historic capital costs from ratepayers;


•	existing or future regulation of the markets in which the Registrants operate by FERC, ISOs and RTOs, including any price limitations and other mechanisms to address some of the price volatility or illiquidity in these markets or the physical stability of the system;


•	the Registrants' obligation under any default sharing mechanisms in RTO and ISO markets, such mechanisms exist to spread the risk of defaults by transmission owning companies or other RTO members across all market participants;


•	regulatory policies of state agencies that affect the willingness of the Registrants' customers to enter into long-term contracts generally, and contracts for capacity in particular;


•	access to contractors and equipment;


•	changes in the rate of growth in electricity usage as a result of such factors as national and regional economic conditions and implementation of conservation programs;


•	seasonal variations in energy and natural gas prices, and capacity payments; and


•	seasonal fluctuations in weather, in particular abnormal weather conditions.

As discussed above, the market for wholesale electric energy and energy services reflects various market conditions beyond the Registrants' control, including the balance of supply and demand, the Registrants' competitors' marginal and long-term costs of production, and the effect of market regulation. The Registrants cannot ensure that higher earnings or price increases will result from industry retirements of coal-fired generating facilities or that higher earnings from their remaining facilities will offset or more than offset reduced earnings from facility deactivations.

Changes in the wholesale energy markets or in the Registrants generating facility operations could result in impairments or other charges.

If the ongoing evaluation of the Registrants' business results in decisions to deactivate or dispose of additional facilities, the Registrants could have impairments or other charges. These evaluations involve significant judgments about the future. Actual future market prices, project costs and other factors could be materially different from current estimates.

The Registrants are exposed to the risk of fuel cost volatility because they must pre-purchase coal and oil.

Most of the Registrants' fuel contracts are at fixed prices with terms of two years or less. Although the Registrants purchase coal and oil based on expected requirements, they still face the risks of fuel price volatility if they require more or less fuel than expected.

The Registrants' cost of fuel may not reflect changes in energy and fuel prices in part because they must pre-purchase inventories of coal and oil for reliability and dispatch requirements, and thus the price of fuel may have been determined at an earlier date than the price of energy generated from the fuel. Similarly, the price the Registrants can obtain from the sale of energy may not rise at the same rate, or may not rise at all, to match a rise in fuel costs.

The Registrants are exposed to the risk of their fuel providers and fuel transportation providers failing to perform.

The Registrants purchase most of their coal from a limited number of suppliers. Because of a variety of operational issues, the Registrants' coal suppliers may not provide the contractual quantities on the dates specified within the agreements, or the deliveries may be carried over to future periods. Also, interruptions to planned or contracted deliveries to the Registrants' generating facilities can result from a lack of, or constraints in, coal transportation because of rail, river or road system disruptions, adverse weather conditions and other factors.

If the Registrants' coal suppliers do not perform in accordance with the agreements, the Registrants may have to procure higher priced coal in the market to meet their needs, or higher priced power in the market to meet their obligations. In addition, generally the Registrants' coal suppliers do not have investment grade credit ratings nor do they post collateral with the Registrants and, accordingly, the Registrants may have limited ability to collect damages in the event of default by such suppliers.

For the Registrants' oil-fired generating facilities, the Registrants typically purchase fuel from a limited number of suppliers. If the Registrants' oil suppliers do not perform in accordance with the agreements, the Registrants may have to procure higher priced oil in the market to meet their needs, or higher priced power in the market to meet their obligations. For the Registrants' gas-fired generating facilities, any curtailments or interruptions on transporting pipelines could result in curtailment of operations or increased fuel supply costs.

The Operation of the Registrants' generating facilities involves risks that could result in disruption, curtailment or inefficiencies in their operations.

The operation of the Registrants' generating facilities involves various operating risks, including, but not limited to:

•the output and efficiency levels at which those generating facilities perform;

•interruptions in fuel supply and quality of available fuel;

•disruptions in the delivery of electricity;

•adverse zoning;

•breakdowns or equipment failures (whether a result of age or otherwise);

•violations of permit requirements or changes in the terms of, or revocation of, permits;

•releases of pollutants to air, soil, surface water or groundwater;

•ability to transport and dispose of coal ash at reasonable prices;

•curtailments or other interruptions in natural gas supply;

•shortages of equipment or spare parts;

•labor disputes, including strikes, work stoppages and slowdowns;

•the aging workforce at many of the Registrants' facilities;

•operator errors;

•curtailment of operations because of transmission constraints;

•failures in the electricity transmission system, which may cause large energy blackouts;

•implementation of unproven technologies in connection with environmental improvements; and

•catastrophic events such as fires, explosions, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes or other similar occurrences.

These factors could result in a material decrease, or the elimination of, the revenues generated by the Registrants' facilities or a material increase in the Registrants' costs of operations.

The Registrants operate in a limited number of markets and a significant portion of revenues are derived from the PJM market. The effect of adverse developments in the markets, especially the PJM market, may be greater on the Registrants than on more geographically diversified competitors.

As of December 31, 2014, GenOn's generating capacity is 59% in PJM, 23% in CAISO, 10% in NYISO and ISO-NE, 6% in the Southeast and 2% in MISO, and GenOn Americas Generation's generating capacity is 62% in PJM, 13% in CAISO and 25% in NYISO and ISO-NE. As of December 31, 2014, all of GenOn Mid-Atlantic's generating capacity is in PJM. Adverse developments in these regions, especially in the PJM market, may adversely affect the Registrants. Further, the effect of such adverse regional developments may be greater on the Registrants than on more geographically diversified competitors.

The Registrants are exposed to possible losses that may occur from the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contractual arrangement, particularly in connection with non-collateralized power hedges with financial institutions.

Failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contractual arrangement may result in losses to the Registrants. Specifically, GenOn Mid-Atlantic's credit exposures on power and gas hedges with financial institutions in excess of applicable collateral thresholds are senior unsecured obligations of such counterparties. Deterioration in the financial condition of such counterparties could result in their failure to pay amounts owed to GenOn Mid-Atlantic or to perform obligations or services owed to GenOn Mid-Atlantic beyond collateral posted.

Policies at the national, regional and state levels to regulate GHG emissions, as well as climate change, could adversely impact the Registrants' results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The impact of further legislation or regulation of GHGs on the Registrants' financial performance will depend on a number of factors, including the level of GHG standards, the extent to which mitigation is required, the applicability of offsets, and the extent to which the Registrants would be entitled to receive CO₂ emissions credits without having to purchase them in an auction or on the open market.

The Registrants operate generating units in Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York that are subject to RGGI, which is a regional cap and trade system. In February 2013, RGGI released a model rule that when adopted by the member states will reduce the number of allowances available and potentially increase the price of each allowance. Each of these states has finalized a rule that reduces the number of allowances, which the Registrants believe would increase the price of each allowance. These new rules could adversely impact the Registrants' results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The California CO₂ cap and trade program for electric generating units greater than 25 MW commenced in 2013. The impact on the Registrants depends on the cost of the allowances and the ability to pass these costs through to customers.

In January 2014, the EPA re-proposed the NSPS for CO₂ emissions from new fossil-fuel-fired electric generating units that had been previously proposed in April 2012. The re-proposed standards are 1,000 pounds of CO₂ per MWh for large gas units and 1,100 pounds of CO₂ per MWh for coal units and small gas units. Proposed standards are in effect until a final rule is published or another rule is re-proposed. In June 2014, the EPA proposed a rule that would require states to develop CO₂ standards that would apply to existing fossil-fueled generating facilities. Specifically, the EPA proposed state-specific rate-based goals for CO₂ emissions, as well as guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to achieve the state-specific goals. The EPA anticipates finalizing both of these rules in the summer of 2015.

Hazards customary to the power production industry include the potential for unusual weather conditions, which could affect fuel pricing and availability, the Registrants' route to market or access to customers, i.e., transmission and distribution lines, or critical plant assets. To the extent that climate change contributes to the frequency or intensity of weather related events, the Registrants' operations and planning process could be affected.

Changes in technology may significantly affect the Registrants' generating business by making their generating facilities less competitive.

The Registrants generate electricity using fossil fuels at large central facilities. This method results in economies of scale and lower costs than newer technologies such as fuel cells, microturbines, windmills and photovoltaic solar cells. It is possible that advances in those technologies, or governmental incentives for renewable energies, will reduce their costs to levels that are equal to or below that of most central station electricity production.

The expected decommissioning and/or site remediation obligations of certain of the Registrants' generating facilities may negatively affect their cash flows.

Some of the Registrants' generating facilities and related properties are subject to decommissioning and/or site remediation obligations that may require material expenditures. Furthermore, laws and regulations may change to impose material additional decommissioning and remediation obligations on the Registrants in the future.

Terrorist attacks and/or cyber-attacks may result in the Registrants' inability to operate and fulfill their obligations, and could result in material repair costs.

As power generators, the Registrants face heightened risk of terrorism, including cyber terrorism, either by a direct act against one or more of their generating facilities or an act against the transmission and distribution infrastructure that is used to transport the power. Although the entire industry is exposed to these risks, the Registrants' generating facilities and the transmission and distribution infrastructure located in the PJM market are particularly at risk because of the proximity to major population centers, including governmental and commerce centers.

The Registrants rely on information technology networks and systems to operate their generating facilities, engage in asset management activities, and process, transmit and store electronic information. Security breaches of this information technology infrastructure, including cyber-attacks and cyber terrorism, could lead to system disruptions, generating facility shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information related to their employees, vendors and counterparties. Confidential information includes banking, vendor, counterparty and personal identity information.

Systemic damage to one or more of the Registrants' generating facilities and/or to the transmission and distribution infrastructure could result in the inability to operate in one or all of the markets the Registrants serve for an extended period of time. If the Registrants' generating facilities are shut down, they would be unable to respond to the ISOs and RTOs or fulfill their obligations under various energy and/or capacity arrangements, resulting in lost revenues and potential fines, penalties and other liabilities. Pervasive cyber-attacks across the industry could affect the ability of ISOs and RTOs to function in some regions. The cost to restore the Registrants' generating facilities after such an occurrence could be material.

The Registrants' operations are subject to hazards customary to the power generating industry. The Registrants may not have adequate insurance to cover all of these hazards.

Power generation involves hazardous activities, including acquiring, transporting and unloading fuel, operating large pieces of high-speed rotating equipment and delivering electricity to transmission and distribution systems. In addition to natural risks (such as earthquake, flood, storm surge, lightning, hurricane, tornado and wind), hazards (such as fire, explosion, collapse and machinery failure) are inherent risks in the Registrants' operations. The Registrants are also susceptible to terrorist attacks, including cyber-attacks, against their generating facilities or the transmission and distribution infrastructure that is used to transport their power. These hazards can cause significant injury to personnel or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property, plant and equipment, contamination of, or damage to, the environment and suspension of operations. The occurrence of any one of these events may result in one or more of the Registrants being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting claims for substantial damages, environmental cleanup costs, personal injury and fines and/or penalties. The Registrants do not maintain specialized insurance for possible liability resulting from a cyber-attack on their systems that may shut down all or part of the transmission and distribution system. However, the Registrants maintain an amount of insurance protection that they consider adequate and customary for merchant power producers. The Registrants cannot assure that their insurance will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all hazards or liabilities to which they may be subject.

Lawsuits, regulatory proceedings and tax proceedings could adversely affect the Registrants' future financial results.

From time to time, the Registrants are named as a party to, or their property is the subject of, lawsuits, regulatory proceedings or tax proceedings. The Registrants are currently involved in various proceedings which involve highly subjective matters with complex factual and legal questions. Their outcome is uncertain. Any claim that is successfully asserted against the Registrants could require significant expenditures by them. Even if the Registrants prevail, any proceedings could be costly and time-consuming, could divert the attention of management and key personnel from their business operations and could result in adverse changes in their insurance costs.

Risks Related to Economic and Financial Market Conditions

The Registrants are exposed to systemic risk of the financial markets and institutions and the risk of non-performance of the individual lenders under GenOn's undrawn credit facilities.

Maintaining sufficient liquidity in the Registrants' business for maintenance and operating expenditures, capital expenditures and collateral is crucial in order to mitigate the risk of future financial distress to the Registrants. Accordingly, GenOn maintains a revolving credit facility with NRG to manage its expected liquidity needs and contingencies.

A negative market perception of the Registrants' value could impair their ability to issue or refinance debt.

A sustained downturn in general economic conditions, including low power and commodity prices, could result in an actual or perceived weakness in the Registrants' overall financial health.

A negative market perception of the Registrants' value could result in their inability to obtain and maintain an appropriate credit rating. In this event, they may be unable to access debt markets or refinance future debt maturities, or they may be required to post additional collateral to operate their business.

As financial institutions consolidate and operate under more restrictive capital constraints and regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Act, there could be less liquidity in the energy and commodity markets for hedge transactions and fewer creditworthy counterparties.

The Registrants hedge economically a substantial portion of their PJM coal-fired generation and certain of their other generation. A significant portion of their hedges are financial swap transactions between GenOn Mid-Atlantic and financial counterparties that are senior unsecured obligations of such parties and do not require either party to post cash collateral, either for initial margin or for securing exposure as a result of changes in power or natural gas prices. Global financial institutions have been active participants in these energy and commodity markets. As global financial institutions consolidate and operate under more restrictive capital constraints and regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Act, there could be less liquidity in the energy and commodity markets, which could have a material adverse effect on the Registrants' ability to hedge economically and transact with creditworthy counterparties.

The Registrants' business is subject to substantial governmental regulation and may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, as well as liability under, or any future inability to comply with, existing or future regulations or requirements.

The Registrants' electric generation business is subject to extensive U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulation. Compliance with the requirements under these various regulatory regimes may cause the Registrants to incur significant additional costs, and failure to comply with such requirements could result in the shutdown of the non-complying facility, the imposition of liens, fines, and/or civil or criminal liability. Public utilities under the FPA are required to obtain FERC acceptance of their rate schedules for wholesale sales of electric energy, capacity and ancillary services. The Registrants' assets make wholesale sales of electric energy, capacity and ancillary services in interstate commerce and are public utilities for purposes of the FPA, unless otherwise exempt from such status. FERC's orders that grant market-based rate authority to wholesale power marketers reserve the right to revoke or revise that authority if FERC subsequently determines that the seller can exercise market power in transmission or generation, create barriers to entry, or engage in abusive affiliate transactions. In addition, public utilities are subject to FERC reporting requirements that impose administrative burdens and that, if violated, can expose such public utilities to criminal and civil penalties or other risks.

The Registrants' market-based sales will be subject to certain rules prohibiting manipulative or deceptive conduct, and if any of the Registrants' generating companies are deemed to have violated those rules, they will be subject to potential disgorgement of profits associated with the violation, penalties, suspension or revocation of market-based rate authority. If such generating companies were to lose their market-based rate authority, such companies would be required to obtain FERC's acceptance of a cost-of-service rate schedule and could become subject to the significant accounting, record-keeping, and reporting requirements that are imposed on utilities with cost-based rate schedules. This could have a material adverse effect on the rates the Registrants are able to charge for power from their facilities.

Most of the Registrants' assets are operating as Exempt Wholesale Generators as defined under the PUHCA, or Qualifying Facilities as defined under the PURPA, as amended, and therefore are exempt from certain regulation under the PUHCA and the PURPA. If a facility fails to maintain its status as an Exempt Wholesale Generator or a Qualifying Facility or there are legislative or regulatory changes revoking or limiting the exemptions to the PUHCA, then the Registrants may be subject to significant accounting, record-keeping, access to books and records and reporting requirements and failure to comply with such requirements could result in the imposition of penalties and additional compliance obligations.

Substantially all of the Registrants' generation assets are also subject to the reliability standards promulgated by the designated Electric Reliability Organization (currently the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, or NERC) and approved by FERC. If the Registrants fail to comply with the mandatory reliability standards, they could be subject to sanctions, including substantial monetary penalties and increased compliance obligations. The Registrants will also be affected by legislative and regulatory changes, as well as changes to market design, market rules, tariffs, cost allocations, and bidding rules that occur in the existing regional markets operated by RTOs or ISOs, such as PJM. The RTOs/ISOs that oversee most of the wholesale power markets impose, and in the future may continue to impose, mitigation, including price limitations, offer caps, and other mechanisms to address some of the volatility and the potential exercise of market power in these markets. These types of price limitations and other regulatory mechanisms may have a material adverse effect on the profitability of the Registrants' generation facilities acquired in the future that sell energy, capacity and ancillary products into the wholesale power markets. The regulatory environment for electric generation has undergone significant changes in the last several years due to state and federal policies affecting wholesale competition and the creation of incentives for the addition of large amounts of new renewable generation and, in some cases, transmission assets. These changes are ongoing, and the Registrants cannot predict the future design of the wholesale power markets or the ultimate effect that the changing regulatory environment will have on the Registrants' business. In addition, in some of these markets, interested parties have proposed to re-regulate the markets or require divestiture of electric generation assets by asset owners or operators to reduce their market share. Other proposals to re-regulate may be made and legislative or other attention to the electric power market restructuring process may delay or reverse the deregulation process. If competitive restructuring of the electric power markets is reversed, discontinued, or delayed, the Registrants' business prospects and financial results could be negatively impacted.

