Systems, Critical Power Systems, C&I Facility Power
Systems, Microgrids, Storage and Modular Generation
History of NexGear
• NexGear started in 2002 as
PowerSecure’s DG Business realized it
needed to capture value by having an
internal switchgear/control source
versus external suppliers
• Small switchgear/controls integrator
was bought and was named NexGear
• Very experienced staff was added
2002‐2005 to support growth
History of NexGear
• NexGear grew as PowerSecure’s DG
and Utility Infrastructure businesses
grew
• In mid‐2009, a decision was made that
NexGear would increase its percentage
of non‐PowerSecure originated
business
