About
Founded in 2016, EnerKite is a private headquartered in Eberswalde, Germany with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Wind.
EnerKite is a German renewable energy technology company specializing in airborne wind energy (Flugwindkraft). The company has developed a novel system that replaces traditional wind turbine towers with high-strength cables and rotors with lightweight kites. Operating at 200-300 meters altitude, EnerKite systems generate electricity more consistently and efficiently than conventional wind or solar installations. The EK100 series produces 100 kW with plans for EK500 (500 kW) models. The company has completed successful prototype tests, secured its first commercial sale, and maintains 10 pilot projects in preparation. EnerKite targets industrial and mid-market customers in the DACH region seeking decentralized, reliable energy supply. The technology requires minimal land area, creates no visual or noise impacts, and has received governmental support through inclusion in Germany's renewable energy framework (2024) and the coalition agreement.