The CFTC, among other things, has regulatory authority over the trading of physical commodities, futures and other derivatives under the Commodity Exchange Act. The Dodd-Frank Act increased the CFTC's regulatory authority on matters related to futures and over-the-counter derivatives trading, including, but not limited to: trading practices, transaction reporting and recordkeeping, position limits, and market participant margin requirements. The Registrants have reached the conclusion that they are neither a swap dealer nor a major swap participant under the Dodd-Frank Act and have taken and will continue to take measures to otherwise comply with the Dodd-Frank Act.

The Registrants continuously monitor the ongoing efforts of the CFTC to implement the Dodd-Frank Act and to otherwise revise the rules and regulations applicable to the futures and over-the-counter derivatives markets. The CFTC’s remaining efforts in this regard concern, among other things, the implementation of the Volcker rule and of other new rules relating to margin collateral and position limits for futures and other derivatives. Such changes could negatively impact the Registrants’ ability to hedge their portfolio in an efficient, cost-effective manner by, among other things, potentially limiting the Registrants’ ability to utilize non-cash collateral for derivatives transactions and decreasing liquidity in the forward commodity and derivatives markets. The Registrants expect that, in 2015, the CFTC will further clarify the scope of the Dodd-Frank Act and issue additional final rules.

Many of the factors that cause changes in commodity prices are outside the Registrants' control and may materially increase their cost of producing power or lower the price at which they are able to sell their power.

The Registrants' generating business is subject to changes in power prices and fuel and emission costs, and these commodity prices are influenced by many factors outside the Registrants' control, including weather, seasonal variation in supply and demand, market liquidity, transmission and transportation inefficiencies, availability of competitively priced alternative energy sources, demand for energy commodities, production of natural gas, coal and crude oil, natural disasters, wars, embargoes and other catastrophic events, and federal, state and environmental regulation and legislation. In addition, significant fluctuations in the price of natural gas may cause significant fluctuations in the price of electricity. Significant fluctuations in commodity prices may affect the financial results and financial position by increasing the cost of producing power and decreasing the amounts the Registrants receive from the sale of power.

The Registrants' hedging activities will not fully protect them from fluctuations in commodity prices.

The Registrants engage in hedging activities related to sales of electricity and purchases of fuel and emission allowances. The income and losses from these activities are recorded as operating revenues and cost of operations. The Registrants may use forward contracts and other derivative financial instruments to manage market risk and exposure to volatility in prices of electricity, coal, natural gas, emissions and oil. The effectiveness of these hedges is dependent upon the correlation between the forward contracts and the other derivative financial instruments used as a hedge and the market risk of the asset or assets being hedged. The Registrants cannot provide assurance that these strategies will be successful in managing their price risks, or that they will not result in net losses to the Registrants as a result of future volatility in electricity, fuel and emission markets. Actual power prices and fuel costs may differ from expectations.

The Registrants hedging activities include natural gas derivative financial instruments that they use to hedge economically power prices for their baseload generation. The effectiveness of these hedges is dependent upon the correlation between power and natural gas prices in the markets where the Registrants operate. If those prices are not sufficiently correlated, the Registrants' financial results and financial position could be adversely affected.

Additionally, GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation expect to have an open position in the market, within their established guidelines, resulting from their fuel and emissions management activities. To the extent open positions exist, fluctuating commodity prices can affect their financial results and financial position, either favorably or unfavorably. As a result of these and other factors, the Registrants cannot predict the outcome that risk management decisions may have on their business, operating results or financial position. Although management devotes considerable attention to these issues, their outcome is uncertain.

The Registrants' policies and procedures cannot eliminate the risks associated with their hedging activities.

The risk management procedures the Registrants have in place may not always be followed or may not always work as planned. If any of the employees were able to violate the system of internal controls, including the risk management policy, and engage in unauthorized hedging and related activities, it could result in significant penalties and financial losses. In addition, risk management tools and metrics such as value at risk, gross margin at risk, and stress testing are partially based on historic price movements. If price movements significantly or persistently deviate from historical behavior, risk limits may not fully protect the Registrants from significant losses.

The Registrants' hedging and GenOn Americas Generation's fuel oil management activities may increase the volatility of the U.S. GAAP financial results.

Derivatives from the Registrants' hedging and GenOn Americas Generation's fuel oil management activities are recorded on the balance sheets at fair value pursuant to the accounting guidance for derivative financial instruments. None of the Registrants' derivatives that are recorded at fair value are designated as hedges under this guidance, and changes in their fair values currently are recognized in earnings as unrealized gains or losses. As a result, the Registrants' U.S. GAAP financial results — including gross margin, operating income and balance sheet ratios — will, at times, be volatile and subject to fluctuations in value primarily because of changes in forward electricity and fuel prices.

Risks Related to Governmental Regulation and Laws

The Registrants costs of compliance with environmental laws are significant and can affect their future operations and financial results.

The Registrants are subject to extensive and evolving environmental laws, particularly in regard to their coal-fired facilities. Environmental laws, particularly with respect to air emissions, disposal of ash, wastewater discharge and cooling water systems, are generally becoming more stringent, which may require the Registrants to install controls or restrict their operations. Failure to comply with environmental requirements could require the Registrants to shut down or reduce production at their facilities or create liabilities. The Registrants incur significant costs in complying with these regulations and, if they fail to comply, could incur significant penalties. The Registrants' cost estimates for environmental compliance are based on existing regulations or their view of reasonably likely regulations and their assessment of the costs of labor and materials and the state of evolving technologies. The Registrants' decision to make these investments is often subject to future market conditions. Changes to the preceding factors, new or revised environmental regulations, litigation and new legislation and/or regulations, as well as other factors, could cause their actual costs to vary outside the range of their estimates, further constrain their operations, increase their environmental compliance costs and/or make it uneconomical to operate some of their facilities.

Federal, state and regional initiatives to regulate GHG emissions could have a material impact on the Registrants' financial performance and condition. The actual impact will depend on a number of factors, including the overall level of GHG reductions required under any such regulations, the final form of the regulations or legislation, and the price and availability of emission allowances if allowances are a part of any final regulatory framework.

The Registrants are required to surrender emission allowances equal to emissions of specific substances to operate their facilities. Surrender requirements may require purchase of allowances, which may be unavailable or only available at costs that would make it uneconomical to operate their facilities.

Certain environmental laws, including the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and comparable state laws, impose strict and, in many circumstances, joint and several liability for costs of remediating contamination. Some of the Registrants' facilities have areas with known soil and/or groundwater contamination. The Registrants could be required to spend significant sums to remediate contamination, regardless of whether they caused such contamination, (a) if there are releases or discoveries of hazardous substances at their generating facilities, at disposal sites they currently use or have used, or at other locations for which they may be liable, or (b) if parties contractually responsible to them for contamination fail to or are unable to respond when claims or obligations regarding such contamination arise.

The Registrants' coal-fired generating units produce certain byproducts that involve extensive handling and disposal costs and are subject to government regulation. Changes in these regulations, or their administration, by legislatures, state and federal regulatory agencies, or other bodies may affect the costs of handling and disposing of these byproducts.

As a result of the coal combustion process, the Registrants produce significant quantities of ash at their coal-fired generating units that must be disposed of at sites permitted to handle ash. One of the Registrants' landfills in Maryland has reached design capacity and it is expected that another site in Maryland may reach full capacity in the next few years. As a result, the Registrants are developing new ash management facilities and have constructed a facility to prepare ash from certain of the Maryland facilities for beneficial uses. However, the costs associated with developing new ash management facilities could be material, and the amount of time to complete such developments could extend beyond the time when new facilities are needed. Likewise, the new facility for preparing ash for beneficial uses may not operate as expected; or the ash may not be marketed and sold as expected. Additionally, costs associated with third-party ash handling and disposal are material and could have an adverse effect on the Registrants' financial performance and condition.

The Registrants also produce gypsum as a byproduct of the SO₂ scrubbing process at their coal-fired generating facilities, much of which is sold to third parties for use in drywall production. Should their ability to sell such gypsum to third parties be restricted as a result of the lack of demand or otherwise, their gypsum disposal costs could rise materially.

The EPA has proposed two alternatives for regulating byproducts such as ash and gypsum. Under the first proposal, these byproducts would be regulated as solid wastes. Under the second proposal, these byproducts would have been regulated as “special wastes” in a manner similar to the regulation of hazardous waste with an exception for certain types of beneficial use of these byproducts. If these byproducts are regulated as special wastes, the cost of disposing of these byproducts would increase materially and may limit the Registrants' ability to recycle them for beneficial use.

The Registrants' business is subject to complex government regulations. Changes in these regulations, or their administration, by legislatures, state and federal regulatory agencies, or other bodies may affect the prices at which the Registrants are able to sell the electricity they produce, the costs of operating their generating facilities or their ability to operate their facilities.

The majority of the Registrants' generation is sold at market prices under market-based rate authority granted by FERC. If certain conditions are not met, FERC has the authority to withhold or rescind market-based rate authority and require sales to be made based on cost-of-service rates. A loss of the Registrants' market-based rate authority could have a materially negative impact on their generating business.

Even when market-based rate authority has been granted, FERC may impose various forms of market mitigation measures, including price caps and operating restrictions, when it determines that potential market power might exist and that the public interest requires such potential market power to be mitigated. In addition to direct regulation by FERC, most of the Registrants' facilities are subject to rules and terms of participation imposed and administered by various ISOs and RTOs. Although these entities are themselves ultimately regulated by FERC, they can impose rules, restrictions and terms of service that are quasi-regulatory in nature and can have a material adverse impact on the Registrants' business. For example, ISOs and RTOs may impose bidding and scheduling rules, both to curb the potential exercise of market power and to ensure market functions. Such actions may materially affect the Registrants' ability to sell and the price they receive for their energy, capacity and ancillary services.

To conduct the Registrants' business, they must obtain and periodically renew licenses, permits and approvals for their facilities. These licenses, permits and approvals can be in addition to any required environmental permits. No assurance can be provided that they will be able to obtain and comply with all necessary licenses, permits and approvals for these facilities.

Conflicts may occur between reliability needs and environmental rules, particularly with increasingly stringent environmental restrictions. Without a consent decree or adjustments to permit requirements, which require long lead times to obtain, the Registrants remain subject to environmental penalties or liabilities that may occur as a result of operating in compliance with reliability requirements. Further, the Registrants could be subject to citizen suits in these types of circumstances, even if they have received a consent decree or permit adjustment exempting them from environmental requirements.

The Registrants cannot predict whether the federal or state legislatures will adopt legislation relating to the restructuring of the energy industry. There are proposals in many jurisdictions that would either roll back or advance the movement toward competitive markets for the supply of electricity, at both the wholesale and retail levels. In addition, any future legislation favoring large, vertically integrated utilities and a concentration of ownership of such utilities could affect the Registrants' ability to compete successfully, and their business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Similarly, any regulations or laws that favor new generation over existing generation could adversely affect their business.

Risks Related to Level of Indebtedness

The Registrants' substantial indebtedness and operating lease obligations could limit their ability to react to changes in the economy or the industry and prevent them from meeting or refinancing their obligations.

At December 31, 2014, GenOn's consolidated indebtedness was $3.1 billion, GenOn Americas Generation's consolidated indebtedness was $934 million and GenOn Mid-Atlantic's consolidated indebtedness was $5 million. In addition, the present values of lease payments under the respective GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA operating leases were approximately $714 million and $397 million, respectively (assuming a 10% and 9.4% discount rate, respectively) and the termination values of the respective GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA operating leases were $978 million and $672 million, respectively.

The Registrants' substantial indebtedness and operating lease obligations could have important consequences for their liquidity, results of operations, financial position and prospects, including their ability to grow in accordance with their strategies. These consequences include the following:


•	they may limit their ability to obtain additional debt for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes;


•	a substantial portion of their cash flows from operations must be dedicated to the payment of rent and principal and interest on their indebtedness and will not be available for other purposes, including for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;


•	the debt service requirements of their indebtedness and their lease obligations could make it difficult for them to satisfy or refinance their financial obligations;


•	certain of the Registrants' borrowings, including borrowings under the NRG credit agreement, are at variable rates of interest, exposing the Registrants to the risk of increased interest rates;


•	they may limit their flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry;


•	they may place the Registrants at a competitive disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors;


•	GenOn's and GenOn Americas Generation's credit agreement with NRG contains restrictive covenants that limit their ability to engage in activities that may be in their long-term best interest; and


•	the Registrants may be more vulnerable in a downturn in general economic conditions or in their business and they may be unable to carry out capital expenditures that are important to their long-term growth or necessary to comply with environmental regulations.

GenOn and its subsidiaries that are holding companies, including GenOn Americas Generation, may not have access to sufficient cash to meet their obligations if their subsidiaries, in particular GenOn Mid-Atlantic, are unable to make distributions.

GenOn and certain of its subsidiaries, including GenOn Americas Generation and NRG Americas, are holding companies and, as a result, are dependent upon dividends, distributions and other payments from their operating subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet their obligations. In particular, a substantial portion of the cash from their operations is generated by GenOn Mid-Atlantic. The ability of certain of their subsidiaries to pay dividends and make distributions is restricted under the terms of their debt or other agreements, including the operating leases of GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA. Under their respective operating leases, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA are not permitted to make any distributions and other restricted payments unless: (a) they satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters; (b) they are projected to satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio for each of the two following periods of four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter in which such payment is proposed to be made; and (c) no significant lease default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. In the event of a default under the respective operating leases or if the respective restricted payment tests are not satisfied, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA would not be able to distribute cash. At December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA did not satisfy the restricted payments test.

Each of GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation may be unable to generate sufficient cash to service their debt and leases and to post required amounts of cash collateral necessary to hedge economically market risk.

The ability of each of GenOn or GenOn Americas Generation to pay principal and interest on their debt and the rent on their leases depends on their future operating performance. If their cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to allow them to make scheduled payments on their debt, GenOn or GenOn Americas Generation may have to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, restructure or refinance. There can be no assurance that the terms of their debt or leases will allow these alternative measures, that the financial markets will be available to them on acceptable terms or that such measures would satisfy their scheduled debt service and lease rent obligations. If either GenOn or GenOn Americas Generation do not comply with the payment and other material covenants under their debt and lease agreements, they could default under their debt or leases.

The Registrants' asset management activities may require them to post collateral either in the form of cash or letters of credit. Although the Registrants seek to structure transactions in a way that reduces their potential liquidity needs for collateral, they may be unable to execute their hedging strategy successfully if they are unable to post the amount of collateral required to enter into and support hedging contracts.

GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation are active participants in energy exchange and clearing markets, which require a per-contract initial margin to be posted. The initial margins are determined by the exchanges through the use of proprietary models that rely on a variety of inputs and factors, including market conditions. They have limited notice of any changes to the margin rates. Consequently, they are exposed to changes in the per unit margin rates required by the exchanges and could be required to post additional collateral on short notice.

The terms of the Registrants' credit facilities and leases restrict their current and future operations, particularly their ability to respond to changes or take certain actions.

The Registrants' credit facilities and leases contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on them and may limit their ability to engage in acts that may be in their long-term best interest, including restrictions on their ability to:

•incur additional indebtedness;

•pay dividends or make other distributions;

•prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;

•make loans and investments;

•sell assets;

•incur liens;

•enter into transactions with affiliates;

•enter into sale-leaseback transactions; and

•consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets.

(a)	Actual capacity can vary depending on factors including weather conditions, operational conditions, and other factors.


(b)	On November 29, 2013, NRG submitted a notice of deactivation to retire Chalk Point Units 1 and 2 and Dickerson Units 1, 2, and 3 on May 31, 2017.

	As of December 31,
	2014		2013
	(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents (GenOn excluding GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA)	$	441	$	566

Total	920		777
Credit facility availability	263		151
Total liquidity	$	1,183	$	928

(a) At December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA did not satisfy the restricted payment tests and therefore, could not use such funds to distribute cash and make other restricted payments.

Management believes that the Registrants' liquidity position and cash flows from operations will be adequate to finance operating, maintenance and capital expenditures and to fund debt service obligations and other liquidity commitments. Management continues to regularly monitor the Registrants' ability to finance the needs of its operating, financing and investing activity within the dictates of prudent balance sheet management. See additional information related to the Registrants' debt in Item 15 - Note 10, Debt and Capital Leases, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Restricted Payments Tests

Of the $920 million of cash and cash equivalents of the Registrants' as of December 31, 2014, $157 million and $322 million were held by GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA, respectively. The ability of certain of GenOn’s and GenOn Americas Generation’s subsidiaries to pay dividends and make distributions is restricted under the terms of certain agreements, including the GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA operating leases. Under their respective operating leases, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA are not permitted to make any distributions and other restricted payments unless: (a) they satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters; (b) they are projected to satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio for each of the two following periods of four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter in which such payment is proposed to be made; and (c) no significant lease default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. In addition, prior to making a dividend or other restricted payment, REMA must be in compliance with the requirement to provide credit support to the owner lessors securing its obligation to pay scheduled rent under its leases. Based on GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s and REMA’s most recent calculations of these tests, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA did not satisfy the restricted payments tests. As a result, as of December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA could not make distributions of cash and certain other restricted payments. Each of GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA may recalculate its fixed charge coverage ratios from time to time and, subject to compliance with the restricted payments test described above, make dividends or other restricted payments.

