ACT blade
The ACT blade technology is the lightest, most controllable, only modular and most sustainable wind turbine blade.
It is made of an internal composite structure and fully covered by a highly engineered tensioned textile. It exploits the same aeroelastic science and innovative design to create the world’s fastest yacht on the planet.
ACT Blade is designed for a sustainable end-of-life approach and provides an opportunity to expand wind energy in remote areas and developing countries and create local contents, jobs, and skills.
A leap forward in blade technology, by 2030 installed ACT Blades will contribute to displacing 274ktons CO2 emission (0.08% of EU target) from conventional power generation and increasing wind energy by 937GWh (0.02% of EU target).

About Us
ACT blade develops and commercialises the ACT Blade technology, created by its founders and protected by international granted patents.
Its subsidiary ACT Blade Europe was founded to develop the firm’s core operations, some R&D activities, and manufacturing capacity in continental Europe.
Founders have over 20yrs experience in developing and commercialising innovative solution first in the marine industry and not in the wind energy industry. The R&D Team are specialists in blade design, composite and production.
Since the outset, ACT blade has collaborated with leading industry players, various European Research centres.
Over the years, the technology and the founders received many awards, among which the G20 Innovation Award and the EIT Public award.
In 2023, ACT Blade has been selected as one a top 100 solutions in Europe for the transition to net-zero by the-arch.eu.
Increasing Wind Energy Production
Its lower weight enables longer blades to be built with lower mass and the same mass-moment at blade root, producing more energy with minimal change in turbine loads
Reducing Capital Costs
Due to its modularity, the ACT Blade can be manufactured by existing supply chains and entails a far simpler and faster assembly process which can reduce capital costs by up to 45%.
Lowering the Cost of Wind Energy
For example, an ACT blade can be 10% longer than a conventional blade, producing over 9% more energy and reducing the levelised cost of energy produced by c.7%
Improving sustainability
The ACT Blade is designed to be partly recyclable and to use recycled material, reducing landfill waste and aligning with responsible energy production.
