In plain terms
There is still no international radio allocation for beaming power from space, and the studies are not due until 2031.
The claim as recorded
No ITU allocation or protection criterion exists for space-to-Earth wireless power transmission, and Resolution 910 of WRC-23 directs studies for completion in time for WRC-31. Of the ITU wireless power transmission reports, SM.2505-0 encourages administrations to follow the ICNIRP and IEEE guidelines "or limits set by their own experts"; SM.2392-1 describes the solar power satellite as an application (s2.9) but sets no allocation or protection criterion for it.
Scope and limits
Establishes the position in SM.2505-0 (2022) and SM.2392-1 (2021). Both were superseded in 06/2026: SM.2505-1 is not held, and SM.2392-2 is held in full but this record has not been re-read against it; SM.2392-2 s2.9 covers space-based solar power via satellite, with a UK subsection (itu.int contents page, read 2026-10-01). WRC-27 outcomes are not covered.
What it assumes
No assumptions are recorded against this claim.
Where it comes from
, paraphrased: the study item on possible frequency bands for non-beam and beam WPT is still in square brackets, so its scope is provisional, and the studies are to finish in time for the 2031 conference. SRC-103 PDF p.35 (printed p.33), s4: "Administrations are encouraged to follow the guidelines set by the ICNIRP and IEEE expert groups, or limits set by their own experts." SRC-102 PDF p.28 (printed p.26), s2.9 "Solar power satellite": "The SPS is designed as a huge solar power satellite in geostationary orbit, 36,000 km above the".
