Our collaborative process with the leadership team resulted in a flexible facility that provides immediate and follow-on funding to support NEP’s key strategic projects.”

“Comvest displayed creativity and diligence in navigating the complex energy market to deliver a financing package structured to help NEP execute our growth strategy more quickly and efficiently,” said Timothy J. (T.J.) Harper, President of NEP. “In addition, Comvest’s ability to increase the size of the facility over time was a key factor in our choice of provider. This relationship enables NEP to continue providing exceptional energy management services to our current multifamily partners while further expanding in new and existing markets across the United States.”
