Wind Energy 2.0 introduces the Energy Drone, a mobile wind turbine that harnesses wind at 300m altitude using 5% of the material of traditional wind turbines. Their 2kW prototype demonstrates the technology. Their markets are remote communities, islands, and future on/off-shore wind farms. Competition includes kite and drone designs. TwingTec seeks $5M Series A funding to develop their TT100 off-grid drone and pilot project. Their roadmap aims to reach <5 cents/kWh for on/off-shore wind by 2025.
