The Problem

Industrial and commercial energy users worldwide are trapped by two failures:

Grid Connection Waits

7-15 year delays for new connections prevent growth and delay decarbonization

Carbon Reduction Targets

Ambitious mandates with limited viable 24/7 zero-carbon baseload options

Cost Uncertainty

Market volatility and price spikes make long-term budgeting impossible

The Hidden Costs of "Green" Intermittency

Wind and solar power satisfy regulatory carbon requirements on paper, but their intermittent nature creates substantial operational and financial burdens:

Grid Instability

VRE causes frequency fluctuations and reduced inertia, increasing blackout risk

Imbalance Penalties

Forecast deviations trigger costly grid operator fees undermining budget certainty

Extreme Price Volatility

Wholesale markets swing from negative to exponential pricing during calm periods

Backup Capacity Costs

Pay twice: once for renewables, again for backup systems to ensure reliability

Capacity Factor Limits

Wind and solar achieve only 25-40% capacity factors requiring oversized installations

Grid Service Fees

Ancillary service charges and grid balancing costs add hidden expenses

Why Battery Storage Isn't the Answer

Many organizations look to grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a solution. While batteries provide valuable short-term buffering, they cannot replace true baseload generation:

  • Limited Duration: Batteries store energy for hours, not days or weeks. They cannot address multi-day weather patterns or seasonal variations in renewable output.
  • Degradation & Replacement: Battery capacity degrades with each charge-discharge cycle. After 7-10 years, expensive replacement is required, creating recurring capital expenditure.
  • Parasitic Losses: Batteries don't generate power—they only store it. Round-trip efficiency losses mean you need to overbuild renewable capacity by 15-25% to compensate.
  • High Capital Cost: Grid-scale battery systems require substantial upfront investment. When combined with renewable generation, total system costs often exceed traditional baseload alternatives.

The Reality: Batteries are valuable for grid services and short-term load balancing, but they're a complement to baseload generation, not a replacement for it.

Traditional Nuclear: The Timeline Problem

Large-scale nuclear facilities like European Pressurized Reactors (EPRs) provide genuine 24/7 baseload power, but their deployment reality makes them unsuitable for most organizations:

Large Nuclear (EPR)

10-15+ years
  • 200-400% cost overruns common
  • Regulatory approvals uncertain
  • Construction delays endemic
  • Multi-billion dollar capital requirement

IOMega Modular Deployment

3 months per unit
  • Fixed-price PPA established upfront
  • Proven regulatory pathway
  • Factory manufacturing eliminates construction delays
  • Zero capital expenditure for customer

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from renewable energy plus battery storage?

Battery systems only store energy for hours, not days or weeks. They cannot replace baseload generation for 24/7 industrial operations. Our solution generates continuous power without weather dependency, eliminating the need for backup capacity or seasonal storage solutions.

What evidence supports the 7-15 year grid connection timeline?

Grid connection delays are documented across developed markets. In the UK, the National Grid ESO reported connection queue times exceeding 10 years for large users as of 2023. Similar delays affect Germany, Ireland, and other European markets where grid infrastructure struggles to accommodate new demand.

How can deployment really be just 3 months?

Traditional construction requires on-site labor, weather-dependent progress, and sequential build phases. Our manufacturing approach produces standardized modules in controlled factory environments, then ships complete units ready for rapid installation and commissioning.

What makes this "zero-carbon" if it's baseload power?

Our proprietary technology generates continuous power without fossil fuel combustion or emissions. All output is certified zero-carbon through independent verification, meeting the most stringent EU carbon accounting standards including Scope 2 reporting requirements.
