Risk Management
Turning Risk into Investable Opportunity
Through our PRIME risk engine, NEP transforms uncertainty into transparency — and transparency into bankability — enabling nuclear projects to attract and deploy capital with confidence.
The Challenge
Nuclear projects are essential to the clean energy transition, but their capital intensity has historically created barriers. Cost overruns, regulatory delays, and uncertain revenues inflate perceived risk — raising the cost of capital and deterring investment.
For institutional investors, the principle is clear:
- If risk cannot be quantified, risk cannot be priced.
- If risk cannot be priced, capital will not be invested.
Without a trusted framework for risk, many projects stall before they begin.
Our Solution: PRIME
NEP’s Project Risk Informed Management & Engineering (PRIME) model is the analytical backbone of our platform.
Informed by Data
Risks defined and modeled with second-order effects.
Structured with Precision
Quantified risks are managed proactively.
Aligned in Execution
Embedded in the PMO of every project, integrating engineering oversight and financial discipline.
Where PRIME Resides
PRIME is not an external tool — it resides within the Program Management Office (PMO) of each nuclear project. By embedding PRIME in the PMO, risk management becomes inseparable from project execution. Engineering oversight, financial discipline, and risk modeling operate as one system, ensuring that assumptions remain aligned with delivery and that investor confidence is maintained throughout the project lifecycle.
The Outcome
PRIME transforms megaprojects into trusted, investable infrastructure.
By embedding risk management in every stage of Advisory and Project Development, NEP ensures nuclear projects are predictable, bankable, and deliverable.
