History of NWP

Founded in 1995, NWP focused on building the most secure, legally compliant and diverse billing configuration platform available in all 50 states, serving apartment owners and managers of all types and sizes. NWP began their services by sitting down and strategizing with owners and managers regarding the best way to provide resident utility billing to help recover utility costs spent on behalf of residents and encourage conservation. As the first provider of utility cost recovery services to the multifamily industry, NWP provided innovative and compliant solutions for our customers that optimize operational performance and increase resident satisfaction.

Since 2008, utility costs have continued to rise at 10 times the rate of all other operating expenses in multifamily to become the third largest expense for owners and managers encompassing as much as 15 percent of a property’s total operating expense in any given year. With energy and water shortages on the rise, it is now more imperative than ever to find a way to recover and reduce these costs to keep net operating income positive while meeting the stringent and increasingly growing number of regulatory and legislative requirements at the federal, state and local levels.
