Company Overview
Kitepower (Enevate B.V.)
Delft, Netherlands
2016
Approximately 40 employees (source: rocketreach.co). No confirmed revenue data for 2023+, but a projection of over €800,000 for 2025 (source: fundernation.eu).
What They Do
Kitepower is an innovative Dutch startup focused on airborne wind energy systems. The company utilizes large, controllable kites tethered to ground-based generators. These kites fly in a figure-eight pattern at altitudes of up to 350 meters to harness stronger winds at higher elevations (source: thekitepower.com). Their flagship product is the containerized 100 kW Falcon system, developed from a 20 kW prototype. This system is designed for rapid deployment and can be rented, making it appealing for temporary energy needs in construction and other sectors (source: thekitepower.com). Target markets include construction, remote locations, and military applications, employing a model for energy as a service (source: thekitepower.com).
Projects & Track Record
Kitepower has completed several notable projects, including the deployment of the 100 kW Falcon system during a military exercise in 2021 in Aruba, marking the first test outside of Europe (source: defencefinancemonitor.substack.com). Currently, the company is involved in a long-term campaign at the AWE test site of RWE Renewables in Bangor Erris, Mayo, Ireland, where they are working on developing autonomous flight capabilities (source: awetrain.eu). Additionally, six commercial agreements have been signed for the rental of their systems, with another fourteen in the pipeline, highlighting the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions (source: tudelft.nl).
Recent Developments
In the past two years, Kitepower has announced a rental strategy aimed at early European customers, with expected revenue of over €800,000 in 2025 from a fleet of 20 units (source: thekitepower.com). They have also launched operations in Ireland in collaboration with RWE, expanding their geographical presence (source: fundernation.eu). Furthermore, while no mergers or acquisitions have been reported, the company has recently attracted impact investments building on previous funding from Horizon 2020 and YES!Delft (source: cbinsights.com).
Careers at Kitepower
Kitepower offers a range of positions at their headquarters in Delft, including roles in Software, Hardware, Operations, and Sales, as well as Research and legal positions (source: fundernation.eu). The company culture focuses on agile development with quarterly goals and bi-weekly cycles, contributing to a dynamic work environment (source: yesdelft.com).
