Event Summary

Faruqi & Faruqi, a national securities law firm, is investigating NET Power Inc. for alleged violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuit claims that NET Power made false and misleading statements regarding the schedule and cost of its Project Permian. Initially, NET Power projected Project Permian to be operational by 2026, but later announced a 12-month delay, pushing the timeline to between the second half of 2027 and the first half of 2028. Subsequently, the company further delayed Project Permian's online date to no earlier than 2029 and significantly increased its estimated total installed cost from $1.1 billion to between $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion, citing supply chain issues and site-specific challenges. These announcements led to significant drops in NET Power's stock price. Additionally, NET Power announced the departure of its President, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, further impacting investor confidence. Investors who suffered losses exceeding $50,000 between June 9, 2023, and March 7, 2025, are encouraged to contact Faruqi & Faruqi to discuss their legal options, with a lead plaintiff deadline of June 17, 2025.