To the extent GenOn Mid-Atlantic or REMA are able to pay dividends to GenOn, the GenOn Senior Notes due 2018 and 2020 and the related indentures restrict the ability of GenOn to incur additional liens and make certain restricted payments, including dividends. In the event of a default or if restricted payment tests are not satisfied, GenOn would not be able to distribute cash to its parent, NRG. At December 31, 2014, GenOn met the consolidated debt ratio component of the restricted payments test.

Credit Ratings

Credit rating agencies rate a firm's public debt securities. These ratings are utilized by the debt markets in evaluating a firm's credit risk. Ratings influence the price paid to issue new debt securities by indicating to the market the Registrants' ability to pay principal and interest. Rating agencies evaluate a firm's industry, cash flow, leverage, liquidity, and hedge profile, among other factors, in their credit analysis of a firm's credit risk.

On October 20, 2014, Standard & Poor’s lowered the issue ratings on the pass-through certificates of GenOn Mid-Atlantic.

The following table summarizes the Registrants' credit ratings as of December 31, 2014:



	S&P	Moody's
GenOn 7.875% Senior Notes, due 2017	B	B3
GenOn 9.500% Senior Notes, due 2018	B	B3
GenOn 9.875% Senior Notes, due 2020	B	B3
GenOn Americas Generation 8.500% Senior Notes, due 2021	B	Caa1
GenOn Americas Generation 9.125% Senior Notes, due 2031	B	Caa1

Source of Liquidity

The principal sources of liquidity for the Registrants' future operating and capital expenditures are expected to be derived from existing cash on hand and cash flows from operations. The Registrants' operating cash flows may be effected by, among other things, demand for electricity, the difference between the cost of fuel used to generate electricity and the market value of the electricity generated, commodity prices (including prices for electricity, emissions allowances, natural gas, coal and oil), operations and maintenance expenses in the ordinary course, planned and unplanned outages, terms with trade creditors, cash requirements for capital expenditures relating to certain facilities (including those necessary to comply with environmental regulations) and the potential impact of future environmental regulations.

Uses of Liquidity

The Registrants' requirements for liquidity and capital resources, other than for operating its facilities, can generally be categorized by the following: (i) debt service obligations, as described more fully in Item 15 — Note 10, Debt and Capital Leases, to the Consolidated Financial Statements; (ii) capital expenditures, including maintenance and environmental; and (iii) payments under the GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA operating leases.

Capital Expenditures

The following tables and descriptions summarize the Registrant's capital expenditures, excluding accruals, for maintenance, environmental, and growth for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the estimated capital expenditure forecast for 2015.



	Maintenance	Environmental	Growth	Total

(a) The Registrants had no estimated environmental capital expenditures for years 2018 and 2019.

Operating Leases

GenOn Mid-Atlantic leases 100% interest in both the Dickerson and Morgantown coal units and associated property through 2029 and 2034, respectively, and has an option to extend the leases. Any extensions of the respective leases would be for less than 75% of the economic useful life of the facility, as measured from the beginning of the original lease term through the end of the proposed remaining lease term. The leases are accounted for as operating leases. Although there is variability in the scheduled payment amounts over the lease term, rent expense is recognized for these leases on a straight-line basis. The scheduled payment amounts for the leases are $110 million and $150 million for 2015 and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the total notional minimum lease payments for the remaining term of the leases aggregated $1.2 billion and the aggregate termination value for the leases was approximately $978 million and generally decreases over time. In addition, the present value of lease payments at December 31, 2014, was approximately $714 million (assuming a 10% discount rate). NRG provides letters of credit in support of GenOn Mid-Atlantic's lease obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the greatest of the next six months scheduled rent payments, 50% of the next 12 months scheduled rent payments or $83 million.

REMA leases 16.45% and 16.67% interests in the Conemaugh and Keystone coal facilities, respectively through 2034 and expects to make payments through 2029. REMA also leases a 100% interest in the Shawville coal facility through 2026 and expects to make payments through that date. At the expiration of these leases, there are several renewal options related to fair value. The leases are accounted for as operating leases. The scheduled payment amounts for the REMA leases are $56 million and $61 million for 2015 and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the total notional minimum lease payments for the remaining term of the leases aggregated $634 million and the aggregate termination value for the leases was approximately $672 million and generally decreases over time. In addition, the present value of lease payments at December 31, 2014 was approximately $397 million (assuming a 9.4% discount rate). NRG provides letters of credit in support of REMA's lease obligations to post rent reserves in an aggregate amount equal to the greater of the next six months scheduled rent payment or 50% of the next 12 months scheduled rent payments.

Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

The Registrants are exposed to several market risks in their normal business activities. Market risk is the potential loss that may result from market changes associated with the Registrants’ merchant power generation or with an existing or forecasted financial or commodity transaction. The types of risks the Registrants are exposed to are commodity price risk, interest rate risk and credit and performance risk. In order to manage commodity price and interest rate risks, the Registrants use various fixed-price forward purchase and sales contracts, futures and option contracts traded on NYMEX, and swaps and options traded in the over-the-counter financial markets to:


•	Manage and hedge fixed-price purchase and sales commitments;


•	Manage and hedge exposure to variable rate debt obligations;


•	Reduce exposure to the volatility of cash market prices; and


•	Hedge fuel requirements for the Registrants’ generating facilities.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risks result from exposures to changes in spot prices, forward prices, volatilities, and correlations between various commodities, such as natural gas, electricity, coal, oil, and emission credits. The Registrants manage the commodity price risk of their merchant generation operations by entering into various derivative or non-derivative instruments to hedge the variability in future cash flows from forecasted sales and purchases of electricity and fuel. These instruments include forwards, futures, swaps, and option contracts traded on various exchanges, such as NYMEX and Intercontinental Exchange, or ICE, as well as over-the-counter markets. The portion of forecasted transactions hedged may vary based upon management's assessment of market, weather, operation and other factors.

While some of the contracts the Registrants use to manage risk represent commodities or instruments for which prices are available from external sources, other commodities and certain contracts are not actively traded and are valued using other pricing sources and modeling techniques to determine expected future market prices, contract quantities, or both. The Registrants use their best estimates to determine the fair value of those derivative contracts. However, it is likely that future market prices could vary from those used in recording mark-to-market derivative instrument valuation, and such variations could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2014, GenOn's debt fair value was $2.7 billion and the carrying value was $3.1 billion. GenOn estimates that a 1% decrease in market interest rates would have increased the fair value of its long-term debt by $221 million. As of December 31, 2014, GenOn Americas Generation's debt fair value was $720 million and the carrying value was $929 million. GenOn Americas Generation estimates that a 1% decrease in market interest rates would have increased the fair value of its long-term debt by $120 million.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. The Registrants monitor and manage credit risk through credit policies that include: (i) an established credit approval process; (ii) a daily monitoring of counterparties' credit limits; (iii) the use of credit mitigation measures such as margin, collateral, prepayment arrangements, or volumetric limits; (iv) the use of payment netting agreements; and (v) the use of master netting agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures of various contracts associated with a single counterparty. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. The Registrants seek to mitigate counterparty risk by having a diversified portfolio of counterparties. The Registrants also have credit protection within various agreements to call on additional collateral support if and when necessary. Cash margin is collected and held at the Registrants to cover the credit risk of the counterparty until positions settle.

As of December 31, 2014, counterparty credit exposure to a significant portion of GenOn’s counterparties was $450 million and GenOn held $1 million of collateral against these positions, resulting in a net exposure of $450 million. Approximately 90% of GenOn's exposure before collateral is expected to roll off by the end of 2016. GenOn Americas Generation’s counterparty credit exposure to a significant portion of counterparties was $445 million and GenOn Americas Generation held $1 million of collateral against those positions, resulting in a net exposure of $445 million. Approximately 90% of GenOn Americas Generation’s exposure before collateral is expected to roll off by the end of 2016. GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s counterparty credit exposure to a significant portion of counterparties was $107 million and GenOn Mid-Atlantic held no collateral (cash or letters of credit) against those positions, resulting in a net exposure of $107 million. Approximately $107 million of GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s exposure before collateral is expected to roll off by the end of 2015.

The following tables highlight the credit quality and the net counterparty credit exposure by industry sector. Net counterparty credit exposure is defined as the aggregate net asset position for the Registrants with counterparties where netting is permitted under the enabling agreement and includes all cash flow, mark-to-market and NPNS, and non-derivative transactions. As of December 31, 2014, the exposure is shown net of collateral held and includes amounts net of receivables or payables.

GenOn has counterparty credit risk exposure to certain counterparties representing more than 10% of total net exposure discussed above and the aggregate of such counterparties was $361 million. Changes in hedge positions and market prices will affect credit exposure and counterparty concentration. Given the credit quality, diversification and term of the exposure in the portfolio, GenOn does not anticipate a material impact on its financial position or results of operations from nonperformance by any of its counterparties.

Given the credit quality, diversification and term of the exposure in the portfolio, GenOn Mid-Atlantic does not anticipate a material impact on its financial position or results of operations from nonperformance by any of its counterparties.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

Certain of the Registrants’ hedging agreements contain provisions that require the Registrants to post additional collateral if the counterparty determines that there has been deterioration in credit quality, generally termed "adequate assurance" under the agreements, or require the Registrants to post additional collateral if there were a one notch downgrade in the Registrants’ credit rating. The collateral required for contracts that have adequate assurance clauses that are in net liability positions as of December 31, 2014, was $21 million for GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation. The collateral required for contracts with credit rating contingent features that are in a net liability position as of December 31, 2014, was $1 million for GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation. In addition, GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation are parties to certain marginable agreements under which they have net liability positions, but the counterparties have not called for collateral due, which is approximately $10 million as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic did not have any financial instruments with credit risk related contingent features.

The financial statements and schedules of the Registrants are listed in Part IV, Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Item 9 — Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

Item 9A — Controls and Procedures (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrants’ management, including principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, the Registrants conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Registrants’ principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Management's reports on the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting are incorporated under the caption "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting" of the Registrants’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

The Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:


1.	Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Registrants’ assets;

2. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that the Registrants’ receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and

3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Registrants’ assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Registrants’ management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrants’ management, including their principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, the Registrants conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the Registrants’ evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), the Registrants’ management concluded that their internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

GenOn Energy, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GenOn Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), cash flows, and stockholder’s equity for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014 and the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012 (Predecessor).

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GenOn Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014 and the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012 (Predecessor) in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Nature of Business (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

General

GenOn Energy, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG, is a wholesale generator engaged in the ownership and operation of power generation facilities, with approximately 19,529 MW of net electric generating capacity located in the U.S.

GenOn Americas Generation is a wholesale generator with approximately 7,596 MW of net electric generating capacity located, in many cases, near major metropolitan areas. GenOn Americas Generation's electric generating capacity is part of the 19,529 MW of net electric generating capacity of GenOn.

GenOn Mid-Atlantic operates and owns or leases 4,683 MW of net electric generating capacity in Maryland, near Washington, D.C. GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s electric generating capacity is part of the 7,596 MW of net electric generating capacity of GenOn Americas Generation. GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s generating facilities serve the Eastern PJM markets.

GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic are Delaware limited liability companies and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of GenOn. GenOn Mid-Atlantic is a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG North America and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of GenOn Americas Generation.

GenOn's generation facilities consist of baseload, intermediate and peaking power generation facilities. The following table summarizes the generation portfolio by Registrant:



	(In MW)
Generation Type	GenOn	GenOn Americas Generation	GenOn Mid-Atlantic
Natural gas	11,730	3,729	1,942
Coal	5,740	2,433	2,433
Oil	2,059	1,434	308
Total generation capacity	19,529	7,596	4,683

The Registrants sell power from their generation portfolio and offer capacity or similar products to retail electric providers and others, and provide ancillary services to support system reliability.

NRG Merger

On December 14, 2012, NRG completed the acquisition of GenOn with GenOn continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG. The NRG Merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Fair value adjustments related to the NRG Merger have been pushed down to GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic, resulting in certain assets and liabilities of the Registrants being recorded at fair value at December 15, 2012. See Note 3, NRG Merger and Dispositions, for further discussion.

The Registrants’ consolidated statements of operations subsequent to the NRG Merger include amortization expense relating to fair value adjustments and depreciation expense based on the fair value of the Registrants’ property, plant and equipment. In addition, effective with the NRG Merger, the Registrants adopted accounting policies of NRG. Therefore, the Registrants' financial information prior to the NRG Merger is not comparable to its financial information subsequent to the NRG Merger.

As a result of the impact of pushdown accounting, the financial statements and certain note presentations separate the Registrants' presentations into two distinct periods, the period before the consummation of the NRG Merger (labeled predecessor) and the period after that date (labeled successor), to indicate the application of different basis of accounting between the periods presented.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

This is a combined annual report of the Registrants. The notes to the consolidated financial statements apply to the Registrants as indicated parenthetically next to each corresponding disclosure.

The Registrants' consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The ASC, established by the FASB, is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. In addition, the rules and interpretative releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.

The consolidated financial statements include the Registrants' accounts and operations and those of their subsidiaries in which the Registrants have a controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority of the voting interests of an entity. However, a controlling financial interest may also exist through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests. As such, the Registrants apply the guidance of ASC 810, Consolidations, or ASC 810, to determine when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through its voting interests, referred to as a VIE, should be consolidated.

Predecessor and Successor Reporting

On December 14, 2012, NRG completed the acquisition of GenOn with GenOn continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG. The NRG Merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Fair value adjustments related to the NRG Merger have been pushed down to GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation, and GenOn Mid-Atlantic, resulting in certain assets and liabilities of the Registrants being recorded at fair value at December 15, 2012. See Note 3, NRG Merger and Dispositions, for further discussion.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Funds Deposited by Counterparties (GenOn)

Funds deposited by counterparties consist of cash held by GenOn as a result of collateral posting obligations from GenOn's counterparties. Some amounts are segregated into separate accounts that are not contractually restricted but, based on GenOn's intentions, are not available for the payment of general corporate obligations. Depending on market fluctuations and the settlement of the underlying contracts, GenOn will refund this collateral to the hedge counterparties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underlying trades. Since collateral requirements fluctuate daily and GenOn cannot predict if any collateral will be held for more than twelve months, the funds deposited by counterparties are classified as a current asset on GenOn's balance sheets, with an offsetting liability for this cash collateral received within current liabilities. Changes in funds deposited by counterparties are closely associated with GenOn's operating activities and are classified as an operating activity in GenOn's consolidated statements of cash flows.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of funds held to satisfy the requirements of certain debt agreements and funds held within the Registrants' projects that are restricted in their use. These funds are used to pay for current operating expenses and current debt service payments.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market, and consists principally of fuel oil, coal and raw materials used to generate electricity or steam. The Registrants remove these inventories as they are used in the production of electricity or steam. Spare parts inventory is valued at a weighted average cost, since the Registrants expect to recover these costs in the ordinary course of business. The Registrants remove these inventories when they are used for repairs, maintenance or capital projects. Sales of inventory are classified as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Registrants recorded a lower of weighted average cost or market adjustment related to fuel oil of $12 million related to GenOn, of which $9 million relates to GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost; however impairment adjustments are recorded whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Significant additions or improvements extending asset lives are capitalized as incurred, while repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend the life of the respective asset are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Certain assets and their related accumulated depreciation amounts are adjusted for asset retirements and disposals with the resulting gain or loss included in cost of operations in the consolidated statements of operations.

Asset Impairments

Long-lived assets that are held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate carrying values may not be recoverable. Such reviews are performed in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. An impairment loss is recognized if the total future estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from an asset are less than its carrying value. An impairment charge is measured by the difference between an asset's carrying amount and fair value with the difference recorded in operating costs and expenses in the statements of operations. Fair values are determined by a variety of valuation methods, including appraisals, sales prices of similar assets and present value techniques.

For further discussion of these matters, refer to Note 9, Impairments.

Project Development Costs and Capitalized Interest (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation)

Project development costs are expensed in the preliminary stages of a project and capitalized when the project is deemed to be commercially viable. Commercial viability is determined by one or a series of actions including, among others, Board of Director approval pursuant to a formal project plan that subjects the Registrants to significant future obligations that can only be discharged by the use of an asset of the Registrants.

Interest incurred on funds borrowed to finance capital projects is capitalized until the project under construction is ready for its intended use. The amounts of interest capitalized were as follows:



	Successor						Predecessor
	Year Ended December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2013		December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012		January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012
	(In millions)						(In millions)
GenOn	$	11	$	21	$	2	$	35
GenOn Americas Generation	1		2		—		3

When a project is available for operations, capitalized interest and project development costs are reclassified to property, plant and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the project's related assets. Capitalized costs are charged to expense if a project is abandoned or management otherwise determines the costs to be unrecoverable.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets represent contractual rights held by the Registrants. The Registrants recognize specifically identifiable intangible assets when specific rights and contracts are acquired. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Registrants' intangible assets are comprised of SO₂ emission allowances and CO₂ emission credits held for compliance with RGGI that are held-for-use and are amortized to cost of operations based on straight line or units of production basis. The following table presents the Registrants’ amortization of intangible assets for each of the past three years:



	Successor						Predecessor
	Year Ended December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2013		December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012		January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012
	(In millions)						(In millions)
GenOn	$	38	$	25	$	1	$	5
GenOn Americas Generation	33		21		1		3
GenOn Mid-Atlantic	29		18		—		—

The following table presents estimated amortization of the Registrants’ intangible assets for each of the next five years:



	GenOn		GenOn Americas Generation		GenOn Mid-Atlantic
	(In millions)
2015	$	44	$	44	$	35
2016	46		46		39
2017	46		46		40
2018	44		44		39
2019	43		43		38

Emission allowances held-for-sale, which are included in other non-current assets on the Registrants' consolidated balance sheets, are not amortized; they are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.

