The Business Case for Space-Based Solar Power

Episode 15 of Space Business with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna explore the emerging economics of space-based solar power (SBSP). They break down why the concept — once dismissed as sci-fi — is attracting serious investment, from the UK's Space Energy Initiative to Japan's JAXA and private startups. They examine the key cost hurdle: launch prices must fall below $100 per kilogram for SBSP to compete with terrestrial renewables. With SpaceX's Starship promising $10 per kilogram, the math may finally work. Lucas and Luna also discuss the regulatory puzzle of wireless power transmission and who stands to profit first — utilities, satellite manufacturers, or launch providers. If you run a business or build technology, this episode offers a grounded look at an idea that could reshape global energy markets. #SpaceBasedSolarPower #SBSP #WirelessPowerTransmission #SpaceEnergy #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #SpaceX #Starship #JAXA #UKSpaceEnergyInitiative #LaunchEconomics #EnergyTransition #SpaceBusiness #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SpacePodcast #FutureOfEnergy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
