(Nasdaq: NXXT)\n(\"NextNRG\" or the \"Company\"), a pioneer in AI-driven energy innovation\ntransforming how energy is produced, managed and delivered, today announced it\nhas secured a 25-year contract with Taft Medical Complex in Hollywood,\nFlorida. Under the contract, NextNRG will deploy and manage an integrated\nenergy ecosystem combining solar generation, battery storage, its proprietary\nAI-driven Microgrid Controller and EV charging infrastructure, while providing\nongoing energy services to the facility.\n\nHealthcare facilities face increasingly stringent requirements to maintain\nreliable backup power for critical operations. In Florida, Administrative Code\nRule 59A-4.1265, adopted following Hurricane Irma, requires nursing homes and\nassisted living facilities to maintain at least 96 hours of backup power\nduring an outage. These requirements are creating a regulatory-driven need for\nhealthcare operators to identify and implement reliable on-site energy\nsolutions capable of supporting critical operations when the grid is\nunavailable.\n\nThe opportunity represents a significant addressable market for NextNRG. The\nglobal healthcare microgrid market was approximately $3.45 billion in 2024 and\nis projected to reach approximately $10.16 billion by 2033, driven by aging\ngrid infrastructure, rising outage risks and increasing backup-power\nrequirements for healthcare facilities. Taft Medical Complex itself serves as\nthe main office for a Broward County medical group operating six locations and\nmore than a dozen providers, illustrating the potential to extend NextNRG's\nenergy infrastructure model across multi-site healthcare organizations and\nadditional campuses.\n\nBeyond helping healthcare facilities meet backup-power requirements, NextNRG's\nmicrogrid solutions are designed to deliver operational and economic benefits,\nincluding peak-demand shaving, lower energy costs, improved resilience and\nmore streamlined management of on-site energy infrastructure. These\ncapabilities can help healthcare operators optimize energy use while\nstrengthening the resiliency of critical facilities.\n\n\"Healthcare is exactly the kind of regulated market our platform was built\nfor,\" said Michael D. Farkas, Founder and CEO of NextNRG. \"These are\nfacilities where losing power isn't an inconvenience, it can put patients'\nlives at risk, so resilient backup energy isn't optional, it's essential.\nWe're building intelligent energy infrastructure that we own and operate to\nhelp healthcare facilities meet that responsibility, while delivering benefits\nthat go well beyond backup power. We believe that combination creates a\nsignificant opportunity for NextNRG in healthcare, particularly as facilities\nface increasing pressure to strengthen their energy infrastructure.\"\n\nProject Highlights\n* Approximately 320 kW of rooftop and carport-mounted solar generation\n* 60 kW / 240 kWh battery energy storage system\n* NextNRG's proprietary Microgrid Controller for real-time monitoring and\noptimization\n* Six Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations\n* Roof improvements across four campus buildings\n* Expected to generate more than 500,000 kWh of electricity during its first\nyear of operation and approximately 11.8 million kWh over the initial 25-year\nterm\n* Installation by Go Solar Power LLC, a Florida-licensed contractor for solar,\nbattery storage and EV charging, and AGT Roofing\nThe EV charging infrastructure will be owned and operated by NextCharging,\nNextNRG's wholly owned EV charging subsidiary. NextCharging will serve as the\nexclusive charge point operator for the site, with net charging revenue shared\nequally between NextCharging and Taft Medical, creating an additional\nrecurring revenue opportunity while expanding the range of services available\nthrough the energy system.\n\nThe contract represents approximately $3.5 million in contracted customer\npayments to NextNRG over the initial 25-year term. Based on current estimates,\nTaft Medical is expected to realize more than $2 million in utility cost\nsavings over the same period while enhancing on-site energy resilience.\n\n\"Our priority has always been providing the best possible care for our\npatients, and that starts with the infrastructure supporting our facilities,\"\nsaid Dr. Moises Issa, Owner, Taft Medical Complex. \"Upgrading our energy\ninfrastructure is a direct investment in the long-term quality of our\nfacilities and the care we deliver. We're excited to work with NextNRG on a\nproject that brings energy resilience to a campus that our community depends\non.\"\n\nConstruction is expected to begin following final engineering, permitting,\nfinancing approval and utility approval.\n\nAbout NextNRG, Inc.\n\nNextNRG, Inc. (NextNRG) is Powering What’s Next by deploying its AI-driven\nSmart Controller, a proprietary AI technology that continuously optimizes how\nenergy is generated, stored, and consumed.
