Get
to know us

At Freen, we are committed to making clean energy accessible worldwide. Based in Estonia, our focused team is pioneering advances in small wind turbines and energy storage solutions to enable true energy independence for businesses, households, and communities.

Inspired by Georges Darrieus’ original invention of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines and driven by more than a decade of continuous R&D, we have refined vertical turbine technology that delivers industry-leading efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Over the years, our portfolio has expanded to include both vertical and horizontal wind turbines as well as advanced energy storage systems. Since 2025, we have been offering European-made LiFePO₄ and sodium-ion batteries, ensuring that energy independence is not only possible but reliable and safe. Together, these solutions form a complete ecosystem that empowers our customers to secure their energy future.

Our facility

Our production facility is strategically located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, in close proximity to major European highways, ports, and railway hubs, which dramatically facilitates logistics and enables us to ship our products worldwide without delays. This modern factory has a combined area of over 25,000 square meters and is designed for the mass production of small wind turbines (4,000 units per year, with potential for higher output) and energy storage systems (1,200 units per year, with potential to scale up).
In addition, our wide range of modern CNC equipment in combination with our technical expertise enable us to manufacture high-quality, complex metal assemblies and turbine components End-to-end quality control is achieved through a well established multi-tier QA process and a corporate ERP system that logs the results of each production stage. Precision-sensitive components are additionally checked using the ZEISS Contura machine.
Our production processes are certified.

Project funding

Freen OÜ is backed by a considerable pool of private investors who have already committed EUR 36.4 million to our wind energy project. In addition, we actively apply to relevant green energy programs and have succeeded in securing additional funding from various European renewable energy initiatives. For example, we have received substantial financial support under the Ida-Viru Entrepreneurship Investments grant of EUR 2.6 million from the EAS-administered Just Transition Fund, to bolster our production capacity and generate new employment opportunities.
The company’s initiative comprised construction of an extension to our existing factory and procurement of additional manufacturing equipment. The overarching objective was to diversify the Freen’s business pursuits by enabling the company to manufacture our patented wind turbines and offer our metal processing capabilities to other European wind turbine manufacturers. This initiative entailed acquisition of essential metal processing machinery and expansion of the existing production facility. A number of high-value jobs were created in the area as a result of this undertaking.
