Developing and commercialising Space-Based Solar Power
delivering abundant energy for Earth and beyond
The Global Challenge
Global electricity demand will double by 2050
Decarbonising our economies to tackle climate change is one of the most pressing problems facing humanity. We urgently need new affordable, continuous, and flexible energy generation technologies if we are to meet global demand whilst delivering Net Zero.
Space-Based Solar Power is an answer to one of the world’s biggest challenges.
Breakthrough in Space-Based Energy
Space Solar Demonstrates World’s First 360° Wireless Power Transmission
“This successful test is a really important milestone on the way to making space-based solar power a reality. Safe, wireless, 360 degree energy transmission is a game changer, and demonstrates the UK’s leading position in this new energy revolution, quite literally harnessing the power of space to benefit life on Earth.”
“The UK Space Agency has been supporting a number of initiatives to get our sector ready to address this market, including the development of in-orbit manufacturing and assembly, large structure deployment, debris mitigation, power beaming from space, and mission system studies.”
Dr Paul Bate, Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency
