Njord Energy, a Wrocław-based startup, is testing the first mobile renewable energy system in Oman

02.07.2025

Wrocław-based company Njord Energy – a 2025 winner of the "30 Creative Wrocławians" award – has developed an innovative solution using autonomous kites to efficiently harness wind energy. The first commercial series is scheduled for production in 2026. In the coming months, however, the first demonstration system will be delivered to the Musandam region in Oman. Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) is a pioneering solution developed by engineers from Wrocław.

Njord Energy: electricity from kites in 48 hours

This innovative system generates electricity using autonomous kites that harness strong and stable winds at altitudes of 200 to 500 meters.

It features outstanding energy efficiency of up to 70%—almost 50% higher than that of typical small residential wind turbines.
On an annual basis, the Njord 50 kW AWES system generates around 360,600 kWh, enough to power 100 to 120 standard homes.
The power-generating kites operate at distances of 10 to 1,000 meters from the launch platform, and the entire system can be deployed in just 48 hours—crucially, without the need for large-scale investments.

Njord Energy to test the system in Oman

Njord Energy’s model envisions delivering mobile wind systems as a “plug-and-play” solution for regions with limited access to energy, where demand is high and the construction of traditional turbines is either uneconomical or impossible.
Sebastian Szymański of Njord Energy highlights that Musandam, located in northern Oman, is exactly such a place. The region has a strong demand for green energy, which is essential for building independent energy infrastructure, yet the terrain makes it difficult to install conventional wind turbines.
However, it offers excellent wind conditions—with winds exceeding 50 km/h on more than 200 days a year. These factors made Oman the first place in the world where Njord Energy will test its pioneering system.

The agreement with Musandam Global Investment is a breakthrough on many levels, with benefits for all parties. For us, it’s above all a chance to test our demonstration system, export Polish technology that will help shape a completely new market, and a key that opens doors to collaboration with new partners,”
- Sebastian Szymański of Njord Energy.

“And there are already many such partners,” adds Szymański. “We are currently in talks about pilot programs in Rwanda, Kenya, and India. Our technology has also drawn interest from government representatives in the USA, Colombia, Middle Eastern countries, and in Africa and Southeast Asia. Oman, in turn, will gain a technology that enables economic diversification and a move away from fossil fuels, in line with the national Oman Vision 2040 strategy,” he emphasizes. As part of the agreement with Musandam Global Investment, Njord Energy will deliver a complete pilot system demonstrating the company’s technological capabilities. The Omani side will provide wind data and legal regulations to tailor the solution to local conditions. A joint working group will also be created to determine system location, prepare business documentation, and secure financing.

Njord Energy from Wrocław. What do they do?

Njord Energy is a Polish startup founded in November 2023 in Wrocław, developing innovative renewable energy solutions based on kite technology (Airborne Wind Energy). In 2024, Njord Energy completed its prototype named Drakkar, whose efficiency and effectiveness were confirmed through testing. The company has now begun expanding into international markets.

Njord Energy is a laureate of the “30 Creative Wrocławians 2025” competition organized by the portal www.wroclaw.pl.
