HOUSTON, July 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- At Reliant, we
make sure every customer and every Watt counts, and we mean it.
Case in point: our appointment of the new Vice President of Power
Relations. Effective immediately, Justin James "J.J." Watt will
play this role, where he will tackle tough power issues, sack
energy inefficiencies and pile up the wins for customers.
"It is quite an honor to be named the first ever VP of Power
Relations here at Reliant. While it may come as a bit of a
surprise, it's just one of many that Reliant has in store for
our fans and customers," said Watt. "I look forward to working with
my new teammates and helping Reliant and NRG reach new audiences
with energy offerings. It's all about unexpected solutions when
you're looking to be the best."
"Today we make another bold move in ushering in the Era of
Personal Power," said Elizabeth
Killinger, president of NRG Retail and Reliant. "Smart
energy and home solutions, all the way from home security to new
energy management tools and apps, are truly changing the way we
make, manage and use power and live our lives. We're thrilled to
bring on an exceptional, powerful team player like J.J. to help
Reliant and NRG continue doing more for our customers and leading
the transformation of the energy industry. Adding this Watt to our
power resources gives people one more reason to rely on Reliant and
NRG for all of their energy and home service needs."
As Watt's first official act, the 6'5", 289-pound defensive end
will use all his energy to roll out the Reliant Texans Plan. To

"I switched things up and went on the offensive with this plan,
trying to put the fans first and make sure y'all are well taken
care of," Watt said. "Everything that I do, whether it be on the
field or off, is about taking things to the next level. My
commitment to this new position is all about raising the bar, just
