Investing.com -- Nuvve Holding Corp (NASDAQ:NVVE) stock surged 38.9% in after-hours trading Thursday following the announcement of a new partnership to accelerate transportation electrification in New Mexico.
The company’s subsidiary, Nuvve New Mexico, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Socorro and Socorro Electric Cooperative to collaborate on grid modernization, fleet electrification, and energy cost reduction initiatives across the Socorro region.
The agreement establishes a framework for joint planning and implementation in six priority areas, including grid modernization and resilience, school bus electrification, municipal fleet electrification, smart rates and demand charge mitigation, charging infrastructure expansion, and renewable energy integration.
"This MOU creates a model for how municipal and cooperative utilities can collaborate to deliver resilient, affordable, and locally beneficial electrification projects," said Ted Smith, CEO of Nuvve New Mexico.
The partnership will establish a joint working group to coordinate projects, pursue state and federal funding opportunities, and ensure community priorities guide implementation. The collaboration aims to leverage advanced technologies such as vehicle-to-grid integration and Battery-as-a-Service models to build a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
Mayor Ravi Bhasker of Socorro noted that the collaboration "allows us to bring new technology and investment to Socorro in a way that lowers costs, improves reliability, and positions our community as a leader in New Mexico’s clean energy future."
