Kitekraft connects flying wind turbine demonstrator to public grid❗

We are excited to announces that we connected our first demonstrator to the public grid. This is the first of its kind, flying-generation, airborne wind energy system, that gets connected to the public grid globally! It is a key step on our path towards commercialization, as all generated electricity, even from our prototypes, will be sold to the municipal utility company Gemeindewerke Oberhaching. This is the first time, energy generated from an airborne wind energy system, will get paid for in Germany. […]

Congratulations to Kitekraft and @floba.

In the article/linkedin post they specify that it’s a first for a fly-generation system. The others have been ground generation.

Makani and our system wasn’t grid connected
