Agile Wind Power

What Agile Wind Power does

Agile Wind Power AG is a Swiss developer and manufacturer of megawatt-class vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) marketed under the Vertical Sky® brand. Its flagship product, the Vertical Sky® A40, is a 1 MW turbine with a 40m rotor diameter and 133m total height that incorporates patented active real-time pitch control of individual rotor blades, a feature the company describes as a world first for VAWTs. The technology targets 40-46% efficiency, roughly 38 dB(A) noise emissions at 25 meters, and a 25-year operational lifespan with 85-95% recyclable materials, allowing siting closer to industrial loads than conventional horizontal-axis turbines.

The company serves industrial and infrastructure operators with high, predictable electricity demand — including manufacturing, logistics and cold storage, wastewater treatment, data centers, and emerging green hydrogen applications. It monetizes through two models: direct turbine sales and a Power-as-a-Service offering in which the customer provides only the site while Agile Wind Power finances, constructs and operates the turbine. Pricing is project-specific, with reported delivered electricity at approximately €0.12/kWh versus grid electricity at ~€0.27/kWh and a typical payback period of ~7 years.

The company is pre-revenue: commercial production is planned for 2026 and first customer turbine deliveries to a global industrial group are slated for end of 2026. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a channel partnership through OMEXOM (VINCI Energies) targeting wastewater treatment plants in Germany. Operations span headquarters in Dübendorf, manufacturing in Lemwerder, Germany, and a test facility in Brütten, Switzerland. The A6 demonstrator has been IEC 61400-certified and EPFL research validating the AI-driven pitch control has been published in Nature.

Revenue model

1. Turbine Sales (Direct Purchase): Customers purchase Vertical Sky® turbines directly and generate their own electricity. Enables investment in own infrastructure - local, independent, and combinable with solar or other sources. Provides long-term stable electricity costs lower than grid electricity.
2. Power-as-a-Service: Customers provide only the site location while Agile Wind Power handles planning, construction and operation of the wind turbine. Customers access renewable energy without capital investment, paying for electricity generated at rates typically 40% below grid prices.

Core offering

Agile Wind Power manufactures and sells the Vertical Sky® vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) system for decentralized on-site electricity generation at industrial and commercial sites. The flagship Vertical Sky® A40 is a 1 MW megawatt-class turbine (~40m rotor diameter, 133m total height, ~2.4 GWh annual production) featuring patented active real-time pitch control of individual rotor blades. The company also offers Power-as-a-Service, handling planning, construction, and operation while customers pay for generated electricity at rates typically 40% below grid prices.

Product overview

Agile Wind Power offers the Vertical Sky® vertical axis wind turbine system as its core product. The company provides two commercial turbine models: the Vertical Sky® A40 (1 MW rated power, 40m rotor diameter, 133m total height) for full-scale commercial deployment, and the Vertical Sky® A6 (test/demonstrator model with 6m rotor diameter, 23m height) used for validating the technology before commercial rollout. The product portfolio includes a Power-as-a-Service business model where companies provide the site and Agile Wind Power handles planning, construction, and operation, as well as direct purchase options for customers who want to own and operate their own turbines. The technology targets decentralized on-site power generation for industrial and commercial facilities, with strategic partnerships including OMEXOM (Vinci Energies) for project development in Germany.
