What is Project
Re- Wind?
If you manage aging wind turbines, demolition is not your only option. Re-Wind converts your existing towers, foundations, and grid connections into productive assets again by installing new Mundo-Power vertical axis systems on the structures already in place.
KEY ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT RE-WIND
Re-Wind keeps the structures in service and mounts new vertical-axis systems on what you've built.
Rapid install time
tilt-tower design, no cranes required.
Hybrid ready
integrates solar and storage modules for 24/7 operation.
Reuse existing infrastructure
Uses existing roads, pads, and wiring.
Minimal site disturbance
uses existing roads and cables.
Reduced carbon footprint
reuse of steel and foundations cuts CO₂ by over 80 % versus new builds.
Future adaptable
Designed for modular upgrades and relocation if grid needs or site ownership change.
The Economic Case
For most towers, Re-Wind avoids demolition costs, cuts new capex, and delivers a new 25-year asset with a simple payback in the mid-single digits.
- Avoided demolition: Typical demo savings of about $40,000 per tower, including blast, haul-off, and site remediation.
- Lower capex: Reusing towers and foundations reduces upfront spend by roughly 60 percent compared with a full greenfield rebuild.
- New asset life: Retrofit extends tower usefulness by 25+ years with minimal civil work.
- Payback window: Modeled scenarios show payback in the 5–8 year range under common wind and power-price assumptions.

FAQ
Can old H-axis foundations really support new VAWTs?
Yes. Our engineers assess load capacity and use custom mounts and tie systems to fit existing footings.
What about grid interconnection?
We reuse existing cables and tie-ins whenever possible. If needed, systems can run stand-alone or battery-backed.
Is it quiet enough for community sites?
Testing shows +5 dB at 4.5 m—comparable to normal conversation.
Can we add solar or EV charging?
Yes. Project Re-Wind™ is compatible with Mundo's Portable Power Trailer and PPT-EV systems.
