Built for the realities of energy.

The people building the world model for energy.

Our vision

Every energy system running at its physical optimum: safe, clean, affordable energy for all.

We are AI researchers, engineers and energy leaders working towards a shared goal: helping the world’s energy systems operate better. Together, we are building Applied Computing.

Our story

A shared question.
A company built to answer it.

How can AI help the energy systems we already rely on operate better?

That question brought Cal and Sam together. Their shared ambition shaped the team and the development of Orbital, built on a world model for energy: intelligence grounded in the physics of operating plants.

Our journey
