The agreement, which runs through at least the end of the 2017
football season, is Wentz’s first major endorsement deal for a
Philadelphia-based company.
“I’m so excited and proud to support NRG,” Wentz said. “I love
that they provide their customers with so many energy options and
great service. But more importantly, I love that they are based in
Philly and do so much to support the local community.”
NRG supports the community in many ways, including its NRG
Gives and Choose to Give programs. NRG Gives allows
people to vote for one of three nonprofits to receive as much as
$100,000. Choose to Give is an electricity plan where NRG donates
money to various charities when customers sign up, and then
contributes a portion of the customer’s bill to that charity as
long as they remain a customer.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Carson on the NRG team,”
said NRG general manager Mike Starck. “Carson is a great guy. He’s
a leader. He is the future of the Eagles, and he will help NRG
clearly show the incredible potential of the future of energy.”
Delaware Valley consumers have electricity choice and that means
people can pick the options that meet their energy needs. As an NRG
brand ambassador, Wentz will help customers understand the wide
variety of NRG products and services available to its customers.
These include NRG’s Eagles Fan Plan, which provides customers an
authentic Eagles helmet, NRG’s new electricity and natural gas
bundle offer, and NRG Home Solar for residents in New Jersey.
Wentz joins Eagles defensive lineman Connor Barwin as an NRG
ambassador. Barwin has represented NRG since 2014 and is
particularly committed to NRG’s sustainability efforts, including
its rooftop solar business. As the official energy provider of the
Philadelphia Eagles, NRG powers Lincoln Financial Field with
sustainable energy solutions, including more than 11,000 solar
panels and micro wind turbines. NRG also provides fans inside
Lincoln Financial Field with a personal power option called NRG Go,
portable power kiosks, which allow people to rent power packs to
keep their mobile devices charged.
This new relationship with Carson Wentz reinforces the strong
relationship between NRG and the Eagles and shows just how bright
the future is for both NRG and the Eagles.