Out of Market Contracts

In connection with the NRG Merger, acquired out-of-market contracts were pushed down to the Registrants, as applicable, and primarily relate to GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA leases and long-term natural gas transportation and storage contracts. These out-of-market contracts are amortized to operating revenues and cost of operations, as applicable, based on the nature of the contracts and over their contractual lives. The following table presents the Registrants' amortization of out-of-market contracts for each of the past three years:



	Successor						Predecessor
	Year Ended December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2013		December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012		January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012

2019	68		28		28

Income Taxes

GenOn

GenOn is a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG that exists as a corporate regarded entity for income tax purposes. As a result, GenOn, NRG Americas and NRG have direct liability for the majority of the federal and state income taxes resulting from GenOn's operations. GenOn has allocated income taxes as if it were a single consolidated taxpayer using the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, which requires that GenOn use the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and provide deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences.

GenOn has two categories of income tax expense or benefit - current and deferred, as follows:

•Current income tax expense or benefit consists solely of current taxes payable less applicable tax credits, and

•Deferred income tax expense or benefit is the change in the net deferred income tax asset or liability, excluding amounts charged or credited to accumulated other comprehensive income.

GenOn reports some of its revenues and expenses differently for financial statement purposes than for income tax return purposes, resulting in temporary and permanent differences between its financial statements and income tax returns. The tax effects of such temporary differences are recorded as either deferred income tax assets or deferred income tax liabilities in GenOn's consolidated balance sheets. GenOn measures its deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using income tax rates that are currently in effect. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce GenOn's net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

The determination of a valuation allowance requires significant judgment as to the generation of taxable income during future periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. In making this determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence affecting specific deferred tax assets, including GenOn's past and anticipated future performance, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and the implementation of tax planning strategies.

GenOn accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which applies to all tax positions related to income taxes. Under ASC 740, tax benefits are recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the authorities. The benefit recognized from a position that has surpassed the more-likely-than-not threshold is the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. GenOn recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

GenOn Americas Generation

GenOn Americas Generation and most of its subsidiaries are limited liability companies that are treated as branches of GenOn Americas for income tax purposes. As a result, NRG Americas, GenOn and NRG have direct liability for the majority of the federal and state income taxes relating to GenOn Americas Generation's operations. Several of GenOn Americas Generation's subsidiaries exist as regarded corporate entities for income tax purposes. For the subsidiaries that continue to exist as corporate regarded entities, GenOn Americas Generation allocates current and deferred income taxes to each corporate regarded entity as if such entity were a single taxpayer utilizing the asset and liability method to account for income taxes.

GenOn Americas Generation reports some of its revenues and expenses differently for financial statement purposes than for income tax return purposes, resulting in temporary and permanent differences between its financial statements and income tax returns. The tax effects of such temporary differences are recorded as either deferred income tax assets or deferred income tax liabilities in GenOn Americas Generation's consolidated balance sheets. GenOn Americas Generation measures its deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using income tax rates that are currently in effect. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce GenOn Americas Generation's net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized.

The determination of a valuation allowance requires significant judgment as to the generation of taxable income during future periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. In making this determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence affecting specific deferred tax assets, including GenOn Americas Generation's past and anticipated future performance, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and the implementation of tax planning strategies.

GenOn Americas Generation accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which applies to all tax positions related to income taxes. Under ASC 740, tax benefits are recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the authorities. The benefit recognized from a position that has surpassed the more-likely-than-not threshold is the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. GenOn Americas Generation recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

GenOn Mid-Atlantic

GenOn Mid-Atlantic and GenOn Mid-Atlantic's subsidiaries are limited liability companies that are treated as branches of NRG Americas for income tax purposes. As such, GenOn, NRG Americas and NRG have direct liability for the majority of the federal and state income taxes relating to GenOn Mid-Atlantic's operations.

Revenue Recognition

Energy — Both physical and financial transactions are entered into to optimize the financial performance of the Registrants' generating facilities. Electric energy revenue is recognized upon transmission to the customer. Physical transactions, or the sale of generated electricity to meet supply and demand, are recorded on a gross basis in the Registrants’ consolidated statements of operations. Financial transactions, or the buying and selling of energy for trading purposes, are recorded net within operating revenues in the consolidated statements of operations in accordance with ASC 815.

Capacity — Capacity revenues are recognized when contractually earned, and consist of revenues billed to a third party at either the market or a negotiated contract price for making installed generation capacity available in order to satisfy system integrity and reliability requirements.

Natural Gas Sales (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation) — GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation record revenues from the sales of natural gas under the accrual method. These sales are sold at market-based prices. Sales that have been delivered but not billed by period end are estimated.

PPAs (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation) — Certain of GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation's revenues are currently obtained through PPAs or other contractual arrangements. All of these PPAs are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Leases, or ASC 840. ASC 840 requires minimum lease payments received to be amortized over the term of the lease and contingent rentals are recorded when the achievement of the contingency becomes probable. These leases have no minimum lease payments and all the rent is recorded as contingent rent on an actual basis when the electricity is delivered.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Registrants account for derivative financial instruments under ASC 815, which requires the Registrants to record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value unless they qualify for a NPNS exception. Changes in the fair value of non-hedge derivatives are immediately recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as hedges, if elected for hedge accounting, are either:

•Recognized in earnings as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the related hedged assets, liabilities and firm commitments; and

•Deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated OCI until the hedge transactions occur and are recognized in earnings.

The Registrants’ primary derivative instruments are financial power and natural gas contracts, fuels purchase contracts, other energy related commodities, and interest rate instruments used to mitigate variability in earnings due to fluctuations in market prices and interest rates. On an ongoing basis, the Registrants assess the effectiveness of all derivatives that are designated as hedges for accounting purposes in order to determine that each derivative continues to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. Internal analyses that measure the statistical correlation between the derivative and the associated hedged item determine the effectiveness of such a contract designated as a hedge. If it is determined that the derivative instrument is not highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting will be discontinued prospectively. If the derivative instrument is terminated, the effective portion of this derivative deferred in accumulated OCI will be frozen until the underlying hedged item is delivered

Revenues and expenses on contracts that qualify for the NPNS exception are recognized when the underlying physical transaction is delivered. While these contracts are considered derivative financial instruments under ASC 815, they are not recorded at fair value, but on an accrual basis of accounting. If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no longer meets the scope exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded on the balance sheet and immediately recognized through earnings.

The Registrants’ trading activities are subject to limits in accordance with the Risk Management Policy. These contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Registrants to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and derivatives. Certain accounts receivable and derivative instruments are concentrated within entities engaged in the energy industry. These industry concentrations may impact the Registrants’ overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that the customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions. Receivables and other contractual arrangements are subject to collateral requirements under the terms of enabling agreements. However, the Registrants believe that the credit risk posed by industry concentration is offset by the diversification and creditworthiness of the Registrants’ customer base. See Note 4, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for a further discussion of derivative concentrations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, funds deposited by counterparties, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. See Note 4, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for a further discussion of fair value of financial instruments.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Registrants account for their AROs in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, or ASC 410-20. Retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets included within the scope of ASC 410-20 are those for which a legal obligation exists under enacted laws, statutes, and written or oral contracts, including obligations arising under the doctrine of promissory estoppel, and for which the timing and/or method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. ASC 410-20 requires an entity to recognize the fair value of a liability for an ARO in the period in which it is incurred and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.

Upon initial recognition of a liability for an ARO, the Registrants capitalize the asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by the same amount. Over time, the liability is accreted to its future value, while the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. See Note 11, Asset Retirement Obligations, for a further discussion of AROs.

Pensions (GenOn)

GenOn offers pension benefits through defined benefit pension plans. In addition, GenOn provides postretirement health and welfare benefits for certain groups of employees. GenOn accounts for pension and other postretirement benefits in accordance with ASC 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits. GenOn recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit plans in the statement of financial position and records an offset for gains and losses as well as all prior service costs that have not been included as part of GenOn's net periodic benefit cost to other comprehensive income. The determination of GenOn's obligation and expenses for pension benefits is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions. These assumptions determined by management include the discount rate, the expected rate of return on plan assets and the rate of future compensation increases. GenOn's actuarial consultants determine assumptions for such items as retirement age. The assumptions used may differ materially from actual results, which may result in a significant impact to the amount of pension obligation or expense recorded by GenOn.

GenOn measures the fair value of its pension assets in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820.

Business Combinations

The Registrants account for the business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, or ASC 805. ASC 805 requires an acquirer to recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value at the acquisition date. It also recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired or a gain from a bargain purchase in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of an entity's financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. In addition, transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain prior year depreciation amounts have been recast to revise provisional purchase accounting estimates for the GenOn acquisition.

In recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations, the Registrants use estimates based on the best information available. Estimates are used for such items as plant depreciable lives, tax provisions, actuarially determined benefit costs, the valuation of energy commodity contracts, environmental liabilities, legal costs incurred in connection with recorded loss contingencies, and assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, among others. In addition, estimates are used to test long-lived assets for impairment and to determine the fair value of impaired assets. As better information becomes available or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised. Consequently, operating results can be affected by revisions to prior accounting estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. The reclassifications did not affect results from operations. The Registrants reclassified certain balances from cash and cash equivalents to funds deposited by counterparties, which impacted cash flows from operations in the prior years.

Recent Accounting Developments

ASU 2014-16 - In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity, or ASU No. 2014-16. The amendments of ASU No. 2014-16 clarify how U.S. GAAP should be applied in determining whether the nature of a host contract is more akin to debt or equity and in evaluating whether the economic characteristics and risks of an embedded feature are "clearly and closely related" to its host contract. The guidance in ASU No. 2014-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Registrants are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the Registrants' results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

ASU 2014-09 - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU No. 2014-09. The amendments of ASU No. 2014-09 complete the joint effort between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board, IASB, to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, and to improve financial reporting. The guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services provided and establishes the following steps to be applied by an entity: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. The guidance of ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is not permitted. The Registrants are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the Registrants' results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

ASU 2013-11 - In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, or ASU No. 2013-11. The amendments of ASU No. 2013-11, which were adopted on January 1, 2014, require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss, or NOL, a similar tax loss or tax credit carryforwards rather than a liability when the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. The adoption of this standard did not impact the Registrants' results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3 — NRG Merger and Dispositions (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

Sabine Disposition (GenOn)

On December 2, 2014, GenOn, through its subsidiaries GenOn Sabine (Delaware), Inc. and GenOn Sabine (Texas), Inc., completed the sale of its 50% interest in Sabine Cogen, L.P., or Sabine, to Bayou Power, LLC, an affiliate of Rockland Capital, LLC. Sabine owns a 105 MW natural gas-fired cogeneration facility located in Texas. GenOn received cash consideration of $35 million at closing. A gain of $18 million was recognized as a result of the transaction and recorded within GenOn's consolidated statements of operations.

Kendall Disposition (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation)

On January, 31, 2014, NRG North America LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GenOn Americas Generations, completed the sale of NRG Kendall LLC to Veolia Energy North America Holdings, Inc. for cash consideration of $50 million. There was a $6 million loss recorded in the consolidated results of operations of GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation during the first quarter of 2014.

NRG Merger (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

On December 14, 2012, NRG completed the acquisition of GenOn. Consideration for the acquisition was valued at $2.2 billion and was comprised of 0.1216 shares of NRG common stock for each outstanding share of GenOn, including restricted stock units outstanding on the acquisition date, except for fractional shares which were paid in cash.

The acquisition was recorded as a business combination, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed provisionally recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The accounting for the business combination has been completed as of December 13, 2013. See Note 3, NRG Merger, in the Registrants' Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for additional information related to the NRG Merger.

The following tables summarize the historical carrying amounts, the acquisition accounting adjustments, the preliminary acquisition-date fair value and the measurement period adjustments through December 13, 2013 to the provisional allocation for assets acquired and liabilities assumed initially recorded in 2012 due to the ongoing evaluation of initial estimates during the measurement period.

The estimated fair values of the property, plant and equipment were significantly lower than the book value, which reflects changes to expected market dynamics, including commodity prices, resulting in lower estimated cash flows and in some cases, shorter useful lives of the underlying assets. The measurement period adjustments for property, plant and equipment and out-of-market liabilities primarily reflect revisions of various estimates based on additional information available. In addition, measurement period adjustments were recorded for additional environmental reserves resulting from further review and revisions to various estimates. The difference between the historical tax basis of the assets and liabilities over the net amount assigned to the assets and liabilities in acquisition accounting was recorded as a net deferred tax asset. Based on cumulative pre-tax losses, a valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax assets was also recorded.

Note 4 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

For cash and cash equivalents, funds deposited by counterparties, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, restricted cash, and cash collateral paid and received in support of energy risk management activities, the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated carrying values and fair values of GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation’s debt are as follows:

GenOn



	As of December 31,
	2014				2013
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(In millions)
Liabilities
Long and short-term debt	$	3,122	$	2,706	$	3,120	$	3,058

The fair value of long and short-term debt that is estimated using reported market prices for instruments that are publicly traded is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of non-publicly traded debt is based on the income approach valuation technique using current interest rates for similar instruments with equivalent credit quality and is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

GenOn Americas Generation



	As of December 31,
	2014				2013
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(In millions)
Liabilities
Long and short-term debt	$	929	$	720	$	938	$	883

The fair value of long and short-term debt is estimated using reported market prices for instruments that are publicly traded and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Accounting under ASC 820

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:


•	Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Registrants have the ability to access as of the measurement date. The Registrants’ financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded securities, energy derivatives and interest-bearing funds.


•	Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. The Registrants’ financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include exchange-based derivatives, and over the counter derivatives such as swaps, options and forward contracts.


•	Level 3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Registrants’ financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded and non-exchange-based derivatives which are measured using present value pricing models.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Registrants determine the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair market value.

Derivative Fair Value Measurements

A portion of the Registrants’ contracts are exchange-traded contracts with readily available quoted market prices. A majority of the Registrants’ contracts are non-exchange-traded contracts valued using prices provided by external sources, primarily price quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter and on-line exchanges. For the majority of the Registrants’ markets, quotes are from multiple sources. To the extent that the Registrants receive multiple quotes, prices reflect the average of the bid-ask mid-point prices obtained from all sources that the Registrants believe provide the most liquid market for the commodity. If the Registrants receive one quote, then the mid-point of the bid-ask spread for that quote is used. The terms for which such price information is available vary by commodity, region and product. A significant portion of the fair value of the Registrants’ derivative portfolio is based on price quotes from brokers in active markets who regularly facilitate those transactions and the Registrants believe such price quotes are executable. The Registrants do not use third party sources that derive price based on proprietary models or market surveys. The remainder of the assets and liabilities represents contracts for which external sources or observable market quotes are not available. These contracts are valued based on various valuation techniques including but not limited to internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of observable market data with similar characteristics. Contracts valued with prices provided by models and other valuation techniques make up 6% of GenOn's derivative assets and 3% of GenOn's derivative liabilities, 5% of GenOn Americas Generation’s derivative assets and 4% of GenOn Americas Generation's derivative liabilities and 7% of GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s derivative assets and 4% of GenOn Mid-Atlantic's derivative liabilities.

The fair value of each contract is discounted using a risk free interest rate. In addition, the Registrants apply a credit reserve to reflect credit risk which is calculated based on published default probabilities. To the extent that the Registrants’ net exposure under a specific master agreement is an asset, the Registrants use the counterparty's default swap rate. If the exposure under a specific master agreement is a liability, the Registrants use their default swap rate. The credit reserve is added to the discounted fair value to reflect the exit price that a market participant would be willing to receive to assume the Registrants’ liabilities or that a market participant would be willing to pay for the Registrants’ assets. The Registrants' credit reserves were as follows:



	As of December 31,
	2014		2013
	(In millions)		(In millions)
GenOn	$	—	$	1
GenOn Americas Generation	—		1
GenOn Mid-Atlantic	2		3

The fair values in each category reflect the level of forward prices and volatility factors as of December 31, 2014, and may change as a result of changes in these factors. Management uses its best estimates to determine the fair value of commodity and derivative contracts the Registrants hold and sell. These estimates consider various factors including closing exchange and over-the-counter price quotations, time value, volatility factors and credit exposure. It is possible however, that future market prices could vary from those used in recording assets and liabilities from energy marketing and trading activities and such variations could be material.

Under the guidance of ASC 815, entities may choose to offset cash collateral paid or received against the fair value of derivative positions executed with the same counterparties under the same master netting agreements. The Registrants have chosen not to offset positions as defined in ASC 815. As of December 31, 2014, GenOn recorded $38 million of cash collateral paid and $54 million of cash collateral received on its balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014, GenOn Americas Generation recorded $29 million of cash collateral paid and $54 million of cash collateral received on its balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic had no outstanding cash collateral paid or received on its balance sheet.

