You move the clock by reading: scroll down and the day passes ↓

06:00 · Dawn

We begin when the sun rises. Daylight sets the length of our working day.

08:30 · Morning

A power plant puts land to work with what was already there: light, air and slope.

11:00 · Midmorning

We measure everything, all the time. Without measurement, all you have are promises. We came to do the work.

13:30 · Midday

The cleanest energy is the energy we don't waste. We store midday for the night.

16:00 · Afternoon

We talk to the people who live there before drawing a single line. Then we return and listen again.

18:30 · Sunset

When the sun sets, the grid stays on. That's what the night wind and valley reserve are for.

21:00 · Night

A working grid goes unnoticed. If nobody thinks about us over dinner, we've done our job.

23:30 · Midnight

Tomorrow it will rise again. And so will we.
