NextNRG Signs Letter of Intent for Two Healthcare Facility Smart Microgrid Projects in Los Angeles County

Strategic expansion into essential healthcare sector demonstrates NextNRG's energy-agnostic technology and own-and-operate model

Projects establish NextNRG as dedicated energy provider under long-term contracts to facilities requiring mandatory continuous power

MIAMI, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextNRG, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXXT), a pioneer in AI driven energy innovation transforming how energy is produced, managed, and delivered through its Next Utility Operating System®, smart microgrids, wireless EV charging, and mobile fuel delivery, today announced it has signed a letter of intent to develop critical energy infrastructure for two healthcare facilities operated by Sunnyside Nursing and Post-Acute Care (Sunnyside) and Topanga Terrace Rehabilitation & Subacute (Topanga) in Los Angeles, California.

NextNRG will own and operate the complete smart microgrid systems and sell electricity directly to both facilities under separate 28-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), establishing predictable long-term revenue streams in the essential healthcare sector where continuous, reliable power is not just preferred but mandatory. The PPA for the Sunnyside facility will generate revenue at $0.25 per kWh with a 2% annual escalator, while the Topanga facility will generate revenue at $0.22 per kWh with a 2% annual escalator, providing NextNRG with contracted cash flows extending through 2053.

NextNRG will design, build, own and operate comprehensive smart microgrid systems for each facility, then sell electricity from these NextNRG-owned grids to the healthcare facilities. The energy infrastructure will incorporate generation through solar and renewable sources, as well as battery storage for enhanced reliability. All components will be integrated into comprehensive smart microgrids powered by NextNRG's proprietary UOS (Utility Operating System) and SmartGrid technology. Each system will feature up to 830 kWh DC of solar photovoltaic capacity and 2.2 MWh of battery energy storage with ground-mounted solar arrays.

By combining batteries with generators, NextNRG will significantly reduce the risk of power outages while ensuring compliance with HCAI (Healthcare Access and Information) requirements. The healthcare facilities gain operational resilience and access to tax incentives, while NextNRG establishes a strategic foothold in the highly regulated and lucrative healthcare sector.

"These projects represent our strategic entry into the healthcare market, where energy reliability is mandatory rather than optional," said Michael D. Farkas, Founder and CEO of NextNRG. "The 28-year contracted revenue from selling electricity generated by our owned infrastructure provides exceptional visibility and stability, while demonstrating our software's ability to manage and optimize power from any source. This energy-agnostic functionality positions us to capture significant opportunities across the healthcare sector, where facilities require uninterrupted power for life-safety systems and patient care."

The projects showcase NextNRG's proprietary technology platform designed to optimize and manage diverse energy inputs through advanced artificial intelligence, including traditional grid power, renewable sources, solar, and emerging technologies. This energy-agnostic capability provides maximum flexibility for healthcare facilities while demonstrating NextNRG's ability to serve as a complete energy solution provider rather than just a renewable energy company.

Healthcare facilities represent a particularly compelling market opportunity for NextNRG's own-and-operate model. Hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities prioritize energy reliability and long-term cost predictability, making them ideal candidates for long-term PPA arrangements. The healthcare sector's essential nature and regulatory requirements create a stable customer base with predictable energy needs and willingness to pay for enhanced reliability.

The addressable market for NextNRG's smart microgrid solutions in the healthcare sector is substantial, with 15,300 nursing homes and 32,231 assisted living facilities across the United States. These facilities are subject to stringent regulatory requirements mandating backup power systems to ensure continuous operation of life-safety equipment, HVAC systems, and critical care infrastructure. NextNRG's comprehensive smart microgrids provide a superior alternative to traditional diesel generators, offering cleaner, more reliable backup storage while meeting all applicable healthcare regulations and emergency preparedness standards. NextNRG’s TAM in healthcare microgrids is roughly $3.2 billion in annual revenue opportunity today, growing into the $7–8 billion range by the early 2030s, driven by resilient infrastructure needs, AI integration, and regulatory tailwinds.

"The healthcare sector represents a massive market opportunity where our ownership model and technology create significant value," added Mr. Farkas. "These facilities cannot afford power interruptions, and our comprehensive smart microgrid solutions powered by machine learning provide the energy security they require while generating stable, long-term cash flows for NextNRG from our owned energy assets. We see substantial potential to replicate this ownership and energy sales model across thousands of healthcare facilities nationwide."

These projects build on NextNRG's recent momentum, including its partnership with Hudson Sustainable Group, inclusion in the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® indexes, and record-breaking revenue growth with preliminary May 2025 revenue of $6.6 million representing 148% year-over-year growth. The healthcare market expansion complements NextNRG's established mobile fueling operations across six U.S. states with 144 active delivery trucks.

The agreement advances NextNRG's strategy of deploying next-generation energy infrastructure through its integrated ecosystem of AI-optimized solutions, establishing the company as a leader in intelligent energy management and delivery across essential service sectors.
