Aerones, the world’s leading provider of robotic inspection, maintenance, and AI-driven solutions for wind turbines, today announces that it has secured $62 million in capital in a significantly oversubscribed financing to accelerate its global expansion and technology development. 

The funding round was co-led by Activate Capital and S2G Investments (“S2G”), with additional participation from Carbon Equity and Overlap Holdings, alongside existing investors Lightrock, Blume Equity, Metaplanet, Change Ventures, and Extantia. This latest funding follows Aerones’ securing of a €4 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund in 2024 and a $30 million funding round in 2023.

As the global wind industry accelerates towards doubling in size by 2030, it faces a shortage of skilled technicians and the challenge of maintaining ever-larger, more complex turbines. These pressures are driving urgent demand for efficient, scalable, and safe maintenance and inspection solutions. Aerones meets this need by combining advanced robotics with AI-powered software, reducing reliance on manual labour and delivering faster, more reliable operations for wind farm operators worldwide. 

“Our mission is to automate wind turbine inspection and maintenance globally,” commented Dainis Kruze, Co-founder and CEO of Aerones. “The world cannot meet its renewable energy goals without innovation—and there simply aren’t enough qualified technicians to keep up with the growth of this industry. With this new investment, we’re expanding faster than ever to meet the urgent demand for intelligent, robot-enabled and AI-powered solutions.”

Following a record-breaking year in which Aerones nearly tripled its revenue and expanded operations, the company has solidified its position as the global leader in robotic wind turbine inspection and maintenance. With a new operational hub in Dallas, Texas, Aerones is expanding its reach in the U.S. and internationally, working with industry leaders such as GE Vernova, NextEra, Vestas, Enel, and Siemens Gamesa, and delivering the full spectrum of robotic inspection, maintenance, and data-driven diagnostics.

Aerones’ technology is delivering measurable progress in clean energy by optimising turbine performance, extending asset lifespans, and minimising downtime for wind farm operators globally. Since 2020, Aerones has enabled nearly 400,000 MWh of additional clean electricity and helped avoid 165,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, with the potential to prevent over 170 million tonnes in the next five years, while servicing over 10,000 turbines annually in more than 30 countries.

With this new $62 million investment, Aerones will significantly expand its operational capacity worldwide and accelerate research and development in AI-driven automation, robotics, and customer-facing software solutions. The company plans to scale up its robot manufacturing capabilities and invest in advanced predictive maintenance tools, leveraging data from thousands of robotic inspections. These initiatives will enable Aerones to further accelerate preventive maintenance in the wind industry, delivering safe, efficient, and scalable robotic solutions that set new standards for reliability and performance.
