In America today, it can be faster to build a factory than to get enough electricity to run it.
Time to power has become a major bottleneck for factories, data centers, EV charging depots, and other infrastructure being built across the country.
After more than a decade at SpaceX—including serving as launch chief engineer for Demo-2 and Director of Flight Safety—Bala Ramamurthy turned his attention to the electricity grid.
His company, Critical Loop, combines batteries, software, controls, automation, and generation to help customers get power faster.
It’s indicative of a trend we often see on Supercool: building the low-carbon future is as much about breakthrough business model innovation as new hardware or software.
Critical Loop has already powered an 80,000-square-foot factory for nine months, operates a microgrid at San Diego Airport, and is helping customers unlock more power from the grid we already have—while enabling more renewable energy along the way.
