More about this role
American Terawatt is building a new industrial electric grid for the United States. Building it requires securing power on one end and customers on the other, and structuring novel transmission supply agreements between generation and load.
We design and deploy advanced power transmission systems, serving large industrial loads, hundreds of megawatts at a time. Our systems deliver electric power to everything from frontier AI datacenters to highly automated manufacturing, refineries, mines, and more.
We make interconnection fast, simple, and cheap. On our network, generation owners get their projects online faster, delivering abundant power at competitive prices.
The backbone of American Terawatt’s network is high power HVDC transmission, anchored by our unique terminal design. American Terawatt’s HVDC terminals are standardized, modular, and natively integrate energy storage. Each one is designed to expand to operate as a full node on our future HVDC transmission network.
We raised significant venture equity from leading firms, such as Altimeter, Founders Fund, Bessemer Ventures, and Zero Infinity Partners.
