NSEC's Utility & EPC division is the downstream of the platform: PPA origination, FERC / PURPA / NERC regulatory structuring, and full-stack engineering, procurement, and construction for tribal utilities, commercial counterparties, and public-sector offtake. Every Crius module that rolls off Atlas can be manufactured, sold, developed, permitted, built, and energized — all within the NSEC platform.
Customers can engage a single line — module supply, PPA structuring, EPC build, regulatory advisory — or the full stack under one master agreement. The platform was designed so they don't have to coordinate five vendors to get a project energized.
Structured power purchase agreements for schools, municipalities, tribal utilities, and commercial offtakers. No-upfront-cost financing structures designed to cut energy bills, modernize facilities, and reinvest savings into the host institution.
FERC, PURPA, and NERC compliance for tribal and commercial counterparties entering wholesale energy markets. Qualifying Facility structuring, cross-border tribal-state interconnection, wheeling and service territory work.
Full engineering, procurement, and construction for utility-scale solar, distributed generation, and community-scale systems. NSEC modules, domestic content BOM, and a construction partner network built around Oklahoma and adjacent markets.
Long-term O&M services, performance monitoring, and energy-yield management for PPA-originated projects. Keeps NSEC aligned with offtaker interests over the full life of the power agreement, not just through commissioning.
The Utility division was structured specifically for counterparties who need someone who speaks FERC, PURPA, NERC, and tribal utility law fluently. These aren't checkboxes — they are the regulatory environment inside which every utility-scale project lives or dies.
K-12 districts, community colleges, and municipal offtakers across Oklahoma and Texas. Smart PPA structures cut energy costs with no upfront capital and reinvest savings into education, infrastructure, and public services.
Tribal utility authorities, tribal nations exploring energy sovereignty, and tribal enterprise offtake. Supported by NSEC's affiliate Native American Utility Company for sovereignty-compatible structuring.
Manufacturing, logistics, and commercial real estate offtakers seeking domestic-content solar, battery storage integration, and long-term energy cost stability. Commercial I&C siting, design, and build-out.
The Utility & EPC division is designed to scale in lockstep with HelioForge production. Phase 1 is active. Phase 2 begins with Atlas go-live. Phase 3 follows Nexus first cell. The team grows with the platform, not ahead of it.
PPA origination leadership, regulatory counsel, and early commercial development. Focused on Oklahoma and Texas public-sector offtake. Nate Harkins (Chief of Staff) coordinating. Small team, high activation.
EPC engineering leadership, project management capacity, construction partner network formalization. Begins as Atlas Phase 1 Crius Series 5 modules come off the line and enter the downstream market.
O&M capacity, performance monitoring infrastructure, and long-term asset management. Builds as the Utility division's PPA portfolio accumulates commissioned operating projects.
The Utility, EPC & Energy Services division is a full-stack operating unit of Native Sun Energy Company, structured to serve three distinct customer types — public-sector, tribal, and commercial — under one regulatory and commercial framework.
It sits downstream of HelioForge manufacturing but operates as a separate P&L with its own hiring plan, customer acquisition, and contracting. This lets the division originate PPA projects that use Crius Series modules from Atlas — creating a proprietary sales channel for NSEC manufacturing output — while still serving third-party clients who need regulatory and EPC capacity independent of module procurement.
The Company's affiliated entity, Native American Utility Company, operates independently and supports the Utility division on tribal-counterparty work where sovereignty compatibility and neutral advisory are required.
