Talen Energy no longer serves US households

After Riverstone Holdings took Talen Energy private in a $5.2 billion transaction in late 2016, Talen exited the residential and small-business retail-supply market in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The parent company refocused on its wholesale-generation business (notably the Susquehanna nuclear plant in Pennsylvania) and only continues to serve large commercial and industrial customers under bilateral contracts.
