About NET Power Inc.
NET Power Inc. (NYSE: NPWR) is a clean energy technology company founded in 2010 and based in Durham, North Carolina. The company focuses on developing and commercializing its proprietary NET Power Cycle, a process designed to generate electricity from natural gas while capturing nearly all emissions. This technology aims to provide reliable, affordable, and lower-emission power generation.
NET Power operates a demonstration facility in La Porte, Texas, where it conducts research and equipment validation. The company’s flagship project, known as Project Permian, is intended to be its first utility-scale plant, located in the Permian Basin of West Texas. NET Power counts major industry players such as Constellation, Occidental Low Carbon Ventures, 8 Rivers Capital, and Baker Hughes among its strategic investors.
As of 2025, NET Power reported having approximately 70 employees on LinkedIn and held a strong cash position, with $533 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments at the end of 2024.
The Allegations
The class action lawsuit alleges that NET Power Inc. and certain executives made materially false and misleading statements, or failed to disclose critical information, regarding the development of Project Permian.
Key Points:
- NET Power was unlikely to complete Project Permian on schedule and within the cost estimates provided to investors, due to ongoing supply chain issues and numerous site- and region-specific challenges.
- The company’s public projections about the time and capital required for Project Permian were unrealistic.
- These challenges and increased costs were likely to have a significant negative impact on NET Power’s business and financial results.
- As a result, public statements made by NET Power throughout the class period were materially false and misleading.
The class period covers June 09, 2023 to March 07, 2025. During this time, NET Power’s stock price experienced a significant decline, including a 31.46% drop on March 10, 2025, after the company disclosed that Project Permian’s estimated cost had ballooned to between $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion (up from previous estimates of $950 million to $1.1 billion), and that the project would not come online before 2029, which is years later than previously promised.
Further, the company announced executive departures in April 2025, which contributed to additional declines in share price. The lawsuit claims that investors suffered substantial losses as a result of these alleged misrepresentations and omissions.
