We’re proud to announce a new milestone for Kitepower: for the first time, our airborne wind energy system is being tested as an alternative power source on a major Dutch construction site in partnership with Dura Vermeer

As part of the Dike Reinforcement Tiel-Waardenburg project, Dura Vermeer is exploring how our  technology can support their transition to emission-free, sustainable construction. The project already operates 40 heavy electric machines, such as cranes and trucks, running on green electricity, making it one of the Netherlands’ frontrunners in clean construction. The addition of Kitepower’s system, combined with battery storage from Greener Power Solutions will help provide renewable power on-site, reducing the need for diesel generators.

“Working with an innovator like Dura Vermeer gives us a fantastic opportunity to further develop our technology in real-world conditions,” says Kitepower Founder Johannes Peschel. “It’s an exciting step toward bringing airborne wind energy into the mainstream for construction and beyond.”

Dura Vermeer’s team is committed to ambitious climate targets, aiming to cut CO₂ emissions by 50% by 2030 and 90% by 2050. Their innovation manager, Evan van der Holst, sees great potential: “This is a chance to learn what this technology can mean for the construction sector. We’re gathering valuable data and experience to help advance this innovation.”

At Kitepower, we’re excited to contribute to Dura Vermeer’s mission and to demonstrate how airborne wind energy can play a role in building a greener future. Over the coming months, the system’s performance will be closely monitored and evaluated, and we look forward to sharing the results.
