Financing is often a hurdle to developing new technologies or in this case deploying new Geothermal power plants worldwide. How can we accomplish both of these things in a pragmatic way so that Geothermal can scale globally? Good news, I sat down with Alexander Helling, CEO of Baseload Capital to discuss exactly that and how their business model aims to do just this in targeted markets so that Geothermal can make waves in the global energy economy.
One of the most unique and innovative companies in my opinion in the Geothermal space is Baseload Capital, initially started as a venture to help finance Geothermal projects, but ended up financing and developing projects around the world. Their process involves working collaboratively with subsidiaries to deploy geothermal power plants worldwide. Baseload then takes care of market research to strategically pick markets, and provides technology knowledge to aid in development. I sit down with Alexander Helling, CEO of Baseload Capital to talk about their projects and how their model is one I believe should be replicated and used to help scale Geothermal.