Concentration of Credit Risk

In addition to the credit risk discussion as disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the following item is a discussion of the concentration of credit risk for the Registrants’ financial instruments. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. The Registrants monitor and manage credit risk through credit policies that include: (i) an established credit approval process; (ii) a daily monitoring of counterparties' credit limits; (iii) the use of credit mitigation measures such as margin, collateral, prepayment arrangements, or volumetric limits (iv) the use of payment netting agreements; and (v) the use of master netting agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures of various contracts associated with a single counterparty. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. The Registrants seek to mitigate counterparty risk by having a diversified portfolio of counterparties. The Registrants also have credit protection within various agreements to call on additional collateral support if and when necessary. Cash margin is collected and held at the Registrants to cover the credit risk of the counterparty until positions settle.

As of December 31, 2014, counterparty credit exposure to a significant portion of GenOn’s counterparties was $450 million and GenOn held $1 million of collateral against those positions, resulting in a net exposure of $450 million. Approximately 90% of GenOn's exposure before collateral is expected to roll off by the end of 2016. GenOn Americas Generation’s counterparty credit exposure to a significant portion of counterparties was $445 million and GenOn Americas Generation held $1 million of collateral against those positions, resulting in a net exposure of $445 million. Approximately 90% of GenOn Americas Generation’s exposure before collateral is expected to roll off by the end of 2016. GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s counterparty credit exposure to a significant portion of counterparties was $107 million and GenOn Mid-Atlantic held no collateral (cash or letters of credit) against those positions, resulting in a net exposure of $107 million. 100% of GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s exposure before collateral is expected to roll off by the end of 2015.

The following tables highlight the counterparty credit quality and the net counterparty credit exposure by industry sector. Net counterparty credit exposure is defined as the aggregate net asset position for the Registrants with counterparties where netting is permitted under the enabling agreement and includes all cash flow, mark-to-market and NPNS, and non-derivative transactions. As of December 31, 2014, the exposure is shown net of collateral held and includes amounts net of receivables or payables.

Note 5 — Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

ASC 815 requires the Registrants to recognize all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and to measure them at fair value each reporting period unless they qualify for a NPNS exception. The Registrants may elect to designate certain derivatives as cash flow hedges, if certain conditions are met, and defer the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives to accumulated OCI, until the hedged transactions occur and are recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge is immediately recognized in earnings.

For derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Certain derivative instruments may qualify for the NPNS exception and are therefore exempt from fair value accounting treatment. ASC 815 applies to the Registrants’ energy related commodity contracts and interest rate swaps.

Energy-Related Commodities

To manage the commodity price risk associated with the Registrants’ competitive supply activities and the price risk associated with wholesale power sales from the Registrants’ electric generation facilities, the Registrants enter into a variety of derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments, utilizing the following:


•	Forward contracts, which commit the Registrants to purchase or sell energy commodities or purchase fuels in the future.


•	Futures contracts, which are exchange-traded standardized commitments to purchase or sell a commodity or financial instrument.


•	Swap agreements, which require payments to or from counterparties based upon the differential between two prices for a predetermined contractual, or notional, quantity.


•	Financial and non-financial option contracts, which convey to the option holder the right but not the obligation to purchase or sell a commodity.

The objectives for entering into derivative contracts used for economic hedging include:


•	Fixing the price for a portion of anticipated future electricity sales that provides an acceptable return on the Registrants’ electric generation operations.


•	Fixing the price of a portion of anticipated fuel purchases for the operation of the Registrants’ power plants.

GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s trading and hedging activities are subject to limits within the risk management policy. These contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings.

GenOn

As of December 31, 2014, GenOn’s derivative assets and liabilities consisted primarily of the following:


•	Forward and financial contracts for the purchase/sale of electricity and related products economically hedging GenOn’s generation assets' forecasted output through 2017.


•	Forward and financial contracts for the purchase of fuel commodities relating to the forecasted usage of GenOn’s generation assets through 2016.

Also, as of December 31, 2014, GenOn had other energy-related contracts that did not meet the definition of a derivative instrument as follows:


•	Power tolling contracts through 2015;


•	Coal purchase contracts through 2020;


•	Power transmission contracts through 2019;


•	Natural gas transportation contracts and storage agreements through 2023; and


•	Coal transportation contracts through 2018.

•	Natural gas transportation contracts and storage agreements through 2023; and


•	Coal transportation contracts through 2018.

Interest Rate Swaps (GenOn)

In 2010, NRG Marsh Landing entered into interest rate protection agreements (interest rate swaps) in connection with its project financing, which have been designated as cash flow hedges. NRG Marsh Landing entered into the interest rate swaps to reduce the risks with respect to the variability of the interest rates for the term loans. On July 22, 2013, concurrent with the initial public offering of NRG Yield, Inc., GenOn sold its ownership interests in NRG Marsh Landing Holdings LLC to NRG Yield LLC, which included the assignment of the related interest rate swap liability.

Volumetric Underlying Derivative Transactions

The following table summarizes the net notional volume buy/(sell) of the Registrants’ open derivative transactions broken out by commodity, excluding those derivatives that qualified for the NPNS exception as of December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013. Option contracts are reflected using delta volume. Delta volume equals the notional volume of an option adjusted for the probability that the option will be in-the-money at its expiration date.



		GenOn		GenOn Americas Generation		GenOn Mid-Atlantic
		Total Volume		Total Volume		Total Volume
		As of December 31,		As of December 31,		As of December 31,

The Registrants have elected to present derivative assets and liabilities on the balance sheet on a trade-by-trade basis and do not offset amounts at the counterparty master agreement level. In addition, collateral received or paid on the Registrants' derivative assets or liabilities are recorded on a separate line item on the balance sheet. The following tables summarize the offsetting of derivatives by counterparty master agreement level and collateral received or paid:

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (GenOn)

The following table summarizes the effects on GenOn's accumulated OCI balance attributable to cash flow hedge derivatives, net of tax of zero dollars:



	Successor							Predecessor
	Year Ended December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2013			December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012		January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012

Reversal as part of sale to NRG Yield LLC^(c)	—		(18		)	—		—
Accumulated OCI balance, end of period	$	—	$	—		$	1	$	(52	)


(a)	Amounts reclassified from accumulated OCI into income and amounts recognized in income from the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recorded in interest expense.


(b)	All of the forecasted transactions (future interest payments) were deemed probable of occurring; therefore, no cash flow hedges were discontinued and no amount was recognized in GenOn’s results of operations as a result of discontinued cash flow hedges.


(c)	The reversal of accumulated OCI as part of the sale of NRG Marsh Landing to NRG Yield LLC resulted in the recognition of additional paid in capital.

Because a significant portion of the interest expense incurred by Marsh Landing during construction was capitalized, amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with construction period interest payments were reclassified to property, plant and equipment and will be depreciated over the expected useful life of the Marsh Landing generating facility. Actual amounts reclassified into earnings could vary from the amounts currently recorded as a result of future changes in interest rates.

Impact of Derivative Instruments on the Statement of Operations

Unrealized gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not accounted for as cash flow hedges are reflected in current period earnings.

The following tables summarize the pre-tax effects of economic hedges that have not been designated as cash flow hedges and trading activity on the Registrants’ statements of operations. These amounts are included within operating revenues and cost of operations.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation)

Certain of GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation’s hedging agreements contain provisions that require the Registrants to post additional collateral if the counterparty determines that there has been deterioration in credit quality, generally termed "adequate assurance" under the agreements, or require the Registrants to post additional collateral if there were a one notch downgrade in the Registrants’ credit rating. The collateral required for contracts that have adequate assurance clauses that are in net liability positions as of December 31, 2014, was $21 million for GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation. The collateral required for contracts with credit rating contingent features that are in a net liability position as of December 31, 2014, was $1 million for GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation. In addition, GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation are parties to certain marginable agreements under which they have net liability positions, but the counterparties have not called for collateral due, which is approximately $10 million as of December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic did not have any financial instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features.

See Note 4, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for discussion regarding concentration of credit risk.

Note 8 — Retirements, Mothballing or Long-Term Protective Layup of Generating Facilities (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

Facilities Announced for Deactivation Due to Returns on Investment (GenOn)

The Registrants are subject to extensive environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities under a variety of statutes, regulations and permits that address discharges into the air, water and soil, and the proper handling of solid, hazardous and toxic materials and waste. Complying with increasingly stringent environmental requirements involves significant capital and operating expenses. To the extent forecasted returns on investments necessary to comply with environmental regulations are insufficient for a particular facility, the Registrants plan to deactivate that facility. In determining the forecasted returns on investments, the Registrants factor in forecasted energy and capacity prices, expected capital expenditures, operating costs, property taxes and other factors. GenOn deactivated the following coal and natural gas units at the referenced times:



Facility or Unit	Fuel-type	Net Generation Capacity (MW)	Deactivation Date
Osceola Facility ^(a)	Natural Gas	463	January 2015
Coolwater Facility ^(b)	Natural Gas	636	January 2015
Portland Units 1 and 2 ^(c)	Coal	401	June 2014
Titus Coal Units	Coal	245	September 2013
Niles Unit 1	Coal	110	October 2012
Elrama Unit 4	Coal	170	October 2012
Niles Unit 2	Coal	110	June 2012
Elrama Units 1 and 3	Coal	290	June 2012

(a) NRG mothballed the Osceola facility effective January 1, 2015.

(b) The Coolwater facility was retired from service on January 1, 2015.

GenOn plans on deactivating the following coal and natural gas units at the referenced times:



Facility or Unit	Fuel-type	Net Generation Capacity (MW)	Expected Deactivation Date
Shawville Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 ^(a)	Coal	597	April 2015
Gilbert CT Units 1, 2, 3 and 4	Natural Gas	98	May 2015
Glen Gardner Facility	Natural Gas	160	May 2015
Werner Facility	Oil	210	May 2015

(a) NRG expects to return these units to service no later than the summer of 2016 using natural gas.

Potomac River Generating Facility

During 2011, NRG Potomac River LLC entered into an agreement with the City of Alexandria, Virginia to remove permanently from service its 480 MW Potomac River generating facility. The agreement, which amends the Project Schedule and Agreement, dated July 2008 with the City of Alexandria, provides for the retirement of the Potomac River generating facility on October 1, 2012, subject to the determination of PJM that the retirement of the facility will not affect reliability and the consent of Potomac Electric Power Company. PJM made the necessary determination and in June 2012 Potomac Electric Power Company gave its consent. As a result, the Potomac River generating facility was retired in October 2012. Upon retirement of the Potomac River generating facility, all funds in the escrow account ($32 million) established under the July 2008 agreement were distributed to NRG Potomac River in October 2012. GenOn Mid-Atlantic therefore reversed $32 million of the previously recorded obligation under the 2008 agreement with the City of Alexandria as a reduction in cost of operations during the period from January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012.

Note 9 — Impairments (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

Long-Lived Assets Impairments (GenOn)

2014 Impairments

Coolwater — During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company determined that it would pursue retiring the 636 MW natural-gas fired Coolwater facility, in Dagget, California. The facility faced critical repairs on the cooling towers for Units 3 and 4 and, during the fourth quarter of 2014, did not receive any awards in a near-term capacity auction and no interest in a bilateral capacity deal. The Company considered this to be an indicator of impairment and performed an impairment test for these assets under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The carrying amount of the assets was lower than the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and as a result, the assets are considered to be impaired. The Company measured the impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets. The Company retired the Coolwater facility effective January 1, 2015. All remaining fixed assets of the station were written off resulting in an impairment loss of $22 million.

Osceola — During the third quarter of 2014, GenOn determined that it will pursue mothballing the 463 MW natural gas-fired Osceola facility, in Saint Cloud, Florida. GenOn considered this to be an indicator of impairment and performed an impairment test for these assets under ASC 360. The carrying amount of the assets was lower than the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and as a result, the assets are considered to be impaired. GenOn measured the impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets. Due to the location of the facility, it was determined that the best indicator of fair value is the market value of the combustion turbines. GenOn recorded an impairment loss of approximately $60 million, which represents the excess of the carrying value over the fair market value.

2012 Impairments

On July 20, 2012, GenOn entered into the NRG Merger Agreement with NRG Energy and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of NRG. GenOn viewed the execution of the NRG Merger Agreement as a triggering event under accounting guidance and evaluated its long-lived assets for impairment.

For purposes of impairment testing, a long-lived asset must be grouped at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. Each of GenOn’s generating facilities is viewed as an individual asset group. Upon completion of the assessment, GenOn determined that the Portland and Titus generating facilities were impaired as of September 30, 2012, as the carrying values exceeded the undiscounted cash flows.

GenOn’s review of the long-lived assets included assumptions about the following: (a) electricity, fuel and emissions prices, (b) capacity prices, (c) impact of environmental regulations, including costs of CO₂ allowances under a potential cap-and-trade program, (d) timing and extent of generating capacity additions and retirements and (e) future capital expenditure requirements related to the generating facilities.

GenOn’s assumptions related to future prices of electricity, fuel, emission allowances, and capacity were based on observable market prices to the extent available. Longer term power and capacity prices were derived from proprietary fundamental market modeling and analysis. The long-term capacity prices were based on estimated revenue requirements needed to incentivize new generation when needed to maintain reliability standards. For markets with established capacity markets, such as PJM, these estimates are generally consistent with the current structures. The assumptions regarding electricity demand were based on forecasts available from each ISO or NERC region, as applicable. Assumptions for generating capacity additions and retirements included publicly available announcements, which take into account renewable sources of electricity, as well as the need for capacity to maintain reliability in the longer term. In addition, GenOn previously announced its plans for deactivation of the Portland and Titus generating facilities. See Note 8, Retirements, Mothballing or Long-Term Protective Layup of Generating Facilities.

GenOn recorded impairment losses of $37 million and $10 million during the third quarter of 2012 in the consolidated statement of operations to reduce the carrying values of the Portland and Titus generating facilities, respectively, to their estimated fair values of $17 million and $15 million, respectively. The measurements utilized to determine fair value of Portland and Titus for impairment were categorized in Level 3 as of September, 30, 2012.

GenOn Energy (GenOn)

Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with the NRG Merger, the senior secured term loan was paid off and the revolving credit facility was terminated. See Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, for discussion of GenOn's credit agreement with NRG.

Under the senior notes and the related indentures, the senior notes are the sole obligation of GenOn and are not guaranteed by any subsidiary or affiliate of GenOn. The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of GenOn having no recourse to any subsidiary or affiliate of GenOn. The senior notes restrict the ability of GenOn and its subsidiaries to encumber their assets.

Redemption of 2014 GenOn Senior Notes. In June 2013, GenOn redeemed all of the 2014 Senior Notes with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $575 million at a redemption percentage of 106.778% of face value, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, an $11 million loss on the debt extinguishment of the 2014 Senior Notes was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2013 which primarily consisted of a make whole premium payment offset by the write-off of unamortized premium.

The GenOn Senior Notes due 2014, which had a face value of $575 million, were recorded at their fair value of $617 million on the NRG Merger date. The related $42 million premium was being amortized to interest expense until the notes were redeemed in June 2013, as previously discussed.

Senior Unsecured Notes, Due 2018 and 2020. The senior notes and the related indentures restrict the ability of GenOn to incur additional liens and make certain restricted payments, including dividends and purchases of capital stock. At December 31, 2014, GenOn did not meet the consolidated debt ratio component of the restricted payments test and, therefore, the ability of GenOn to make restricted payments is limited to specified exclusions from the covenant, including up to $250 million of such restricted payments. The senior notes are subject to acceleration of GenOn’s obligations thereunder upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including: (a) default in interest payment for 30 days, (b) default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, (c) failure after 90 days of specified notice to comply with any other agreements in the indenture, (d) certain cross-acceleration events, (e) failure by GenOn or its significant subsidiaries to pay certain final and non-appealable judgments after 90 days and (f) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

The senior notes due 2018 and 2020 were recorded at their fair values of $801 million and $631 million, respectively, on the NRG Merger date. The $126 million and $81 million premiums, respectively, are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes.

Prior to October 15, 2018, GenOn may redeem the senior notes due 2018, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The premium is the greater of: (i) 1% of the principal amount of the notes; or (ii) the excess of the following: the present value of 100% of the note, plus interest payments due on the note through maturity, discounted at a Treasury rate plus 0.50% over the principal amount of the note.

Prior to October 15, 2015, GenOn may redeem the senior notes due 2020, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The premium is the greater of: (i) 1% of the principal amount of the notes; or (ii) the excess of the following: the present value of 100% of the note, plus interest payments due on the note through maturity, discounted at a Treasury rate plus 0.50% over the principal amount of the note. In addition, on or after October 15, 2015, GenOn may redeem some or all of the notes at redemption prices expressed as percentages of principal amount as set forth in the following table, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to the first applicable redemption rate:



Redemption Period	Redemption Percentage

October 15, 2018 and thereafter	100.000	%

Senior Unsecured Notes, Due 2017. The senior notes due 2017 of GenOn were recorded at their fair value of $800 million on the NRG Merger date. The $75 million premium is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes.

Prior to maturity, GenOn may redeem all or a part of the senior notes due 2017 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the notes plus a premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The premium is the greater of: (i) 1% of the principal amount of the notes; or (ii) the excess of the following: the present value of 100% of the note, plus interest payments due on the note through maturity, discounted at a Treasury rate plus 0.50% over the principal amount of the note.

