Lucid Energy was formed in 2007 with the mission of creating a new way for industries - particularly those that use large amounts of water and electricity - to turn the untapped energy of moving water into cost-saving, renewable energy. In 2008, Lucid Energy formed a strategic relationship with Northwest Pipe Company (NWPX), the largest manufacturer of steel water transmission pipe in the United States. The two companies collaborated on the development of the lift-based turbine design that is the foundation for the LucidPipe in-pipe hydropower system.
