Kitepower is a leading start-up in airborne wind energy. We develop innovative cost-effective alternatives to existing wind turbines. Our patented technology is a game changer in the wind energy sector: it uses 90% less material while being twice as efficient as existing technology.

Unlike conventional wind turbines, the Kitepower system does not require resource intensive towers or heavy foundations and is thus remarkably mobile and easy to deploy. Kitepower systems use high-performance kites for cost-competitive electricity generation. Being able to harness stronger and more persistent winds at higher altitudes allows for capacity factors greater than 0.5 and in return cost-effective electricity generation. Our launching product, the e100, is especially suited for replacing diesel generator sets in remote locations in order to save costs and mitigate the dependency of diesel supply.
