The Role of New Energies Group in Rural Development

Rural municipalities and electric utilities often face unique challenges in accessing clean, sustainable, and energy-efficient solutions. Limited technical resources, aging infrastructure, and small customer bases can make it difficult to implement renewable energy and efficiency projects effectively.

New Energies Group (NEG) bridges this gap by serving as a trusted advisor and partner in rural energy development. We provide professional, scientific, technical, and financial services in the fields of renewable energy and energy efficiency—helping communities transition toward a sustainable energy future.

With deep expertise and decades of combined experience, NEG has supported stakeholders across 16 U.S. states—including city and village administrations, the Department of Energy, electric cooperatives, local utilities, and public power districts—in developing comprehensive Energy Master Plans (EMPs). These plans serve as strategic roadmaps for systematically deploying renewable energy and efficiency initiatives tailored to each community’s unique needs.

Our multi-disciplinary engineering team brings over 50 years of collective experience in energy systems planning, design, and implementation. This breadth of knowledge enables us to take a holistic approach—considering not just technical feasibility, but also the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of every project.

To date, NEG has successfully developed more than 40 Energy Master Plans for rural municipalities across the United States. These projects have helped local governments and utilities lower energy costs, reduce emissions, and strengthen energy resilience—all while promoting long-term economic growth.

Beyond project development, NEG is committed to education and capacity building. Through workshops, training programs, and outreach initiatives, we empower local leaders and residents to adopt sustainable energy practices and make informed decisions about their communities’ energy futures.

In summary, New Energies Group is driving rural progress through innovation, collaboration, and expertise. By combining strategic planning, technical excellence, and community engagement, we ensure that rural America has equitable access to sustainable, reliable, and energy-efficient solutions.
