SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Nerd Power, the Arizona-based energy infrastructure company with more than 10,000 completed projects and a decade of execution across commercial, industrial, and critical power systems, today announced its formal expansion into data center development. The company is developing a large-scale colocation facility alongside a portfolio of smaller, purpose-built data centers in the 3-to-15-megawatt range, where Nerd Power will own and operate the compute and lease capacity to customers.
The move extends the company's core business — delivering power infrastructure with certainty — into the fastest-growing category of infrastructure demand in the country.
A Natural Extension of the Power Business
Power availability has become the defining constraint of the data center industry. Utility interconnection queues have lengthened across every major U.S. market, and the developers succeeding today are the ones who treat energy as the first workstream, not the last. A data center is, at its core, a power delivery system — its value determined by the ability to receive, distribute, and manage electricity at scale.
That is the business Nerd Power has been in for a decade. The company's track record spans substations, microgrids, battery storage, utility interconnection, and mission-critical power systems — the exact disciplines on which data center projects succeed or fail. Expanding into data center development moves Nerd Power up the stack of infrastructure it already knows how to build.
Two Development Tracks
The company's data center strategy runs on two tracks. The first is a large-scale colocation facility, engineered to serve enterprise and hyperscale tenants with the same power-first discipline behind the company's critical infrastructure work. The second is a portfolio of smaller facilities where Nerd Power owns the compute itself and leases capacity — an owner-operator model that aligns the company's incentives with its tenants' for the full life of each facility.
Both tracks are in active development. Consistent with the company's longstanding practice, Nerd Power does not announce specific sites, capacities, or timelines until power, land, and utility coordination have been verified. The company believes discipline in what gets announced is inseparable from discipline in what gets delivered.
The Energy Business Continues
Nerd Power's expansion adds to the company's work rather than replacing it. Large commercial solar projects continue to move forward — including the 12-megawatt solar installation under development for Lucid Motors' electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Casa Grande, Arizona — and the company continues to honor its service, maintenance, and warranty commitments to existing customers.
The company also emphasized that data center development will follow the same community-first posture that has shaped its energy work: projects planned in genuine partnership with the communities that host them, with local jobs, a lasting tax base, and grid stewardship treated as design requirements rather than talking points.
