Über uns

We envision a world where renewable electricity is affordable for everyone. At Kitepower, we develop the future generation of wind energy systems. The technology of airborne wind energy has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of wind energy and bring it to so far inaccessible areas. At the same time our systems are friendly to the environment with a only minimal visual and noise impact.

Kitepower is a leading start-up in airborne wind energy and was founded by Johannes Peschel and Roland Schmehl in January 2016 as a spin-off from the TU Delft's pioneering airborne wind energy research group of the former astronaut Wubbo Ockels. Already in 2007, the first 20kW Kitepower system demonstrated the proof of concept. Now, Kitepower is developing a commercial 100kW Kitepower system which will be one of the first airborne wind energy systems on the market. The growing team of Kitepower is complemented by TU Delft researchers and strong industry partners.
