A milestone moment for VAWT-X Energy

We’re honoured to be featured in Create Digital for leading what’s being called a “silent revolution” in wind technology.

From concept to trial, this journey has been about vision, persistence, and collaboration. To see our story recognised on a national stage is a huge boost — not just for our team, but for everyone who believes in smarter, cleaner, more sustainable energy.

A special thank you to Flinders University’s AWET research group and all our partners who’ve backed us along the way.

Here’s to the next chapter. The wind is changing — and we’re just getting started. 🌬️⚡

Wind power's silent revolution South Australian engineers have successfully re-engineered and tested a vertical-axis wind turbine.

VAWT-X Energy on the SIM-PAC Podcast

Our Managing Director, Gary Andrews, recently joined the SIM-PAC Podcast to share the journey of developing our vertical-axis wind turbine technology — from prototype to potential market applications.

In this episode, Gary covers:

Our collaboration with Flinders University
Why vertical-axis turbines can capture wind from any direction
How they can be placed closer together in wind farms
Their quieter, wildlife-friendly design with fewer moving parts
Target markets including construction, mining, and remote communities

We’re thrilled to share that VAWT‑X Energy’s next‑generation 6 kW vertical‑axis wind turbine prototype was just featured on ABC Australia News!

The three‑month trial south of has successfully helped power a real‑world construction site — proving its potential as a quieter, more adaptable solution for decentralised energy. With interest already rolling in from wineries, farmers, small businesses, and manufacturers, we’re on track to start manufacturing a commercial version by early next year, right here in South Australia. The future of sustainable, off‑grid energy is taking shape!

Key Highlights (all from ABC News, August 9 & 10, 2025)

The 6 kW vertical‑axis prototype ​helped power crews working on Main South Road in Adelaide’s south during a three‑month trial.

VAWT‑X and Flinders University have garnered interest from wineries, small manufacturers, businesses, and farmers.

VAWT‑X ​wants to commence local manufacturing in early 2026, aiming to keep costs around AUD 36,000 (plus installation).
