Tesla to Buy Power From KKR-Backed Arizona Solar, Battery Plant
- Tesla Inc. signed a long-term agreement with developer ContourGlobal for a new solar and battery project in Arizona, marking the company's first partnership with the KKR-backed firm.
- Separately, Tesla expanded its renewable engagements by signing a power purchase agreement with Zelestra for the 140-MWac Lumen Farm solar project in Texas, the second deal between the two companies.
- Zelestra confirmed that Tesla is taking 'the entire output' of the project, with construction starting in 2027 and full operations anticipated by 2029.
- As US grids face unprecedented demand growth from data center expansion, Tesla uses strategic power agreements to reliably supply its diverse operations, from Gigafactory Texas to its expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure.
- Tesla's internal solar business has struggled since its 2016 acquisition of SolarCity, leading the manufacturer to pivot toward grid-scale battery solutions like Megapack instead of residential deployments.
