NEP makes it easy to pay your bill, modify account details, and access FAQs.
Built on a Multifamily Foundation, Grown with Energy Expertise
NEP was started in 1999 in Columbus, Ohio, by the founder and CEO of Lifestyle Communities (LC), a multifamily developer focused on creating a lifestyle brand where communities become the catalyst for connection. As the Energy Solutions division of LC, NEP quickly expanded across Central Ohio, throughout the Midwest, and beyond. NEP’s approach is superior to traditional host utility or fee-based submetering models. As the fastest-growing energy solutions company in the Midwest, NEP has more than $55 million in capital invested in our partner communities.
