What is scalable infrastructure?

Lighthouse in Brittany

LOWER RISK + faster deployment

Traditional Infrastructure

Erected on site from components brought into site. 

Erected on site from components brought into site. 

Erected on site from components brought into site. 

Typically involves larger crews and heavy machinery to erect structures

Typical timeline: 1 - 5 years

Typical price tag: $100M - 10B

A lot of this is public infrastructure.

 

Example: Major power-station that can power 500,000 homes

SCALABLE Infrastructure

Manufactured in a factory and transported either whole or pre-assembled to site

Erected on site from components brought into site. 

Erected on site from components brought into site. 

Typically involved just a small crew and light machinery or a simple crane

Typical timeline: 1 – 5 weeks, but some could take up to 5 months 

Typical price tag: $250K - 25M

 

Most of this is private infrastructure.

 

Example: Off-grid power station for a large business park that powers warehouses &  5,000 employees

The scope of Climatic is to focus on scalable infrastructure.

Highlights include:

  • No long cash–drought period 

  • Rapid deployment thus quickly getting to positive cash–flow

  • Massively parallel deployments as 100’s of deployments can happen simultaneously in different location 

  • Little need for testing and adjustment after installation as system components are tested before deployment

  • Costs of deployment low as most tasks can be performed by readily available workers

  • Low risk of timeline not being met as deployment is done using standard component 

  • All deployments are hard assets and thus can be encumbered or used as collateral

Most importantly is how scalable infrastructure changes the risk profile

  • Very low operating risk, instead a of $1B funding engine is deployed to a single mega project the same money is deployed to 200 different projects. Even if 10% of the 200 go offline operating income just falls by 10%. However if there is just a single installation and that goes offline, operating income goes to zero.
