Critical Energy is an energy based firm that generate electricity with the help of heat through modular and geothermal power plant. Its bet is less about drilling deeper than about building the bit above the ground faster. The startup treats a power plant as a product, not a construction project. Critical Energy’s units are container-sized turbines built mostly off-site, designed to be trucked in and switched on in weeks, then stacked together for larger sites. Critical Energy has a pilot in Los Angeles and its first commercial 2.5mn-watt project is due for completion in 2027.
