Lucid Motors is going solar — and Nerd in partnership with The Renu Group, are building their renewable energy future.
Nerd Power has signed a solar lease agreement with Lucid Motors to design, finance, construct, and maintain a 12-megawatt solar energy system at their Arizona production facility.
The project includes covered solar carports over the employee parking area, providing shade alongside clean energy generation.
Lucid pays nothing upfront and will save millions over the life of the system.
Project highlights:
☀️ 22.5 million kWh of clean energy generated annually
🌱 13,000 metric tons of CO₂ offset each year
💰 Millions in projected energy savings with zero upfront capital
⚡ Clean energy powering the production of clean vehicles
There's something meaningful about this partnership. The vehicles coming off Lucid's production line are built to move transportation away from fossil fuels — and now the facility building them will run on solar. It's the kind of full-circle sustainability story the industry needs more of.
This project also matters for Arizona. The state's grid is under growing pressure from rapid industrial and population growth. When a major manufacturer generates power on-site, it reduces their operating costs while freeing up grid capacity for the surrounding community — homes, schools, and local businesses.
Our thanks to the Lucid Motors team for their partnership and trust. We're proud of what we're building together, and there's more to come.
Huge thanks also to The Renu Group, who facilitated this partnership and will serve as Certified Installer and Project Manager on the build.
