TwingTec AG is a Swiss company founded in 2013 that specializes in the development and manufacturing of a mobile wind energy system known as the TT100. This innovative system is designed to generate clean energy in remote and challenging locations, such as off-grid mines, isolated communities, and resorts. TwingTec's technology features an energy harvesting kite that captures wind power at higher altitudes, allowing for the efficient production of electricity at a lower cost than fossil fuels. The kite operates in conjunction with a ground station that collects energy through tension reels, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional energy sources and significantly reducing diesel consumption and environmental impact.
