Fitch cuts GenOn Energy

Fitch Ratings said it affirmed the issuer default ratings of NRG Energy, Inc. at B+ and downgraded the issuer default rating of GenOn Energy, Inc. to B- from B.

The agency said the rating actions follow completion of the merger of GenOn into NRG.

Fitch also downgraded the ratings of GenOn Americas Generation, LLC and GenOn Mid-Atlantic, LLC to B from B+.

Additionally, the agency removed the NRG and GenOn entities from rating watch negative. The outlook is stable.

Fitch said it has determined that a weak linkage relationship exists between NRG and GenOn and, therefore, the ratings are being assigned to NRG and GenOn based on the respective standalone credit profiles.
