Our History

Our History

The Demand Side:

For nearly two decades as the founder and former Chairman & CEO of Blink Charging, Michael D. Farkas led the industry's buildout of EV charging infrastructure, and hit the same wall at every site: interconnection delays, insufficient utility capacity, no unified way for customers to manage their own energy. Fragmentation on the demand side.

The Supply Side:

As Director of the FPL - FIU Solar Research Facility and lead on multiple U.S. Department of Energy-funded grid modernization programs - among the largest in the country - Prof. Arif Sarwat watched utilities run critical infrastructure without an end-to-end management layer. No visibility. No orchestration. Fragmentation on the supply side.

Our Values

Our Values

The Vision:

Our vision extends far beyond the boundaries of today's challenges. We see a world where every aspect of energy infrastructure, from power grids to transportation networks, is seamlessly integrated and intelligently managed through a single AI powered platform. This vision encompasses not just efficiency, but also sustainability and resilience in the face of evolving global needs. At NextNRG, we're not just dreaming of the future; we're actively shaping it. Join us as we embark on this journey to empower tomorrow's infrastructure and pave the way for a brighter, more connected world.

The Mission:

Our mission is to give operators one intelligent place to see, understand, and act on their entire energy footprint. Today's infrastructure is too complex, too distributed, and too critical to manage with yesterday's tools, that is why we are determined to build a unified source of truth that consolidates microgrids, EV infrastructure, fueling, and fleet data into a single view. Powered by AI and ML that transform raw data into predictive insight and automated decisions, we are optimizing performance, anticipating disruption, and driving efficiency at every layer of the energy stack, because the future of energy can't be run on spreadsheets and siloed systems.
