Axis Nova has recently completed a global network of orbital microwave power transmitters, all mounted on natural resource satellites moved into geosynchronous orbit.
These satellites allow us to generate and beam safe, clean power to any location on NS-Earth.
As such, we are selling the recievers, which consist of:
A) A microwave reciever array to absorb the energy from the beam
B) A Laser Circuit system, to ensure proper targeting
C) A large array of high-efficiency batteries
The batteries are neccesary due to the fact that we cannot possibly build one transmitter for every reciever, and therefore will charge the array to capacity at a certain time. Variable sized battery arrays are available, at a reasonable price.
The system works quite simply:
1) The reciever station sends a "Lock On" signal to the closest transmitter.
2) After recieving and authenticating the signal, the transmitter fires a laser beam through the atmosphere and to the lock-on device on the reciever station. The effect causes a laser beam to visibly descend from NS-Earth orbit to the reciever, and is quite spectacular (and easily visible).
3) Once the laser beam is targeted correctly, the reciever station sends a "Locked On" signal to the transmitter.
4) After recieving the signal, the transmitter beams down a microwave power beam until the batteries at the station are full.
5) The Laser Circuit is broken and the transmitter idles until it is needed again for another job.
6) The reciever station dispenses the power into the local grid as neccesary.
The battery system is designed to be modular, and each battery module is capable of a 1500 megawatt output for a period of one week before it needs recharging.
While the prices may seem somewhat steep, keep in mind that the reciever takes up a fraction of the space of a normal power plant and does not pollute at ALL. It is perfect for nations worried about space in their nations!
Costs
Reciever station: $430,000,000
Battery module (one is included free with each reciever station purchase): $75,000,000

(OOC: I have no idea how much an actual power plant costs, so if the numbers are too high let me know and I'll turn them down a bit.
