  Location:	Berlin, DE
  Speaker:	Guido Luetsch
  Title:	Managing Director
  Primary Industry:	Wind Power
  Executive Summary:	The objective of the project is an innovative technology for the production of renewable energy by harnessing strong winds at a high altitude of 1.500 feet for less than 2 Cent/kWh. The concept assembles well known technologies: - Automatically steered kites and - Monorail-Systems into a base load power plant. NTS power plants have the capability to produce renewable energy for lesser costs than fossil fuels. As the wind blows about 80-90% of the time at 1.500 feet, the utilization rate of the high altitude power plant is at least three times higher than that of conventional windmills (20-30%). NTS shows for the first time a solution how to bring the kinetic energy of the strong winds at 1.500 feet to the ground.

• NTS power plants are baseload plants. Availability 80-90% of the time. Production cost below 2 Cent/kwh. Suitable to nearly any territory- The plant can generally be constructed independent from geographic aspects. Predictability of energy generation. No transport losses.
