The steady, predictable delivery of the Sun's energy enables life on Earth, providing the overwhelming majority of energy that powers human civilization. Thanks to modern technology, this can be harvested directly as solar energy, or near-direct through the movement of wind or water. TREO is dedicated to developing and deploying an energy infrastructure that builds on this foundation to deliver reliable, resilient power for everyone.
The Sun ALWAYS shines on the Earth.
The 19th century discovered that stored within the earth's crust was solar energy from millions of years ago in the form of lignite, coal, oil and natural gas. The first part of the 20th Century built up an extensive industrial infrastructure to discover these scarce resources and bring them to consumers as an energy market. Research and innovation since the 1970s shows that harvesting of the solar energy that reaches the earth every day can replace the old depleting resources.
Harvesting solar energy directly from radiation or indirectly from wind brings the world in a new era, the era of an abundance of energy. This abundance of energy means that the organization of energy systems will undergo a fundamental transition, starting with the different source. The way energy is transported, stored and consumed will be affected. An innovative approach to electrical energy storage, a rethinking of communication and control, and reimagining the economics of the energy system will facilitate the rapid transition from scarcity and high costs to abundant and cheap energy.
A rapid energy transition is essential to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses required to address the climate crisis. It can be delivered with existing technology based on:

A sustainable electric power system requires an architecture that is efficient, reliable, resilient, and cost-optimized. This requires integrating operational planning, operation, monitoring, and updates at every level. We call this a Grid-of-Grids
