- NEP provides cost saving, profit sharing,
utility solutions to property companies. NEP makes properties more profitable through advanced water, gas and electric sub- metering solutions, and utility construction services.
- Nationwide Energy Partners replaces the
traditional electric utility. All energy for the property is measured at the primary meter, and NEP then provides power to the property and tenants.
- NEP will also build a water utility system into
the property and each individual unit, collect all meter data and bill each unit for its water consumption.
- NEP has created a value model to ensure
commercial properties are paying the lowest cost possible for their electric service.
- Building a business takes time, it takes
knowledge and it takes capital: we have all 3
- We do not
- have premature exit requirements,
- starve a growing company of capital, or
- invest in a business for a quick flip
- We can hold our investments for as long as
they demonstrate value that is greater than a sale The power of compounding is on our side – patient capital can be amply rewarded in our NAV growth
We are permanent private equity, not a fund
