Overview

Kinewell is a Wallsend, North Tyneside-based company offering a software suite that leverages artificial intelligence and supercomputing to design more efficient offshore wind farms. By analysing millions of turbine, cabling and transmission variables, the platform typically lowers overall project costs by about 6 percent and removes months from development schedules. The company currently employs 12 people and counts major renewable energy producers such as Equinor, SSE Renewables, Parkwind and Eurus Energy among its global clients. With its recent capital infusion, Kinewell plans to accelerate technology development, commercialisation and nearly double its workforce by adding ten roles over the next six months. The firm positions its product as a critical cost-saving tool for the rapidly expanding offshore wind sector, aiming to become a standard in layout optimisation. Financially, Kinewell has now secured over £1 million in total capital, combining equity and grant funding gathered during its first external financing.
