About this report
Enevate B.V., known commercially as Kitepower, is a Dutch deep-tech startup drawing on 15+ years of university research . Its flagship product is an airborne wind energy system (AWES) – a tethered kite (drone) that generates electricity by flying in high-altitude winds and reeling out power lines to a ground generator .
Originating as a spin-off from TU Delft’s Wubbo Ockels wind-energy group , Kitepower has steadily advanced its technology from laboratory prototypes to field demonstrations. In 2021 its 100 kW Falcon system was deployed in a Dutch military exercise in Aruba , marking Europe’s first off-continent test of this novel renewable generator.
