  • 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
