California Energy & Power was established in 2005 for the purpose of developing and commercializing a new technology for vertical axis wind turbines. Since that time, we have developed an efficient aerospace-designed vertical wind turbine, the CAL-E-POWER-10K. We are building worldwide licensing and partnering platform from which the CAL-E-POWER 10K wind turbine, concentrator technologies, and related products can be sold. We are first focused on providing renewable energy to the largest users of fossil fuels in island states, initially in Hawaii. Our vertical wind turbine will provide an efficient and commercially attractive energy solution in a large variety of environments where distributed energy production is appropriate.  We are specializing in a niche for distributed electrical generation in an industry that is wide open – it includes areas with good wind resources that are unsuitable for large wind turbines, but have too large an energy demand for small wind turbines. However, this will not preclude us from deploying in other areas – including, for example, boosting power in transmission lines to compensate for line losses in large-scale wind farms and along high-voltage power lines. 

By utilizing modular construction and lightweight manufacturing, our turbines will be designed to satisfy a wide range of power goals. The “Wind Concentrator” technology included with our turbines effectively increases the power produced by the turbine by 400%, as compared to the power produced by the turbine without the Wind Concentrator technology. With this configuration customers realize many benefits from this clean renewable energy source, including low maintenance costs, in a scalable, wildlife-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing turbine. Our U.S. patent application on our 10 kW design is currently pending. We are also working on designs for 500 watt, 1 KW and 5 KW systems, for development at a future time.
