Answering this question for energy-intensive infrastructure has historically been a slow, fragmented, and often incomplete process. Teams spend weeks evaluating a single opportunity, which adds time, increases cost, and forces decisions around “is this good enough?” rather than “is this the best option?”
We help identify the right locations for energy infrastructure, faster and with greater confidence than ever before
Launched out of Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy, Othersphere was built to solve one core challenge: optimize the deployment of energy-intensive infrastructure worldwide, to build high-performing assets that enable human prosperity.
