With Vertical Sky®, Agile Wind Power is introducing a 1-megawatt wind turbine that generates large amounts of electricity directly on-site – with significantly less impact on the surrounding environment.

Companies have only limited options for meeting their electricity needs in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. Medium-sized industrial sites with annual consumption of 3 to 15 GWh are facing rising energy demands, while solar power can typically cover only 2 to 10% of their needs. The majority must still be procured from external sources.

While wind energy is cost-effective, it is severely restricted in industrial settings by setback regulations. For many companies, purchasing power from the grid therefore remains the only option – with correspondingly little control over costs and supply.

With Vertical Sky®, a megawatt-class wind turbine designed for decentralized electricity production at the point of consumption is now available for the first time. Thanks to low noise emissions, it can be installed close to industrial sites, which simplifies approval processes and reduces costs.

In operation, it reliably delivers predictable electricity at long-term stable and generally lower costs than grid procurement – thereby creating a new foundation for cost-effective self-supply.
