Satellite power grid would beam energy around the globe just like data

Update 10/27/2022: Beaming Clean Energy From Space Once considered science fiction, technology capable of collecting solar power in space and beaming it to Earth to provide a global supply of clean and affordable energy is moving closer to reality. Through the Space-based Solar Power Project (SSPP), a team of Caltech researchers is working to deploy a constellation of modular spacecraft that collect sunlight, transform it into electricity, then wirelessly transmit that electricity wherever it is needed—including to places that currently have no access to reliable [???] power.

If you hear or see "clean energy" all alarm bells should go off! This sounds way too good to be true!

Certainly an interesting proposal, but how realistic and how safe is it? Can it scale to providing energy to millions of people over long distance 24 hours? And it depends on line of sight!

The article below seems to be more a marketing campaign for this company!

"... You'd get 24-hour renewable energy, anywhere, out of low-cost solar assets right here on Earth. ..
The current square transmitting and receiving antenna prototypes are 1.92 m (6.3 ft) in diameter. In the ESA demonstration, this gear sent some clean energy from one side of an Airbus warehouse to the other – a gap of just 36 m (118 ft) - to power a  beer fridge ....
But with the backing of NZ energy company Powerco it's already proven capable of doing the same over at least 200 m (656 ft) outdoors, and the company says it's ready for commercial deployment over much longer distances – basically, all that's needed is a direct, clear line of sight between the antennas or relays. ..."

Satellite power grid would beam energy around the globe just like data New Zealand company Emrod says it's got the technology to enable efficient wireless energy transfer from orbit. It's proposing a global wireless energy matrix, which would instantly beam renewable energy via satellite between any two points on Earth.
