Startup Critical Energy raises $19M to build modular turbines for geothermal power, aiming gigawatt-scale plants by 2030s.

Critical Energy, a startup focused on geothermal energy, secured $19 million in seed funding to develop modular turbines tailored for geothermal power plants. This technology addresses a shortage of compatible turbines, enabling faster and cheaper factory-built solutions compared to traditional large turbines assembled on site. The company plans to complete its first 2.5 megawatt project by 2027 and aims to scale up to gigawatt-level production by the early 2030s, potentially outpacing nuclear fission and fusion startups. With geothermal energy's vast potential and growing demand, especially from data centers, Critical Energy's innovation could accelerate renewable energy adoption and attract oil and gas industry involvement due to their drilling expertise.
