OUR STORY

In 2017, several of the Baseload team worked for a tech company that had developed a method for converting warm water into electricity. After visiting Iceland, where we discovered most of the wells contained the perfect water temperature for this technology, we saw the massive potential for a geothermal application. The country needed power, and we had a great local power partner, but a crucial piece of the puzzle was missing — capital. And that’s when it hit us — if we could find like-minded investors to fund geothermal projects worldwide, we could unleash the planet’s largest renewable energy source.

Not long after, we said goodbye to the previous company and founded Baseload Capital to raise funds for geothermal projects. Our first task was to find project and developers in markets with significant geothermal potential. But we quickly realized there were no candidates in our key markets, so the only option was establishing our own local power companies. The opportunities and potential for a scalable baseload power solution were too great to wait around — we had to fill the market gap ourselves.

That’s when the other half of our operations, Baseload Power, was established to develop and operate Baseload Capital-funded geothermal power plants. We now have power companies operating in four countries: Japan, Taiwan, the U.S., and Iceland.

With skilled local teams on the ground, several plants are up and running, with more in the pipeline. We are already starting to think in new ways, incorporate entire ecosystems around our plants, and forge new partnerships to broaden our expertise. We are on our way to disrupting the energy sector, working as hard as we can toward our vision of a planet in balance.

“As geothermal venture capital investors, we have to support entrepreneurs who do not hope or fear without reason, and who are filled with hope and conviction that progress is possible!
