The Trainsmission Company provides utility‑scale electricity by transporting it on proprietary battery‑powered railcars through the existing freight railroad network. By delivering up to 2 GWh per train (with a 4 GWh version forthcoming), it enables data centers, AI infrastructure, mines, ports and other heavy‑industry loads to receive power within 24 months, bypassing traditional grid interconnection delays. The system integrates with modern infrastructure to offer daily, reliable energy shipments across the United States.

Problem
Energy‑intensive facilities such as data centers, AI clusters, mines, and ports often face long utility interconnection delays, limited grid capacity, and constrained site selection, which hinder timely access to the large amounts of electricity they require.
Solution
Trainsmission transports utility‑scale electricity using proprietary battery railcars that run on existing freight railroad networks. Each train can deliver up to 2 GWh of power per day, with a 4 GWh version in development, providing a mobile, high‑capacity energy source that bypasses traditional grid bottlenecks. The system integrates generation, storage, and transfer equipment on railcars, allowing power to be moved directly to load sites or grid interconnection points. Deployment timelines are as short as 24 months, enabling customers to secure gigawatt‑hour scale supply without waiting for new transmission infrastructure. By leveraging the nationwide freight rail network, Trainsmission offers a flexible, repeatable delivery model that can serve multiple heavy‑industry customers across the United States.
Target Audience
Primary customers are large‑scale electricity consumers such as data center operators, artificial‑intelligence compute facilities, mining companies, ports, and other heavy‑industry enterprises that require gigawatt‑hour level power on a rapid deployment schedule.
