The company's power generation portfolio consists of approximately 13,900 megawatts of baseload, intermediate and peaking power plants fueled by a mix of coal, fuel oil and natural gas.

Dynegy has the capacity to generate enough electricity to power nearly 10 million homes nationwide. The company serves residential, municipal, commercial and industrial customers through its Homefield Energy business in Illinois.

For 2012, Dynegy reported revenues of $1.29 billion and net income of $8 million. The company emerged from bankruptcy in 2012.

The company's name is from the combination of dynamic and energy.