GenOn Americas Generation (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation)

Senior Unsecured Notes. The senior notes due 2021 and 2031 are senior unsecured obligations of GenOn Americas Generation having no recourse to any subsidiary or affiliate of GenOn Americas Generation. The senior notes due 2021 and 2031 of GenOn Americas Generation were recorded at their fair values of $509 million and $437 million, respectively, on the NRG Merger date. The $59 million and $37 million premiums, respectively, are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes.

Prior to maturity, GenOn Americas Generation may redeem all or a part of the senior notes due 2021 and 2031 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the notes plus a premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The premium is the greater of: (i) the discounted present value of the then-remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the outstanding notes, discounted at a Treasury rate plus 0.375%, less the unpaid principal amount; and (ii) zero.

Marsh Landing (GenOn)

Credit Facility. In October 2010, Marsh Landing entered into a credit agreement for up to approximately $650 million of commitments to provide construction and permanent financing for the Marsh Landing generating facility. The credit facility consists of a $155 million tranche A senior secured term loan facility, due 2017, a $345 million tranche B senior secured term loan facility, due 2023, a $50 million senior secured letter of credit facility to support Marsh Landing’s debt service reserve requirements and a $100 million senior secured letter of credit facility to support Marsh Landing’s collateral requirements under its PPA with PG&E. Prior to the commercial operation date of the project, the collateral requirements under the PPA and construction contracts were met by a $165 million cash collateralized letter of credit facility entered into by GenOn Energy Holdings on behalf of Marsh Landing in September 2010.

In May 2013, Marsh Landing met the conditions under the credit agreement to convert the construction loan for the facility to a term loan which will amortize on a predetermined basis. Prior to term conversion, Marsh Landing drew the remaining funds available under the facility in order to pay costs due for construction. Marsh Landing also issued a $24 million letter of credit under the facility in support of its debt service requirements. Concurrently with the term conversion, the $80 million cash collateralized letter of credit issued by GenOn Energy Holdings on behalf of Marsh Landing in support of its collateral requirements under the PPA with PG&E was returned and the related letter of credit facility was terminated. On July 22, 2013, concurrent with the initial public offering of NRG Yield, Inc., GenOn sold its ownership interests in Marsh Landing Holdings LLC to NRG Yield LLC, including the Marsh Landing term loan, as further described in Note 15, Related Party Transactions.

Restricted Net Assets (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation)

GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation and certain of their subsidiaries are holding companies and, as a result, GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation and such subsidiaries are dependent upon dividends, distributions and other payments from their respective subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet their obligations. In particular, a substantial portion of the cash from GenOn’s and GenOn Americas Generation’s operations is generated by GenOn Mid-Atlantic. The ability of certain of GenOn’s and GenOn Americas Generation’s subsidiaries to pay dividends and make distributions is restricted under the terms of their debt or other agreements, including the operating leases of GenOn Mid-Atlantic for GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation and REMA for GenOn. Under their respective operating leases, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA are not permitted to make any distributions and other restricted payments unless: (a) they satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters; (b) they are projected to satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio for each of the two following periods of four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter in which such payment is proposed to be made; and (c) no significant lease default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. In the event of a default under the respective operating leases or if the respective restricted payment tests are not satisfied, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA would not be able to distribute cash. At December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA did not satisfy the restricted payments test.

Pursuant to the terms of their respective lease agreements, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA are restricted from, among other actions, (a) encumbering assets, (b) entering into business combinations or divesting assets, (c) incurring additional debt, (d) entering into transactions with affiliates on other than an arm’s length basis or (e) materially changing their business. Therefore, at December 31, 2014, all of GenOn Mid-Atlantic’s and REMA’s net assets (excluding cash) were deemed restricted for purposes of Rule 4-08(e)(3)(ii) of Regulation S-X. As of December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic and REMA had restricted net assets of $1,004 million and $(868) million, respectively.

Note 12 — Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits (GenOn)

Defined Benefit Plans

GenOn provides pension benefits to eligible non-union and union employees through various defined benefit pension plans. These benefits are based on pay, service history and age at retirement. Most pension benefits are provided through tax-qualified plans that are funded in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Internal Revenue Service requirements. Certain executive pension benefits that cannot be provided by the tax-qualified plans are provided through unfunded non-tax-qualified plans. The measurement date for the defined benefit plans was December 31 for all periods presented unless otherwise noted. GenOn also provides certain medical care and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. The measurement date for these postretirement benefit plans was December 31 for all periods presented unless otherwise noted.

As a result of the application of pushdown accounting, GenOn’s benefit plan obligations were remeasured at the time of the NRG Merger. See Note 3, NRG Merger and Dispositions. As part of the change in control associated with the GenOn acquisition, NRG decided to terminate/settle the nonqualified legacy GenOn Benefit Restoration Plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Final settlement payments totaling $12 million were paid to remaining participants during 2014.

The net periodic pension (credit)/cost related to GenOn’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans include the following components:

The total net (gain)/loss recognized in net periodic benefit cost and OCI for the pension plans for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012 were $90 million, $(84) million, $0 million, and $17 million, respectively. The total net (gain)/loss recognized in net periodic benefit credit and OCI for the other postretirement benefit plans for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012 were $(2) million, $(7) million, $0 million, and $6 million, respectively.

The estimated unrecognized loss for the pension and other postretirement benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to net period benefit cost during 2015 is approximately $1 million. The estimated unrecognized prior service credit for the pension and other postretirement benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to net period benefit cost during 2015 is approximately $4 million.

Fair Value Hierarchy of Plan Assets

GenOn's market-related value of its plan assets is the fair value of the assets. The fair values of GenOn's pension plan assets by asset category and their level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:



	Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2014
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Total
	(In millions)

	(In millions)
Investment Funds:
U.S. equities	$	—	$	202	$	202
Non-U.S. equities	—		139		139
Fixed income securities	—		128		128
Total	$	—	$	469	$	469

In accordance with ASC 820, GenOn determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value of the common/collective trusts is valued at fair value which is equal to the sum of the market value of all of the fund's underlying investments, and is categorized as Level 2. Partnerships/joint ventures Level 2 investments consist primarily of a partnership which invests in emerging market equity securities. In 2013, GenOn’s plan assets consisted of non-exchange-traded investment funds whose fair values reflected the net asset value of the funds based on the fair value of the fund’s underlying securities. The underlying securities held by these funds were valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets. GenOn elected the practical expedient under the accounting guidance to measure the fair value of certain funds that use net asset value per share. Certain investment funds require redemption notification of 30 days or less for which no adjustment was made to their net asset value. There are no investments categorized as Level 3.

Assumptions

GenOn sets the discount rate assumptions on an annual basis for each of its defined benefit retirement plans as of December 31. The discount rate assumptions represent the current rate at which the associated liabilities could be effectively settled at December 31. GenOn utilizes the Aon Hewitt AA Above Median, or AA-AM, yield curve to select the appropriate discount rate assumption for each retirement plan. The AA-M yield curve is a hypothetical AA yield curve represented by a series of annualized individual spot discount rates from 6 months to 99 years. Each bond issue used to build this yield curve must be non-callable, and have an average rating of AA when averaging all available Moody's Investor Services, Standard & Poor's and Fitch ratings.

For purposes of expense recognition prior to the NRG Merger, GenOn used a market-related value of assets that recognizes the difference between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets over a five-year period. Unrecognized asset gains or losses associated with GenOn’s plan assets were recognized in the calculation of the market-related value of assets and subject to amortization in future periods.

The following table presents the significant assumptions used to calculate GenOn's benefit obligations:



	Pension Benefits				Other Postretirement Benefits
	As of December 31,				As of December 31,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Weighted–Average Assumptions
Discount rate	4.18	%	5.02	%	3.86	%	4.53	%
Rate of compensation increase	2.97	%	2.91	%	N/A		N/A

GenOn’s assumed healthcare cost trend rates used for other postretirement benefit obligations are:



	Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
	As of December 31,
	2014		2013
Weighted–Average Assumptions
Assumed medical inflation for next year:
Before age 65	8.60	%	8.50	%
Age 65 and after	8.10	%	8.69	%
Assumed ultimate medical inflation rate	5.00	%	5.50	%
Year in which ultimate rate is reached	2023		2019

An annual increase of 1% in the assumed healthcare cost trend rates would correspondingly increase the postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2014 by $7 million. An annual decrease of 1% in the assumed healthcare cost trend rates would correspondingly decrease the postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2014 by $6 million

The following tables present the significant assumptions used to calculate GenOn's benefit expense/credit:

An annual increase or decrease of 1% in the assumed healthcare cost trend rates would correspondingly increase or decrease the total annual service and interest cost components of net period benefit credit during 2014 by less than $1 million.

Pension Plan Assets

Pension plans’ assets are managed solely in the interest of the plans’ participants and their beneficiaries and are invested with the objective of earning the necessary returns to meet the time horizons of the accumulated and projected retirement benefit obligations. GenOn uses a mix of equities and fixed income investments intended to manage risk to a reasonable and prudent level. GenOn’s risk tolerance is established through consideration of the plans’ liabilities and funded status as well as corporate financial condition. Equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks. For U.S. stocks, GenOn employs both a passive and active approach by investing in index funds and actively managed funds. For non-U.S. stocks, GenOn is invested in both developed and emerging market equity funds. Fixed income investments are comprised of long-term U.S. government and corporate securities. Derivative securities can be used for diversification, risk-control and return enhancement purposes but may not be used for the purpose of leverage.

GenOn's pension asset allocation methodology is based on the results of a study completed by a third-party investment consulting firm. The methodology divides the pension plan assets into two primary portfolios: (i) return seeking assets, those assets intended to generate returns in excess of pension liability growth (U.S. equity, Non-U.S. equity and global equity) and (ii) liability-hedging assets, those assets intended to have characteristics similar to pension liabilities (fixed income securities). As GenOn’s pension plans’ funded status improves, the methodology actively moves the plan assets from return seeking assets toward liability-hedging assets.

The target allocations for GenOn’s pension plan assets were as follows for the year ended December 31, 2014:



U.S. equities	28	%
Non-U.S. equities	19	%
Global equities	10	%
Fixed income securities	43	%

Investment risk and performance are monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly portfolio reviews of each asset fund class to a related performance benchmark, if applicable, and annual pension liability measurements. Performance benchmarks are composed of the following indices:



Asset Class		Index
U.S. equities		Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index
Non-U.S. equities		MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S. IMI Index
Global equities		MSCI All Country World Index
Fixed income securities		Barclays Capital Long Term Government/Credit Index

Expected Contributions and Benefit Payments

GenOn expects to contribute approximately $16 million to the tax-qualified pension plans during 2015.

GenOn's expected future benefit payments for each of the next five years, and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter, are as follows:



	Tax-Qualified Pension Benefit Payments		Other Postretirement Benefit Payments
	(In millions)
2015	$	28	$	6
2016	30		6
2017	29		6
2018	31		6
2019	33		6
2020 through 2024	193		25

Employee Savings and Profit Sharing Plan

GenOn has employee savings plans under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the IRC whereby employees may contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to the employee savings plan, subject to limits under the IRC. GenOn also historically provided for a profit sharing arrangement for non-bargaining employees and some bargaining employees not accruing a benefit under the defined benefit pension plans, whereby GenOn contributed a fixed contribution of 2% of eligible pay per pay period and could make an annual discretionary contribution up to 3% of eligible pay based on GenOn’s performance. Upon completion of the NRG Merger, NRG assumed GenOn’s defined contribution 401(k) plans and amended the plan for the non-bargaining employees with NRG 401(k) plan features, effective January 1, 2013. On July 5, 2013, the GenOn defined contribution 401(k) plans were merged into the NRG 401(k) plan.

GenOn also sponsors non-qualified deferred compensation plans for key and highly compensated employees. GenOn’s obligations and the related rabbi trust investments under these plans were $20 million and $22 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Upon completion of the NRG Merger, NRG assumed GenOn’s non-qualified plans and their respective obligations.

Expense recognized for the matching, fixed profit sharing and discretionary profit sharing contributions for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012 were $0 million, $4 million, $1 million, and $30 million, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and valuation allowance

Net deferred tax balance — As of December 31, 2014, and 2013, GenOn recorded a net deferred tax asset of $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. Based on its assessment of positive and negative evidence, including available tax planning strategies, GenOn believes that it is more likely than not that a benefit will not be realized on $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion of tax assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, thus a valuation allowance has been recorded. GenOn estimates it will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $8.0 billion, to fully realize the net federal deferred tax asset before expiration commencing in 2032.

In connection with the accounting for the GenOn acquisition, GenOn recorded the realizable deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired, primarily consisting of net operating losses and other temporary differences. In addition, the excess of GenOn's historical tax basis of assets and liabilities over the amount assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed generated deferred tax assets and liabilities that were recorded on the acquisition date.

NOL carryforwards — At December 31, 2014, GenOn had tax effected cumulative domestic NOLs consisting of carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $727 million and state of $125 million. GenOns pre-merger federal NOLs are limited to $62 million annually.

Valuation allowance — As of December 31, 2014, GenOn's tax effected valuation allowance was $2.8 billion, relating primarily to federal and state loss carryforwards as well as differences between book and tax basis of PP&E.

Taxes Receivable and Payable

As of December 31, 2014, GenOn recorded a current tax payable of $3 million that represents a tax liability due for domestic state taxes.

Uncertain tax benefits

GenOn has identified uncertain tax benefits whose after-tax value was $2 million that if recognized, would impact the GenOn's income tax expense.

GenOn recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2014, GenOn accrued interest of $1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, GenOn did not accrue interest. As of December 31, 2014 GenOn had cumulative interest and penalties related to these uncertain tax benefits of $1 million.

104

Tax jurisdictions — GenOn is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2010. With few exceptions, state and local income tax examinations are no longer open for years before 2009.

GenOn Americas Generation

GenOn America's Generation is a wholly owned limited liability company, a disregarded entity, for federal and state income tax purposes. Therefore federal and state taxes are assessed at the parent level. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

A reconciliation of GenOn Americas Generation's expected federal statutory income tax provision to the effective income tax provision adjusted for permanent and other items during 2014, 2013 and 2012, is as follows:

Pro Forma Income Tax Disclosures

GenOn Americas Generation

GenOn Americas Generation is not subject to income taxes except for those subsidiaries of GenOn Americas Generation that are separate taxpayers. NRG Americas, GenOn and NRG are otherwise directly responsible for income taxes related to GenOn Americas Generation's operations.

GenOn Americas Generation was not allocated income taxes attributable to its operations on a pro forma income tax provision basis for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the period from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period from January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012.

Deferred tax assets and valuation allowance

Net deferred tax balance — As of December 31, 2014, and 2013, GenOn Americas Generation recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. Based on its assessment of positive and negative evidence, including available tax planning strategies, GenOn Americas believes that it is more likely than not that a benefit will not be realized on $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion of tax assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, thus a valuation allowance has been recorded. GenOn Americas Generation estimates it will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $5.1 billion, to fully realize the net federal deferred tax asset before expiration commencing in 2032.

In connection with the accounting for the GenOn acquisition, GenOn Americas Generation recorded the realizable deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired, primarily consisting of net operating losses and other temporary differences. In addition, the excess of GenOn's historical tax basis of assets and liabilities over the amount assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed generated deferred tax assets and liabilities that were recorded on the acquisition date.

Note 14 — Stock-Based Compensation (GenOn)

Impact of NRG Merger

Effective December 14, 2012, in connection with the consummation of the NRG Merger, the name of the GenOn Energy, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan was changed to NRG 2010 Stock Plan for GenOn Employees, or NRG GenOn LTIP. Pursuant to the NRG Merger Agreement, upon completion of the NRG Merger, the following occurred to GenOn’s stock-based incentive awards:

each outstanding GenOn stock option that was granted under the NRG GenOn LTIP, the GenOn Energy, Inc. 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the GenOn Energy, Inc. 2002 Stock Plan and the Mirant Corporation 2005 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, collectively, the GenOn Plans, before 2012 vested in full (to the extent not already vested) and was converted into an option to purchase NRG common stock (with the number of shares and per share exercise price appropriately adjusted based on the NRG Merger Exchange Ratio), on the terms and conditions otherwise applicable to those options prior to the NRG Merger;

ii.

each outstanding GenOn stock option that was granted under the GenOn Plans during 2012 was converted into an option to purchase NRG common stock (with the number of shares and per share exercise price appropriately adjusted based on the NRG Merger Exchange Ratio), on the terms and conditions (including vesting schedules and conditions) otherwise applicable to those options prior to the NRG Merger;


iii.	each outstanding restricted stock unit that was granted under the GenOn Plans before 2012 has vested in full (to the extent not already vested) and was exchanged for shares of NRG common stock in the NRG Merger based on the NRG Merger Exchange Ratio; and

iv.

each outstanding restricted stock unit that was granted under the GenOn Plans in 2012, to the extent it remained unvested immediately prior to the NRG Merger, was converted into unvested restricted stock units of NRG (with the number of shares subject to such restricted stock unit appropriately adjusted based on the NRG Merger Exchange Ratio), on the terms and conditions otherwise applicable to those restricted stock units.

