Electricity demand is growing. But do we really need to build new generation for every new megawatt of demand? On The Energy Gang Podcast, Vistra’s Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer, Stacey Doré, challenges some of the conventional thinking around load growth. Her argument: the near-term challenge isn’t a lack of power. It’s connecting new customers faster and making better use of the generation, storage, and demand flexibility already on the system. The conversation also gets into a bigger question: are competitive or regulated markets better suited to meet the moment?

The next chapter of nuclear energy isn’t only about building new plants. It’s about maximizing output from the plants we already have. At #NECX2026, Vistra Chief Nuclear Officer Ken Peters joined industry leaders to discuss how we can get more from America’s existing nuclear fleet. At Vistra, we’re planning to add 433 MW of generation through uprates at our nuclear plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Moving projects like these forward takes more than investment in the plants themselves. Strong partnerships and long-term power purchase agreements provide the certainty needed to make them possible. With bipartisan support and accelerating electricity demand, the opportunity for existing nuclear is significant: Greater output. Longer operating lives. Reliable power for what comes next.

Did you know? Women make up nearly one-third of the U.S. nuclear generation workforce. That includes talented professionals across Vistra's nuclear fleet who are leading teams, sharing expertise, and helping advance the future of nuclear energy. This month, women from all four Vistra nuclear plants joined peers and leaders from across the country at the 2026 U.S. Women in Nuclear (U.S. WIN) National Conference in Seattle. From discussions on workforce development to relicensing and policy, these Vistra team members built valuable industry connections and brought new ideas back to their sites. Reinvigorated and ready for next year! #NuclearEnergy #WomenInNuclear #USWIN2026

Every summer, we're reminded that the future of our industry is already getting to work. For the past several weeks, 113 interns representing universities across the U.S. gained hands-on experience across Vistra Corp. From power generation, including 44 interns supporting our nuclear fleet, to retail and corporate teams, they tackled real work, brought fresh ideas, and made meaningful contributions from day one. Our internship program is about more than giving students experience. By developing future leaders and strengthening our talent pipeline, we’re building the workforce that will power our industry for years to come. Thank you to each of our interns for your curiosity, hard work, and willingness to jump in. Your contributions made a difference, and we hope to welcome many of you back again!

At Vistra, sustainability isn't a standalone initiative. It's embedded in how we operate, invest, and serve our customers. Our 2025 Sustainability Report highlights the progress we’re making to strengthen our generation portfolio, sustain reliable, affordable electricity, support our employees and communities, and create long-term value. As we look ahead, we’ll continue building the energy future while staying true to our purpose of lighting up lives and powering a better way forward.

As summer temperatures rise, strong community partnerships matter. Through Vistra's annual Beat the Heat campaign, our Dynegy team and employees at the Fairless Power Plant partnered with the Bucks County Opportunity Council to provide a $10,000 grant, helping distribute 400 box fans to households across Bucks County, PA. As we continue to grow our presence in the Commonwealth with the addition of the Fairless Power Plant earlier this year, we're building lasting partnerships that strengthen the region. Since 2020, Vistra and Dynegy have invested more than $500,000 across Pennsylvania. Supporting our neighbors isn't a seasonal effort. It's part of our long-term commitment to the communities we serve.

Some programs last a year. Others become traditions. For more than 25 years, our Beat the Heat program has helped people stay safe during the hottest days of summer. What started as a simple effort to support neighbors in need has become one of our longest-running community programs, reaching families, seniors, and others most vulnerable to extreme heat, year after year. This summer, TXU Energy will once again partner with trusted nonprofit organizations across Texas to: • Distribute more than 5,000 box fans • Provide 600 window air conditioning units • Support community cooling centers • Host more than 30 outreach events across the state Supporting the communities we serve has always been at the heart of Beat the Heat, and we’re proud to continue that commitment this summer.
