flag China tests 3MW airborne wind turbine, generating 385 kWh at 2,000m, using 90% less material than traditional towers.

flag China has successfully tested a large-scale airborne wind turbine system, the SAWES Type S2000, which generated 385 kilowatt-hours of electricity at 2,000 meters in Sichuan Province. flag The 3-megawatt prototype, featuring 12 turbines and advanced AI controls, connected to the grid in January 2025 and uses up to 90% less material than traditional wind towers. flag Developed by Tsinghua University and Beijing SAWES Energy, the system aims to provide off-grid power for remote areas and disaster relief, with plans to expand into national grids. flag The project has filed 51 patents and represents China’s push to lead in next-generation renewable energy technology.