As of December 31, 2012, all unvested stock options that were converted to options to purchase NRG common stock and restricted stock units that were converted to NRG restricted stock units were recorded in NRG’s consolidated balance sheet.

The following disclosures relate to the predecessor periods and the conversion of GenOn stock options and restricted stock units only. All information regarding weighted average exercise price of stock options, weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted and weighted average grant date fair value for restricted stock units is based on historical GenOn stock prices and includes no adjustments for the NRG Merger Exchange Ratio.

108

Non-Qualified Stock Options

GenOn granted service condition stock option awards to certain employees. Historically, stock options vested 33.33% per year for the three years and had a term of five years to ten years. GenOn recognized the related compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The weighted average grant date fair value per option granted was $1.07 for the period from January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012. There was no cash received from the exercise of options for the period of January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012. There was no intrinsic value of options exercised and no tax benefits realized, as a result of net operating loss carryforwards, for the period of January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012.

The fair value of GenOn’s non-qualified stock options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Significant assumptions used in the fair value model with respect to the GenOn’s non-qualified stock options are summarized below:



	January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012
	Range		Weighted Average
Expected volatility^(a)	50.5	%	50.5	%
Expected term (in years)^(b)	5		5
Risk-free rate^(c)	0.89	%	0.89	%


(a)	GenOn estimated volatility based on historical and implied volatility (as applicable) of its common stock.


(b)	The expected term is based on a binomial lattice model.


(c)	The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Time-based Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

Time-based Awards. GenOn granted time-based restricted stock units to certain employees. These restricted stock units generally vested in three equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. GenOn recognized the related compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In addition, GenOn granted time-based restricted stock units to non-management members of the Board of Directors. These awards vested on the grant date and delivery of the underlying shares was deferred until the directorship terminated. During the period from January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012, GenOn granted 3.2 million time-based restricted stock units.

Performance-based Awards. During the period from January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012, GenOn granted 2.6 million performance-based restricted stock units to certain employees. These restricted stock units were linked to the 2012 short-term incentive plan performance goals, with performance measured in December 2012 to determine a multiplier between 0% and 200% of the targeted grant. These restricted stock units generally vested in three equal installments over a three-year period. GenOn recognized the related compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In December 2012, the performance multiplier was determined to be 183% for the performance-based awards granted in 2012 and one-third of the restricted stock units vested at that time with the remaining unvested restricted stock units to vest in December 2013 and December 2014.

General. The grant date fair value of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units was equal to GenOn’s closing stock price on the grant date.

The weighted average grant date fair value per restricted stock unit granted was $2.43 for the period from January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012. The fair value of vested restricted stock units was $8 million for the period from January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012.

Compensation Expense

GenOn recognized compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations related to stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense was $19 million for the period from January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012.

Note 15 - Related Party Transactions (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

Services Agreement with NRG (GenOn)

NRG provides GenOn, with various management, personnel and other services, which include human resources, regulatory and public affairs, accounting, tax, legal, information systems, treasury, risk management, commercial operations, and asset management, as set forth in the Services Agreement. The initial term of the Services Agreement was through December 31, 2013, with an automatic renewal absent a request for termination. The fee charged is determined based on a fixed amount as described in the Services Agreement and was calculated based on historical GenOn expenses prior to the NRG Merger. The annual fees under the Services Agreement are approximately $193 million. NRG charges these fees on a monthly basis, less amounts incurred directly by GenOn. Management has concluded that this method of charging overhead costs is reasonable. For the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, GenOn recorded costs related to these services of $128 million and $88 million, respectively, as selling, general and administrative - affiliate.

Administrative Services Provided by NRG for the Successor Period and Provided by GenOn Energy for the Predecessor Periods (GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

Prior to the NRG Merger, GenOn provided GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic with various management, personnel and other services directly relating to their facilities. GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic reimbursed GenOn for amounts equal to the costs of providing such services. In addition, GenOn's corporate overhead costs were allocated to its subsidiaries based on each operating subsidiary's planned operating expenses relative to all operating subsidiaries of GenOn. Subsequent to the NRG Merger, NRG provides GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic with various management, personnel and other services consistent with those set forth in the Services Agreement discussed above between NRG and GenOn. GenOn's costs incurred under the Services Agreement with NRG are allocated to its subsidiaries based on each operating subsidiary's planned operating expenses relative to all operating subsidiaries of GenOn. These allocations and charges are not necessarily indicative of what would have been incurred had GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic been unaffiliated entities. Management has concluded that this method of charging overhead costs is reasonable. Costs incurred by NRG and charged directly back to NRG Americas and GenOn Mid-Atlantic are not considered to be affiliate costs for periods subsequent to the NRG Merger. Direct costs charged back to GenOn Americas Generation considered to be affiliate costs were $130 million for the period from January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012. Direct costs charged back to GenOn Mid-Atlantic considered to be affiliate costs were $85 million for the period from January 1, 2012 to December 14, 2012.

The following costs were incurred under these arrangements:

Services Provided by GenOn Energy Management for the Predecessor Periods (GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

GenOn Americas Generation

Prior to the NRG Merger, GenOn Energy Management provided services to certain of GenOn's indirect operating subsidiaries through power, fuel supply and services agreements. The services included the bidding and dispatch of the generating units, fuel procurement and the execution of contracts, including economic hedges, to reduce price risk. These transactions were recorded as operating revenues — affiliate and cost of operations — affiliate, as appropriate, in the consolidated statements of operations. Amounts due from and to GenOn's indirect operating subsidiaries were recorded as accounts receivable — affiliate or accounts payables — affiliate, as appropriate. Substantially all energy marketing overhead expenses were allocated to GenOn's operating subsidiaries. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the period from January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012, GenOn Americas Generation recorded a reduction to cost of operations — affiliate of $8 million, $9 million, and $22 million, respectively, related to the allocations of energy marketing overhead expenses to affiliates that are not included in the GenOn Americas Generation consolidated statements of operations.

GenOn Mid-Atlantic

Prior to the NRG Merger, GenOn Mid-Atlantic received services from GenOn Energy Management which included the bidding and dispatch of the generating units, procurement of fuel and other products and the execution of contracts, including economic hedges, to reduce price risk. These transactions were recorded as operating revenues — affiliate and cost of operations — affiliate, as appropriate, in the consolidated statements of operations. Amounts due to and from GenOn Energy Management under the power, fuel supply and services agreements were recorded as accounts payables — affiliate or accounts receivables — affiliate, as appropriate. Under these agreements, GenOn Energy Management resold GenOn Mid-Atlantic's energy products in the PJM spot and forward markets and to other third parties. GenOn Mid-Atlantic was paid the amount received by GenOn Energy Management for such capacity and energy. GenOn Mid-Atlantic had counterparty credit risk in the event that GenOn Energy Management was unable to collect amounts owed from third parties for the resale of GenOn Mid-Atlantic's energy products. Substantially all energy marketing overhead expenses were allocated to GenOn's operating subsidiaries. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the period from January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012, GenOn Mid-Atlantic incurred $1 million, $3 million, and $4 million, respectively, of energy marketing overhead expense. These costs are included in cost of operations — affiliate in GenOn Mid-Atlantic's consolidated statements of operations.

Credit Agreement with NRG (GenOn)

In connection with the closing of the NRG Merger, GenOn and NRG Americas entered into a secured intercompany revolving credit agreement with NRG. This credit agreement provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility, all of which is available for revolving loans and letters of credit. At December 14, 2012, the letters of credit outstanding under GenOn's revolving credit facility, which was terminated in connection with the NRG Merger, were transferred to this credit agreement. At December 31, 2014, $237 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the NRG credit agreement for GenOn and of this amount, $173 million were issued on behalf of GenOn Americas Generation. See Note 10, Debt and Capital Leases. At December 31, 2014, no loans were outstanding under this credit agreement. In connection with the execution of the agreement, certain of GenOn's subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a guarantee agreement pursuant to which these guarantors guaranteed amounts borrowed and obligations incurred under the credit agreement. The credit agreement has a three year maturity and is payable at maturity, subject to certain exceptions primarily related to asset sales not in the ordinary course of business and borrowings of debt. In addition, they are restricted from incurring additional liens on their assets. At GenOn's election, the interest rate per year applicable to the loans under the credit agreement will be determined by reference to either (i) the base rate plus 2.50% per year or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 3.50% per year. In addition, the credit agreement contains customary covenants and events of default.

Intercompany Cash Management Program (GenOn Americas Generation)

GenOn Americas Generation and certain of its subsidiaries participate in separate intercompany cash management programs whereby cash balances at GenOn Americas Generation and the respective participating subsidiaries are transferred to central concentration accounts to fund working capital and other needs of the respective participants. The balances under this program are reflected as notes receivable — affiliate or notes payable — affiliate, as appropriate. The notes are due on demand and accrue interest on the net position, which is payable quarterly, at a rate determined by GenOn Energy Holdings. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, GenOn Americas Generation had a net current notes receivable from GenOn Energy Holdings of $331 million and $299 million, respectively, related to its intercompany cash management program. For the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012, GenOn Americas Generation earned an insignificant amount of net interest income related to these notes.

GenOn Mid-Atlantic Distributions (GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

For the year ended December 31, 2014, GenOn Mid-Atlantic made a distribution of $320 million to its parent, NRG North America LLC, who in turn made a distribution of $320 million to its parent, GenOn Americas Generation. GenOn Americas Generation subsequently made a distribution in the same amount, through its parent company, NRG Americas, Inc. to GenOn Energy Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of GenOn.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, GenOn Mid-Atlantic made a distribution of $285 million to its parent, NRG North America LLC, who in turn made a distribution of $285 million to its parent, GenOn Americas Generation. GenOn Americas Generation subsequently made a distribution in the same amount, through its parent company, NRG Americas, Inc. to GenOn Energy Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of GenOn.

Purchased Emission Allowances (GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

GenOn Energy Management maintains an inventory of certain purchased emission allowances related to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative on behalf of GenOn Mid-Atlantic. The emission allowances are sold by GenOn Energy Management to GenOn Mid-Atlantic as they are needed for operations. GenOn Mid-Atlantic purchases emission allowances from GenOn Energy Management at GenOn Energy Management's original cost to purchase the allowances. For allowances that have been purchased by GenOn Energy Management from a GenOn Energy affiliate, the price paid by GenOn Energy Management is determined by market indices.

Emission allowances purchased from GenOn Energy Management that were utilized during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012 were $19 million, $17 million, $1 million, and $20 million, respectively, and are recorded in cost of operations — affiliate in GenOn Mid-Atlantic's consolidated statements of operations.

GenOn Mid-Atlantic Operating Leases

GenOn Mid-Atlantic leases a 100% interest in the Dickerson and Morgantown coal generation units and associated property through 2029 and 2034, respectively. GenOn Mid-Atlantic has an option to extend the leases. Any extensions of the respective leases would be for less than 75% of the economic useful life of the facility, as measured from the beginning of the original lease term through the end of the proposed remaining lease term. GenOn Mid-Atlantic accounts for these leases as operating leases and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense totaled $43 million and $41 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3 million for the period from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and $92 million, for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012. Rent expense is included in cost of operations. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, GenOn Mid-Atlantic has paid $157 million and $97 million, respectively, of lease payments in excess of rent expense recognized, which is included in prepaid rent on the consolidated balance sheets. Of these amounts, $71 million is included, for both 2014 and 2013, in prepayments and other current assets (prepayments for GenOn).

For restrictions under these leases, see Note 10, Debt and Capital Leases.

As further described in Note 3, NRG Merger and Dispositions, as a result of pushdown accounting, GenOn Mid-Atlantic recorded the acquisition date fair value of the leasehold improvements of $382 million, classified in property, plant and equipment. In addition, GenOn Mid-Atlantic recorded the acquisition date fair value of the leasehold interests, net of the present value of the lease obligation, equal to an out-of-market liability of $604 million, classified in out-of-market contracts. This liability is amortized to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Future minimum lease commitments under the GenOn Mid-Atlantic operating leases for the years ending after December 31, 2014, are as follows:

REMA Operating Leases (GenOn)

GenOn, through its subsidiary, REMA, leases a 100% interest in the Shawville coal generation facility through 2026, and expects to make payments under the Shawville lease through that date, and leases 16.45% and 16.67% interest in the Keystone and Conemaugh coal generation facilities, respectively, through 2034, and expects to make payments under the Keystone and Conemaugh leases through 2029 in accordance with the terms of the leases. At the expiration of these leases, there are several renewal options related to fair value. GenOn accounts for these leases as operating leases and records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense totaled $29 million, $28 million, $2 million, and $33 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and from January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012, respectively, and is included in cost of operations. GenOn has paid $41 million and $22 million of lease payments in excess of rent expense recognized, which is included in prepayments on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

GenOn operates the Conemaugh and Keystone generating facilities under 5‑year agreements that expire in December 2015 that, subject to certain provisions and notifications, could be terminated annually with 1 year’s notice. GenOn is reimbursed by the other owners for the cost of direct services provided to the Conemaugh and Keystone facilities. Additionally, GenOn received fees of $11 million, $11 million, $1 million, and $9 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the periods from December 15, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and from January 1, 2012 through December 14, 2012, respectively. These fees received, which are recorded as a reduction in cost of operations, are primarily used to cover REMA’s administrative support costs of providing these services.

For restrictions under these leases, see Note 10, Debt and Capital Leases.

113

As further described in Note 3, NRG Merger and Dispositions, as a result of pushdown accounting, GenOn recorded the acquisition date fair value of the leasehold improvements of $66 million, classified in property, plant and equipment. In addition, GenOn recorded the acquisition date fair value of the leasehold interests, net of the present value of the lease obligation, equal to an out-of-market liability of $186 million, classified in out-of-market contracts. This liability is amortized to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

In late April 2014, GenOn notified PJM that it no longer intends to place coal-fired Units 1, 2, 3, and 4 at Shawville generating facility (597 MW) in long term protective layup, but instead will mothball those units beginning on April 16, 2015, and then return those units to service no later than June 1, 2016 using natural gas. Under the lease agreement for Shawville, GenOn's obligations generally are to pay the required rent and to maintain the leased assets in accordance with the lease documentation, including in compliance with prudent competitive electric generating industry practice and applicable laws. See Note 8, Retirements, Mothballing or Long-Term Protective Layup of Generating Facilities, for a discussion of other generating facilities that GenOn expects to mothball in 2015, 2016 or 2017.

Other Operating Leases

The Registrants have commitments under other operating leases with various terms and expiration dates. Included in other operating leases is GenOn’s long-term lease for its corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas which expires in 2018. GenOn Mid-Atlantic has other operating leases which primarily relate to the Chalk Point generating facility. Rent expense for other operating leases is recorded to cost of operations or selling, general and administrative, as applicable, based on the nature of the lease.

The Registrants’ rent expense associated with other operating leases was as follows:

Contingencies

Set forth below is a description of the Registrants’ material legal proceedings. The Registrants believe that they have valid defenses to these legal proceedings and intend to defend them vigorously. The Registrants record reserves for estimated losses from contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. In addition, legal costs are expensed as incurred. Management has assessed each of the following matters based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, considering the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought, and the probability of success. Unless specified below, the Registrants are unable to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or reasonably estimate the scope or amount of any associated costs and potential liabilities. As additional information becomes available, management adjusts its assessment and estimates of such contingencies accordingly. Because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of the Registrants’ liabilities and contingencies could be at amounts that are different from currently recorded reserves and that such difference could be material.

In addition to the legal proceedings noted below, the Registrants are parties to other litigation or legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion, the disposition of these ordinary course matters will not materially adversely affect the Registrants’ respective consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Actions Pursued by MC Asset Recovery (GenOn)

With Mirant Corporation's emergence from bankruptcy protection in 2006, certain actions filed by GenOn Energy Holdings and some of its subsidiaries against third parties were transferred to MC Asset Recovery, a wholly owned subsidiary of GenOn Energy Holdings. MC Asset Recovery is governed by a manager who is independent of NRG and GenOn. MC Asset Recovery is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Under the remaining action transferred to MC Asset Recovery, MC Asset Recovery seeks to recover damages from Commerzbank AG and various other banks, or the Commerzbank Defendants, for alleged fraudulent transfers that occurred prior to Mirant's bankruptcy proceedings. In December 2010, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas dismissed MC Asset Recovery's complaint against the Commerzbank Defendants. In January 2011, MC Asset Recovery appealed the District Court's dismissal of its complaint against the Commerzbank Defendants to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In March 2012, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court's dismissal and reinstated MC Asset Recovery's amended complaint against the Commerzbank Defendants. If MC Asset Recovery succeeds in obtaining any recoveries from the Commerzbank Defendants, the Commerzbank Defendants have asserted that they will seek to file claims in Mirant's bankruptcy proceedings for the amount of those recoveries. GenOn Energy Holdings would vigorously contest the allowance of any such claims. If the Commerzbank Defendants were to receive an allowed claim as a result of a recovery by MC Asset Recovery on its claims against them, GenOn Energy Holdings would retain from the net amount recovered by MC Asset Recovery an amount equal to the dollar amount of the resulting allowed claim.

