Power and cooling,
developed together.

A large energy customer can help establish the infrastructure for a wider economy.

Aero explores that opportunity through a combination of vertical-axis wind, solar, geothermal resources, and electrical and thermal storage. Data centers and critical industry are potential anchor customers.

The development task is to align the resource, the customer, and the place: reliable services for industry, with local participation and productive growth built into the project case.

Resource

Start with what the place can provide.

Demand

Design around useful, dependable services.

Development

Build a case for lasting local value.

One project.
Connected systems.

Generation, cooling, and resilience influence one another. The configuration develops around site evidence and customer requirements.

Integrated power: wind, solar, geothermal, storage, and demandWind, solar, and geothermal electricity feed a coordinated system with storage and controls. Protection and equipment details are omitted.Wind + solarStorage& controlsDemandGeothermal power

Geothermal electricity is an option where resource conditions support it; ambient ground exchange is evaluated separately.

Match the resources to the load.

The generation mix begins with local conditions and a customer's actual demand. Aero brings vertical-axis wind, solar, geothermal resource assessment, and storage into the same design process.

Generation
Evaluate wind and solar yield alongside the potential for geothermal electricity.
Coordination
Model hourly supply, storage, grid interaction, and the customer's load together.
Decision
Choose the mix on net output, reliability, maintenance, and delivered cost.
The resource distinction

Ambient ground exchange serves heating and cooling through heat pumps. Useful hot water can serve thermal loads. Geothermal electricity requires a separate assessment of temperature, flow, conversion losses, and net output.

Build the evidence.
Advance the project.

Aero is in early development. Current priorities are site screening, diligence, integrated feasibility, and customer formation.

Establish the resource case and identify what still needs to be measured.

  • Wind and solar yield, seasonal patterns, extreme weather, and access for maintenance.
  • Geothermal temperature, flow potential, fluid chemistry, subsurface conditions, and the next resource-confirmation step.
  • Land access, grid connections, fiber routes, water availability, and environmental constraints.

Intended outputA prioritized site case and a scoped resource-validation program.

The anchor customer
is the beginning.

The long-term ambition is to help resource-rich places develop new economic activity. Local benefits need to be designed, negotiated, and measured as part of the project.

01

Infrastructure that reaches further

Evaluate opportunities to serve local power and thermal demand alongside the anchor customer.

02

Skills and supplier participation

Identify construction, operations, maintenance, and supplier roles with experienced local partners.

03

Conditions for the next industry

Explore how dependable energy, cooling, and shared infrastructure could support other productive uses.

Bring expertise.
Help move it forward.

Development participation connects a defined scope of work to the evidence it will produce and the decision it will support.

Places & customers

A site. A need.
A long-term relationship.

Communities, landowners, utilities, data-center developers, and industrial customers can help define the opportunity.

Useful starting points: location, load requirements, infrastructure access, and local development priorities.

Technical & delivery partners

Experience that makes
the design stronger.

Resource specialists, engineers, technology providers, and experienced operators can help test the integrated case.

Useful starting points: field evidence, operating experience, serviceability, and a specific capability to contribute.

Investors & capital partners

Capital connected
to clear milestones.

Early participation can support resource validation, integrated feasibility, and customer formation.

The discussion begins with use of funds, work scope, project risks, and the next development or financing decision.
