Powering the New American Industrial Base.
ATLAS is a coalition uniting technologists, industrialists, and policymakers to deploy energy infrastructure faster than ever before with advanced technologies and customer-led development.
Energy projects waiting for grid connections nationwide
New high voltage transmission built in the US in 2023
Average timeline for traditional transmission projects
Annual cost to consumers from grid congestion in 2022, up 64% YoY
For new builds, US utilities are still defaulting to technology patented over a century ago
America's Prosperity and Security Depends on How We Move Electrons.
We need more grid infrastructure.
The current economic paradigm is driving an unprecedented surge in demand for energy, but it still takes up to a decade to build new transmission lines and supply chains are constraining possibilities. ATLAS is working to create accelerated pathways for new infrastructure investment to ensure that energy customers and citizens are able to get electrons where and when they need them most.
We need better grid infrastructure.
The risk of blackouts and brownouts due to insufficient infrastructure, natural disasters, and adversarial attacks is increasing. ATLAS is working to deploy transmission and other energy infrastructure that combines advanced physical technologies with digital intelligence to create a more robust and resilient grid.
Foundations for an Open Approach to Upgrading Grid Infrastructure.
Speed
Privately funded, parallel energy infrastructure development delivers advanced energy infrastructure in months, not years.
Innovation
Markets deliver technology innovation and cost-savings benefits by unleashing private capital and realigning incentives.
Abundance
Today, we are falling victim to artificial perception of grid scarcity. Lowering the barrier to building transmission infrastructure creates more reliable energy for everyone.
Transparency
Corporations are taking advantage of secrecy and regulatory capture. Open access to information creates new opportunities for solutions that benefit everyone.
Security
An enhanced and upgraded grid creates resiliency and protects American industry from natural disasters, adversarial attacks, and other hostile actors.
Proving the Future is Possible Today.
A Hyperlayer is a privately funded, next-generation parallel grid - physical proof that America can still build massive infrastructure faster, cheaper, and smarter.
Permissionless
We don't wait in decade-long interconnection study queues. We are building independent, high-tech energy zones from scratch.
Forcing the Tech Leap
By building a parallel path, we prove what's possible, and create pressure for legacy systems to finally adapt.
Zero Ratepayer Risk
100% privately funded. Private capital takes on all the financial and execution risk. Everyday families pay nothing.
Deploying Talent to the Front Lines of the Grid.
The Grid Acceleration Corps deploys recent graduates, engineers, and scientists directly into the field with a two-pronged mandate.
Embed & Audit
Deploy technical teams into utility territories with the highest costs and slowest timelines to uncover bottlenecks, enforce data transparency, deploy AI tools, and clear stagnant interconnection queues.
Enable Energy Sovereignty
Send engineers directly to local municipalities to evaluate alternatives to legacy systems and provide the technical blueprints communities need to build their own independent infrastructure.
Heartland Innovation.
Homeland Industrialization.
They call Ohio "America's Industrial Capital" for a reason. We're home to the nation's largest steel foundry. We lead the country in glass, rubber, and plastic production. We're the fourth largest data center hub. We manufacture aircraft, automobiles, life-saving drugs, solar cells, fuel cells, tanks, missiles, robots, and chemicals. We know how to build.
A Blueprint for America’s Grid
Ohio was the first in the US to let consumers choose their electricity supplier and this model was quickly adopted across the country. The recent passing of House Bill 15 enables Ohio to leverage our heritage as innovators in energy markets and manufacturing to create a blueprint for building new energy infrastructure in the US faster and more efficiently than ever before.
