Eolic Wall is a Peru-based renewable energy startup revolutionizing distributed wind generation. While 40% of solar capacity is distributed, less than 1% of wind energy is—because traditional turbines need massive scale to be efficient. Eolic Wall has cracked the code with the Eolic Cell, a 2x2x2 meter modular wind system that delivers utility-scale efficiency with 20x the power density of solar.

Founded by Natalia and Alfredo, former bankers turned deep tech innovators, Eolic Wall uses proprietary aerodynamic geometry and magnetic levitation to achieve the same levelized cost of energy (LCOE) as traditional large-scale turbines—but in a compact, stackable format perfect for buildings, factories, and data centers.
