About NewBuffalo Energy Partners
Who We Are
NewBuffalo Energy Partners LLC is a Kansas City-based energy consulting and brokerage firm specializing in complex power transactions for large-load operators. We focus exclusively on deals where power cost, site structure, and utility relationships are the central variables — typically crypto mining, data center, and industrial load clients requiring 10MW to 300MW or more.
We are not a generalist energy broker. We don’t list sites on a marketplace and wait for inquiries. We work a focused pipeline of high-complexity transactions where our knowledge of utility tariff structures, PPA mechanics, and BTM development creates real value that commodity brokers can’t replicate.
Joel Koenig
Managing Partner
Joel has spent his career at the intersection of energy infrastructure, real estate, and capital markets. He founded NewBuffalo Energy Partners to bring institutional-grade transaction structuring to a market — crypto mining and data center power — that has historically been underserved by qualified advisors.
His work spans utility tariff negotiation, PPA structuring, behind-the-meter development, and the identification and brokerage of grid-connected industrial sites. He has worked with utilities, independent power producers, crypto mining companies, and site developers across multiple U.S. regions and utility territories.
NewBuffalo operates from Kansas City, Kansas, with an active deal presence in the Midwest, Southwest, Southeast, and Plains regions.
Our Approach
We take a small number of engagements at a time. That’s intentional. Complex power deals require deep diligence, active relationship management with utility counterparties, and the kind of attention that can’t be spread thin across a hundred listings.
When we take on a client, we’re fully engaged — from initial site evaluation through definitive agreement execution.
