~~Item 5. Other~~TABLE ~~Events~~ OF CONTENTS

	A.		On October 18, 2002, NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG), parent company of the registrant and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xcel Energy Inc. (“Xcel”), announced that it had reached an agreement with certain of its bank lenders to extend until November 15, the deadline by which it must post approximately $1 billion of cash collateral in connection with certain bank loan agreements. The extension agreement calls for NRG to submit a comprehensive restructuring plan to its lenders and bondholders by late October. The extension agreement does not waive other events of default, including failure to make principal and/or interest payments when due or failure to comply with financial covenants. Nor does the extension agreement waive the rights of the bank groups or bondholders to pursue any rights and remedies in respect of such other defaults. Since the extension agreement does not contemplate NRG making any principal or interest payments on its corporate-level debt during the extension period, NRG will be in default under various debt instruments. The lenders will be able, if they so choose, to accelerate the payment of indebtedness owed to them which would likely lead to a bankruptcy filing by NRG.
	B.		On October 18, 2002 NRG also announced the filing by The Shaw Group Inc. (“Shaw”) of an involuntary petition for liquidation of LSP-Pike Energy, LLC (“Pike”) under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Shaw, the contractor for NRG’s Pike power plant construction project in Holmesville, Mississippi, also filed suit against NRG and Xcel alleging claims connected with the Pike project. Previously, NRG announced that Pike and NRG had reached an agreement with Shaw to transfer the Pike project’s assets to Shaw in exchange for forgiveness of sums owed to Shaw and a cash payment of $43 million by Shaw to Pike and NRG. To date, Pike, NRG and its lenders have not approved this agreement.

The notice of acceleration renders the approximately $750 million in debt, which is non-recourse to NRG Energy, immediately due and payable.

Exhibit No.		Description
99.1		Second Collateral Call Extension Letter dated as of September 13, 2002 between NRG and certain of its banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders.

Based on discussions with the bondholders, it is NRG’s understanding that the bond trustee issued the acceleration notice to preserve certain rights, and NRG continues negotiations with bondholders.

~~SIGNATURES~~NRG will continue to work with its lenders toward an overall restructuring of NRG’s debt, and does not believe that the NRG South Central Generating bondholders’ action will negatively affect the course of those discussions.
