NeutronX and NextNRG Forge AI-Powered Alliance for Federal Energy Grid

MIAMI, FL – February 25, 2026 – In a move poised to reshape the landscape of national security and energy infrastructure, technology integrator NeutronX Corporation has entered into an exclusive, binding two-year partnership with publicly traded energy firm NextNRG, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXXT). The agreement, announced today, positions the duo to aggressively pursue and execute large-scale federal energy and defense infrastructure projects, combining artificial intelligence with next-generation power systems.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, effective February 18, 2026, NeutronX will act as the prime contractor, leveraging its expertise in federal procurement and AI to secure government contracts. NextNRG will serve as the exclusive technology and execution partner, tasked with deploying its suite of advanced energy solutions. The collaboration sets its sights on modernizing the power infrastructure of military installations, critical government facilities, and other federal properties nationwide, a sector with burgeoning demand driven by national security imperatives.

A Strategic Alliance for National Security

The partnership arrives at a critical juncture for U.S. infrastructure. The Department of Defense and other federal agencies have increasingly prioritized energy resilience to counter threats ranging from cyberattacks and physical sabotage to extreme weather events that can cripple the civilian power grid. This strategic alliance is explicitly designed to address these vulnerabilities by creating self-sufficient, intelligent, and hardened energy systems for the nation's most vital assets.

NeutronX, led by a cadre of military veterans, former federal executives, and national security professionals, brings what it calls “deep federal access” to the table. The company’s core strategy involves navigating complex government acquisition environments to deploy mission-ready capabilities. This partnership formalizes that strategy, uniting what NeutronX COO Lorna Ceaser described as “military leaders and tech titans” to bring solutions to America's critical energy needs. “This partnership deploys advanced AI and energy technologies to support critical infrastructure, strengthening the foundation of U.S. national security,” Ceaser stated in the announcement.

The collaboration will focus on a wide array of high-priority areas, including intelligent grid systems, military base energy modernization, airport infrastructure resilience, and cybersecurity for critical operational platforms. By embedding advanced technology directly into the foundation of federal energy systems, the partnership aims to move beyond reactive maintenance to a proactive, predictive model of infrastructure management.

The Technology Powering the Grid

At the heart of the operational side of the partnership is NextNRG's diverse portfolio of modern energy technologies. The company specializes in AI-optimized microgrids, which act as localized, independent power systems that can disconnect from the main grid during an outage to keep critical facilities running. These systems integrate distributed power generation, primarily through solar installations, with advanced battery storage and intelligent control software.

NeutronX's AI platforms are intended to integrate directly with these systems, enabling predictive maintenance to foresee equipment failures, autonomous threat detection to identify and isolate cyber or physical risks, and self-optimization to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability of power distribution. The synergy promises an energy infrastructure that not only generates its own power but can also think for itself.

Beyond microgrids, NextNRG brings wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging, mobile fueling services, and its proprietary Next UOS® (Utility Operating System) to the collaboration. This unified energy dashboard is designed to manage a complex ecosystem of distributed assets. Michael D. Farkas, CEO of NextNRG, emphasized the move from planning to action. “This agreement moves our relationship with NeutronX from alignment to execution,” he said. “NextNRG's integrated energy platforms... are designed to support resilient infrastructure at scale. By combining these capabilities with NeutronX's federal access and AI expertise, we believe we are well positioned to pursue mission-critical government energy projects across the country.”

A High-Stakes Bet for NextNRG

For NextNRG, this exclusive partnership represents a significant and potentially transformative opportunity. The company’s recent financial performance has been challenging, with reports indicating deep net losses, negative profit margins, and a liquidity ratio that suggests limited financial flexibility. The firm's stock (NXXT) has been volatile, trading near a 52-week low before the announcement.

However, the market has responded with notable optimism to the NeutronX deal. In the trading session following the news, NextNRG’s stock surged nearly 11%, adding millions to its market capitalization. This reaction underscores the perceived value of gaining a dedicated pathway into the lucrative federal contracting space. Despite its financial struggles, the company has garnered a “Strong Buy” rating from at least one analyst, with a price target suggesting a massive potential upside, contingent on successful execution of its growth strategy.

This partnership could provide the catalyst NextNRG needs. By securing a steady stream of large-scale government projects, the company could stabilize its revenue, prove the scalability of its advanced technologies like wireless EV charging and AI-driven grid management, and ultimately reverse its financial trajectory. The deal effectively leverages NeutronX's procurement prowess to de-risk market entry for NextNRG’s innovative but capital-intensive solutions.

Navigating a Competitive Federal Landscape

The venture enters a highly competitive market dominated by large defense contractors and established energy service companies (ESCOs) with long-standing government relationships. To succeed, the NeutronX-NextNRG alliance must differentiate itself not just on technology but on its integrated approach.

The partnership's structure—with NeutronX as the prime contractor and federal liaison, and NextNRG as the dedicated technology engine—is designed to offer a streamlined, specialized solution that larger, more diversified competitors may struggle to match in agility. While both companies will maintain their own proprietary technologies, their combined offering presents a unified front focused squarely on intelligent and resilient energy systems.

By focusing on the convergence of AI, cybersecurity, and distributed energy, the partnership is targeting the most advanced requirements in federal solicitations. As the U.S. government continues to allocate significant budget resources toward modernizing its infrastructure against 21st-century threats, this specialized focus could provide a decisive competitive edge. The two-year agreement provides a clear window for the partners to demonstrate their combined capability and secure a foundational role in fortifying America’s most critical facilities.
