Smarter Wind Generation

“The Diffuse Energy wind turbine provided alternative power to key communication sites during a time when many sites were affected by mains power failure. Not only could we monitor energy production and consumption remotely and in real-time, but we were able to keep our sites and network services running for our government and the emergency services customers when they needed it most to support communities.”

“We invested in Diffuse Energy because they are operating in an unambiguously large and growing renewable energy market. Small wind is the natural complement to solar in that wind often blows when the sun isn’t shining. The founding team are very strong and committed to building a generationally great company. Finally, we saw the potential for software-like recurring revenue from their small wind turbines.”

“We are changing the way telecommunications companies buy renewable technology. Our commercial model removes upfront hardware costs in favour of a monthly subscription. Our subscription model enables the rapid deployment of turbines onto towers in hard to service locations, converting them from diesel power generation to cheaper and more environmentally friendly wind-power.”

“Diffuse Energy exemplify what can be achieved when know-how, drive and commitment combine. Their passion to make real-world impact with their innovative technology is what’s needed to help drive economic and social outcomes. The team are to be applauded for their impressive commercialisation progress achieved in a relatively short period of time.”

“Through research undertaken at the University of Newcastle, Diffuse Energy has designed and built leading-edge wind energy technology that will contribute to a sustainable future. These small-sized turbines can be used as part of small renewable energy power systems providing complementary power to solar/battery renewable systems in a cost-effective manner.”
