Grounded in possibility

Transmitting electricity through the Earth for a safer, smarter, and more resilient energy infrastructure.

What We Do

Critical Need

Mineral demand for energy tech is set to grow 500% by 2050, challenging electrification and security. Wireless power could reduce reliance on scarce resources.

Technology Vision

Current wireless power technology is limited by range and line-of-sight requirements. Terra Watts is revolutionizing the industry by using the Earth to transmit power over kilometers, while enabling simultaneous underground data communication.

Potential For Impact

Terra Watts powers underground sensors for smarter subsurface imaging today, with a long-term goal of wirelessly delivering energy to buildings and devices—extending the grid and solving last-mile challenges.

Technology

An underground power network that eliminates the need for poles, cables, and vulnerable surface networks. We’re working to deliver power wherever it’s needed through a system built to be resilient, and built to scale.
