GenConn Energy LLC, a 50/50 joint venture between NRG and The United Illuminating Company, secured contracts in 2008 with Connecticut Light & Power to construct and operate two 200 MW peaking facilities at NRG's Devon (Milford) and Middletown sites.
Devon is scheduled to come on line by June 2010 and Middletown should reach commercial operations by June 2011.

The projects are part of "Repowering NRG" to optimize existing facilities with new, efficient and environmentally responsible power generation.
