Aristocrat Technologies on Wednesday announced it has transitioned its Southern Nevada operations to 100% renewable energy through participation in NV Energy’s GreenEnergy Rider program.
Aristocrat is one of four companies in the state participating in the program in 2026, and the only slot manufacturer and the sole Southern Nevada–based participant. Early enrollment has enabled the company to secure renewable energy at a time when rising demand, driven in part by rapid growth in artificial intelligence and data centers, is putting pressure on clean energy supply.
“Reaching 100% renewable energy for our Southern Nevada operations is an important milestone in Aristocrat’s sustainability journey,” Aristocrat Group General Manager of Sustainability Harry Ashton said in a statement. “By partnering with NV Energy through the GreenEnergy Rider program, we are able to accelerate our progress toward our carbon reduction goals while supporting the growth of renewable infrastructure in Nevada. This achievement reflects our commitment to operating responsibly globally and in the communities in which we operate and creating long-term value for our stakeholders.”
By enrolling in NV Energy’s GreenEnergy Rider program, Aristocrat has secured 4,954 megawatt-hours of renewable energy for its Summerlin North American headquarters and Las Vegas Integration Center in Henderson, contributing to the state’s 34% renewable energy requirement. The company supplements the remainder of its electricity needs with additional renewable resources and credits, ensuring that its Southern Nevada facilities operate entirely on renewable energy sources.
“Our goal is to provide clean energy programs to the community while also strengthening our Renewable Portfolio goals,” said NV Energy Program Development Director Jared Bilberry. “Ultimately, programs like the GreenEnergy Rider give companies like Aristocrat the ability to achieve 100% renewable energy, while we continue to invest in and grow Nevada’s clean energy future.”
Aristocrat’s participation involves paying a Renewable Resource Rate, which reflects NV Energy’s cost to procure and dedicate renewable generation while maintaining full bundled electric service. This structured approach allows Aristocrat to achieve its sustainability goals without needing to independently procure power or leave the utility service.
NV Energy plays a pivotal role by securing, managing, and delivering the renewable energy on Aristocrat’s behalf. All renewable energy credits associated with Aristocrat’s participation are tracked and retired by NV Energy, ensuring that the environmental benefits are verified and exclusively attributed to Aristocrat’s energy use.
This achievement complements Aristocrat’s renewable energy contracts covering its Sydney and Australian Integration Center locations in Australia, supporting the company’s long-term carbon reduction goals and strengthening its global sustainability strategy.
