TwingTec AG, founded in 2013 and based in Dübendorf, Switzerland, specializes in developing and manufacturing a mobile wind energy system known as the TT100. This innovative system is designed to generate wind energy in remote and hard-to-reach locations, such as off-grid mines, resorts, and isolated communities. TwingTec's technology utilizes a specially designed energy-harvesting kite that captures wind power at higher altitudes, optimizing energy production while minimizing costs compared to fossil fuels. The kite operates in conjunction with a ground station, which reels in the collected wind energy. Through its efforts, TwingTec aims to unlock the global potential of wind energy, contributing to a more sustainable future by reducing reliance on diesel and lessening environmental impact.