Pending Natural Gas Litigation (GenOn)

GenOn is party to several lawsuits, certain of which are class action lawsuits, in state and federal courts in Kansas, Missouri, Nevada and Wisconsin. These lawsuits were filed in the aftermath of the California energy crisis in 2000 and 2001 and the resulting FERC investigations and relate to alleged conduct to increase natural gas prices in violation of antitrust and similar laws. The lawsuits seek treble or punitive damages, restitution and/or expenses. The lawsuits also name as parties a number of energy companies unaffiliated with NRG. In July 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, which is handling four of the five cases, granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims against GenOn in those cases. The plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the District Court. On August 26, 2013, GenOn along with the other defendants in the lawsuit filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the Court of Appeals' decision. On July 1, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the petition for a writ of certiorari. On January 12, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument and the case is pending.

In September 2012, the State of Nevada Supreme Court, which is handling the remaining case, affirmed dismissal by the Eighth Judicial District Court for Clark County, Nevada of all plaintiffs' claims against GenOn. In February 2013, the plaintiffs in the Nevada case filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. In June 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari, thereby ending one of the five lawsuits. GenOn has agreed to indemnify CenterPoint against certain losses relating to these lawsuits.

116

Cheswick Class Action Complaint (GenOn)

In April 2012, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against GenOn in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania alleging that emissions from the Cheswick generating facility have damaged the property of neighboring residents. GenOn disputes these allegations. Plaintiffs have brought nuisance, negligence, trespass and strict liability claims seeking both damages and injunctive relief. Plaintiffs seek to certify a class that consists of people who own property or live within one mile of the plant. In July 2012, GenOn removed the lawsuit to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. In October 2012, the District Court granted GenOn’s motion to dismiss, which plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. On August 20, 2013, the Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the District Court. On September 3, 2013, GenOn filed a petition for rehearing with the Court of Appeals which was subsequently denied. In February 2014, NRG filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review and reversal of the Court of Appeals' decision. On June 2, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari. Following the U.S. Supreme Court's denial of GenOn’s petition for a writ of certiorari, the case continued to be litigated before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. After briefing by the parties on GenOn's motion to strike class allegations in the complaint, the court granted GenOn's motion, but allowed the plaintiffs the opportunity to re-file their complaint. On February 3, 2015, plaintiffs sought leave to file an amended complaint, which NRG is contesting.

Cheswick Monarch Mine NOV (GenOn)

In 2008, the PADEP issued an NOV related to the Monarch mine located near the Cheswick generating facility. It has not been mined for many years. GenOn discharged approved wastewaters into the Monarch mine including low-volume wastewater from the Cheswick generating facility and leachate collected from ash disposal facilities. The NOV addresses a permit requirement to pump a minimum water volume from the mine. On September 2, 2014, GenOn's subsidiary that owns the Cheswick generating facility, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the PADEP entered into a Consent Order and Agreement resolving the NOV. Pursuant to that Consent Order and Agreement, GenOn will, among other things, cease wastewater discharges to the mine, construct a waste treatment facility and contribute $200,000 to the Indianola Mine Trust. GenOn is currently planning to incur capital expenditures in connection with wastewater from Cheswick and leachate from ash disposal facilities.

Maryland Department of the Environment v. GenOn Chalk Point and GenOn Mid-Atlantic

On January 25, 2013, Food & Water Watch, the Patuxent Riverkeeper and the Potomac Riverkeeper (together, the Citizens Group) sent GenOn Mid-Atlantic a letter alleging that the Chalk Point, Dickerson and Morgantown generating facilities were violating the terms of the three National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permits by discharging nitrogen and phosphorous in excess of the limits in each permit. On March 21, 2013, the MDE sent GenOn Mid-Atlantic a similar letter with respect to the Chalk Point and Dickerson facilities, threatening to sue within 60 days if the facilities were not brought into compliance. On June 11, 2013, the Maryland Attorney General on behalf of the MDE filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland alleging violations of the CWA and Maryland environmental laws related to water. The lawsuit is ongoing and seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties in excess of $100,000. The Registrants do not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material impact on the Registrants' consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Chapter 11 Proceedings (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation)

In July 2003, and various dates thereafter, the Mirant Debtors filed voluntary petitions in the Bankruptcy Court for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. GenOn Energy Holdings and most of the other Mirant Debtors emerged from bankruptcy on January 3, 2006, when the Plan became effective. The remaining Mirant Debtors emerged from bankruptcy on various dates in 2007. Approximately 461,000 of the shares of GenOn Energy Holdings common stock to be distributed under the Plan have not yet been distributed and have been reserved for distribution with respect to claims disputed by the Mirant Debtors that have not been resolved. Upon the Mirant/RRI Merger, those reserved shares converted into a reserve for approximately 1.3 million shares of GenOn common stock. Upon the NRG Merger, those reserved shares converted into a reserve for approximately 159,000 shares of NRG common stock. Under the terms of the Plan, upon the resolution of such a disputed claim, the claimant will receive the same pro rata distributions of common stock, cash, or both as previously allowed claims, regardless of the price at which the common stock is trading at the time the claim is resolved. If the aggregate amount of any such payouts results in the number of reserved shares being insufficient, additional shares of common stock may be issued to address the shortfall.

Note 17 — Regulatory Matters (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation, GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

The Registrants operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies. As such, the Registrants are affected by regulatory developments at both the federal and state levels and in the regions in which they operate. In addition, the Registrants are subject to the market rules, procedures, and protocols of the various ISO and RTO markets in which they participate. These power markets are subject to ongoing legislative and regulatory changes that may impact the Registrants' wholesale business.

In addition to the regulatory proceedings noted below, the Registrants are parties to other regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or have other regulatory exposure. In management's opinion, the disposition of these ordinary course matters will not materially adversely affect the Registrants’ respective consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

National

East Region (GenOn)

RMR Agreements for Elrama and Niles — In May 2012, GenOn filed with FERC an RMR rate schedule governing operation of unit 4 of the Elrama generating facility and unit 1 of the Niles generating facility. On December 8, 2014, FERC approved a contested settlement finalizing the payments associated with the RMR services provided. The Registrants have made appropriate refunds.

Montgomery County Station Power Tax — On December 20, 2013, NRG received a letter from Montgomery County, Maryland requesting payment of an energy tax for the consumption of station power at the Dickerson Facility over the previous three years. Montgomery County seeks payment in the amount of $22 million, which includes tax, interest and penalties. NRG is disputing the applicability of the tax. On December 17, 2014, the Maryland Tax Court heard oral arguments from the parties. Additional briefing is underway.

118

Note 18 — Environmental Matters (GenOn, GenOn Americas Generation and GenOn Mid-Atlantic)

The Registrants are subject to a wide range of environmental laws in the development, construction, ownership and operation of projects. These laws generally require that governmental permits and approvals be obtained before construction and during operation of power plants. Environmental laws have become increasingly stringent and the Registrants expect this trend to continue. The electric generation industry is likely to face new requirements to address various emissions, including GHG, as well as combustion byproducts, water discharge and use, and threatened and endangered species. In general, future laws are expected to require the addition of emissions controls or other environmental controls or to impose certain restrictions on the operations of the Registrants' facilities, which could have a material effect on the Registrants' operations.

The EPA finalized CSAPR in 2011, which was intended to replace CAIR in January 2012. In December 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stayed the implementation of CSAPR and then issued an opinion in August 2012 vacating CSAPR and keeping CAIR in place until the EPA could replace it. On April 29, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded the D.C. Circuit's decision. In October 2014, the D.C. Circuit lifted the stay of CSAPR. In response, the EPA issued an interim final rule in November 2014 to amend the CSAPR compliance dates. Accordingly, CSAPR replaced CAIR on January 1, 2015. On February 25, 2015, the D.C. Circuit held oral argument regarding several unresolved legal issues and the Registrants expect a decision in the second quarter of 2015. While the Registrants cannot predict the final outcome of the ongoing litigation, the Registrants believe their investment in pollution controls and cleaner technologies coupled with planned plant retirements should leave the fleet well positioned for compliance.

In December 2014, the EPA proposed making the NAAQS for ozone more stringent. The EPA anticipates promulgating a more stringent ozone NAAQS by October 2015. A more stringent NAAQS would obligate the states to develop plans to reduce NOx (an ozone precursor), which might affect some of the Registrants' units.

In February 2012, the EPA promulgated standards to control emissions of HAPs from coal and oil-fired electric generating units. The rule established limits for mercury, non-mercury metals, certain organics and acid gases, which limits must be met beginning in April 2015 (with some units getting a 1-year extension). In November 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review the D.C. Circuit decision that denied the petitions seeking to vacate MATS but the review will be limited to whether the EPA unreasonably refused to consider costs in determining whether it is appropriate to regulate hazardous air pollutants emitted by electric generating units. The oral argument in the Supreme Court is scheduled for March 2015.

In January 2014, the EPA re-proposed the NSPS for CO₂ emissions from new fossil-fuel-fired electric generating units that had been previously proposed in April 2012. The re-proposed standards are 1,000 pounds of CO₂ per MWh for large gas units and 1,100 pounds of CO₂ per MWh for coal units and small gas units. Proposed standards are in effect until a final rule is published or another rule is re-proposed. In June 2014, the EPA proposed a rule that would require states to develop CO₂ emission standards that would apply to existing fossil-fueled generating facilities. Specifically, the EPA proposed state-specific rate-based standards for CO₂ emissions, as well as guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to achieve the state-specific goals. The EPA anticipates finalizing these rules in the summer of 2015.

Water

In August 2014, the EPA finalized the regulation regarding once through cooling from existing facilities to address impingement and entrainment concerns. The Registrants anticipate that more stringent requirements will be incorporated into some of their water discharge permits over the next several years.

Byproducts, Wastes, Hazardous Materials and Contamination

In December 2014, the EPA released a pre-publication version of a final rule that when published in the Federal Register will regulate byproducts of coal combustion (e.g., ash and gypsum) as solid wastes under the RCRA. In 2010, the EPA had proposed two alternatives. Under the first proposal, these byproducts would be regulated as solid wastes. Under the second proposal, these byproducts would have been regulated as “special wastes” in a manner similar to the regulation of hazardous waste with an exception for certain types of beneficial use of these byproducts. The second alternative would have imposed significantly more stringent requirements and materially increased the cost of disposal of coal combustion byproducts. The Registrants are evaluating the impact of the new rule on their results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Note 19 — Guarantees (GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation)

GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation and their respective subsidiaries enter into various contracts that include indemnification and guarantee provisions as a routine part of their business activities. Examples of these contracts include asset purchases and sale agreements, commodity sale and purchase agreements, retail contracts, EPC agreements, operation and maintenance agreements, service agreements, settlement agreements, and other types of contractual agreements with vendors and other third parties, as well as affiliates. These contracts generally indemnify the counterparty for tax, environmental liability, litigation and other matters, as well as breaches of representations, warranties and covenants set forth in these agreements. In some cases, GenOn’s and GenOn Americas Generation’s maximum potential liability cannot be estimated, since the underlying agreements contain no limits on potential liability.

The following table summarizes the maximum potential exposures that can be estimated for guarantees, indemnities, and other contingent liabilities by maturity:

Letters of credit and surety bonds — As of December 31, 2014, GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation and their respective subsidiaries were contingently obligated for a total of $82 million and $7 million under surety bonds, respectively. In addition, $237 million of letters of credit were issued under the NRG credit agreement with GenOn. See Note 15, Related Party Transactions. Of those letters of credit, $173 million were issued on behalf of GenOn Americas Generation's subsidiaries and $0 million were issued on behalf of GenOn Mid-Atlantic. Most of these letters of credit are issued in support of their obligations to perform under commodity agreements and surety bonds are issued for obligations associated with future closure and maintenance of ash sites, as well as for financing or other arrangements. A majority of these surety bonds expire within one year of issuance, and it is typical for GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation to renew them on similar terms.

Commercial sales arrangements — In connection with the purchase and sale of fuel, emission allowances and power generation products to and from third parties with respect to the operation of some of GenOn’s and GenOn Americas Generation’s generation facilities in the U.S., they may be required to guarantee a portion of the obligations of certain of their subsidiaries. These obligations may include liquidated damages payments or other unscheduled payments. At December 31, 2014, GenOn is contingently obligated for a total of $101 million under such guarantees issued on behalf of GenOn Americas Generation's subsidiaries. GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation do not believe that they will be required to make any material payments under these commercial sales agreements.

Other guarantees — GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation have issued guarantees of obligations that their subsidiaries may incur as a provision for environmental site remediation, payment of debt obligations, rail car leases, performance under purchase, EPC and operating and maintenance agreements. In addition, at December 31, 2014, GenOn Energy Holdings has issued $4 million of guarantees on behalf of a GenOn Americas Generation subsidiary related to settlement agreement obligations. GenOn has also guaranteed some non-qualified benefits of CenterPoint’s existing retirees at September 20, 2002. The estimated maximum potential amount of future payments under the CenterPoint guarantee is $56 million at December 31, 2014 (included in the table above) and $2 million is recorded in the GenOn balance sheet for this item. GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation do not believe that they will be required to make any material payments under these guarantees.

Other indemnities — Other indemnifications GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation have provided cover operational, tax, litigation and breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation have also indemnified, on a routine basis in the ordinary course of business, financing parties, consultants or other vendors who have provided services to them. GenOn’s and GenOn Americas Generation’s maximum potential exposure under these indemnifications can range from a specified dollar amount to an indeterminate amount, depending on the nature of the transaction. Total maximum potential exposure under these indemnifications is not estimable due to uncertainty as to whether claims will be made or how they will be resolved. GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation do not believe that they will be required to make any material payments under these indemnity provisions.

Because many of the guarantees and indemnities GenOn and GenOn Americas Generation issue to third parties and affiliates do not limit the amount or duration of their obligations to perform under them, there exists a risk that GenOn or GenOn Americas Generation may have obligations in excess of the amounts described above. For those guarantees and indemnities that do not limit the liability exposure, it may not be possible to estimate what GenOn’s or GenOn Americas Generation’s liability would be, until a claim is made for payment or performance, due to the contingent nature of these contracts.

GENON ENERGY, INC. (PARENT)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X, as the restricted net assets of GenOn Energy Inc.’s subsidiaries exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of GenOn Energy, Inc. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements and notes thereto of the Registrants.

RRI Energy (a Delaware corporation) changed its name from Reliant Energy, Inc. effective May 2009 in connection with the sale of its retail business. GenOn changed its name from RRI Energy effective December 3, 2010 in connection with the merger with Mirant. “GenOn” refers to GenOn Energy, Inc. and, except where the context indicates otherwise, its subsidiaries, after giving effect to the Mirant/RRI Merger.

NRG Merger

On July 20, 2012, GenOn entered into the NRG Merger Agreement with NRG and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the NRG Merger Agreement, which was approved by the boards of directors of GenOn and NRG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG merged with and into GenOn, with GenOn continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG.

Upon closing of the NRG Merger, each issued and outstanding share of GenOn’s common stock automatically converted into the right to receive 0.1216 shares of common stock of NRG based on the NRG Merger Exchange Ratio. All outstanding stock options (other than options granted in 2012) immediately vested and all outstanding stock options generally converted upon completion of the NRG Merger into stock options with respect to NRG common stock, after giving effect to the NRG Merger Exchange Ratio. In addition, all outstanding restricted stock units (other than restricted stock units granted in 2012) immediately vested and all outstanding restricted stock units were exchanged for the NRG Merger consideration. All outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units granted in 2012 will vest per the terms and conditions of the grant, and if the holder is terminated, upon the holder’s termination date if the termination is as a result of the NRG Merger and within two years of the closing date. See Note 3, NRG Merger and Dispositions, to the Registrants’ consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

Upon completion of the Mirant/RRI Merger, Mirant stockholders had a majority of the voting interest in the combined company. Although RRI Energy issued shares of RRI Energy common stock to Mirant stockholders to effect the Mirant/RRI Merger, the Mirant/RRI Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, Mirant is treated as the accounting acquirer and RRI Energy is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. As such, the condensed financial statements of GenOn Energy, Inc. (parent) include the results of GenOn Energy, Inc. for the periods from December 3, 2010, and include the results of GenOn Energy Holdings (former parent) through December 2, 2010. The condensed financial statements presented herein for periods ended prior to the closing of the Mirant/RRI Merger (and any other financial information presented herein with respect to such pre‑merger dates, unless otherwise specified) are the condensed financial statements and other financial information of Mirant.

Equity in income/loss of affiliates consists of earnings of direct subsidiaries of GenOn Energy, Inc. (parent).

Predecessor and Successor Reporting

Upon completion of the NRG Merger, NRG stockholders had a majority of the voting interest in the combined company. The NRG Merger is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, NRG is treated as the accounting acquirer and GenOn is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. As such, the assets and liabilities of GenOn Energy, Inc. were recorded at their respective fair values as of the NRG Merger date. Fair value adjustments related to the NRG Merger have been pushed down to GenOn Energy, Inc., resulting in certain assets and liabilities of the Registrants being recorded at fair value at December 15, 2012. See Note 3, NRG Merger, to the Registrants’ consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

125

As a result of the impact of pushdown accounting, the financial statements and certain note presentations separate GenOn Energy, Inc.’s presentations into two distinct periods, the period before the consummation of the NRG Merger (labeled predecessor) and the period after that date (labeled successor), to indicate the application of different basis of accounting between the periods presented.

Cash Dividends Received
