Project Development
From Blueprint to Baseload
NEP develops, finances, owns, and operates nuclear projects under a Build, Own, Operate model — delivering reliable baseload power through long-term contracts with utilities and industrial clients.
The Challenge
Nuclear is essential for the clean energy transition — but it is hard to finance. Projects demand billions in upfront capital, years before first revenues, and face political, regulatory, and construction risks. These challenges raise the cost of capital, often making projects appear “too difficult” for private investment.
Our Solution
NEP is both a project developer and Independent Power Producer (IPP). We pursue a Build, Own, Operate (BOO) model that ensures alignment with investors, governments, and offtakers.
Our Advisory practice informs every project — from due diligence to feasibility — ensuring decisions are data-driven and financially sound.
End-to-End Development
Siting, licensing, vendor selection, contracting, construction, operations planning.
Technology Agnostic
Gen III+, SMRs, Gen IV — chosen for readiness and context.
Financing Integration
Projects structured around investor requirements and offtake agreements.
Utility & Industrial Deployment
Focused on baseload for utilities and long-term clean energy for industry and data centers.
The Outcome
Unlike advisory-only firms, NEP assumes construction risk, ownership, and operational delivery. Our projects are designed for bankability, scalability, and resilience — ensuring affordable, reliable nuclear energy supply.
Our Business Model
NEP’s business model is designed to make nuclear projects investable, scalable, and resilient. We are not simply a developer — we are a sponsor, structurer, and partner.
Technology-Agnostic Strategy
We select the most suitable reactor designs — from Gen III+ utility-scale to Gen IV microreactors and fusion technology — based on commercial readiness, regulatory approval, and client requirements.
Capital Formation
We propose a simple capital structure — equity plus a construction loan — de-risked with committed capital from NEP to ensure project completion.
Partnership-Driven Development
We unite governments, utilities, industries, and institutional investors in a shared framework that ensures commitment and alignment from day one.
Performance Accountability
Unlike advisory-only firms, NEP and partners assume construction risk and operational delivery.
Revenue Stability
We embed long-term offtake agreements — PPAs, CfDs, and RAB frameworks — to stabilize revenues, reduce cost of capital, and ensure affordable, reliable energy supply.
Who We Work With
- Industrial Offtakers — securing reliable, cost-stable clean energy for decades.
- Utilities and Independent Power Producers — developing new baseload generation.
- Governments and Regulators — creating frameworks that enable new nuclear capacity.
- Institutional Investors and Multilateral Banks — accessing resilient, inflation-protected returns.
