Why work for us?
Because we strive to make the world a better place
Because that may sound naïve, but it isn’t. And those 1.3 billion people without access to clean, affordable electricity are real. And so is global warming, they say.
Because in doing so we develop technology that is benign, beautiful, breaks records and never goes bust
Because we never stop improving it and relentlessly pursue perfection in everything we do
Because by joining us you will learn so much about your field of expertise, and even more about things that lie outside of it, that every day will feel like a school day
Because we do also get to go out and play (and our playground stretches over 5 continents)
Because you will be so empowered you will be overwhelmed with autonomy (but the support of an A-team to help you cope with it)
Because we pay you. And even more if you exceed expectations (a common trait among XANTees)

XANT blade design: breaking the mouldHow the JEEP approach led to breaking the rules XANT set out in the mid-size wind industry to do things differently. We believe the challenges of putting up turbines in remote locations and keeping them spinning are very different from building wind power plants. We set out to fight the misconception that wind power is[…]
XANT goes to AfricaXANT is very proud to announce we will deliver the XANT M wind turbine for the mini-grids of 4 fishermen villages on the Mauritanian cost north of the capital Nouakchott. The project objective is to optimize the existing mini-grids in Mauritania by increasing the share of renewable energy and developing appropriate business models to ensure[…]
Bringing the light at the lowest costXANT has delivered wind turbines for all kind of mini-grids across the globe: from a wind-diesel system in a fishermen village in Alaska, to a large multi-MW system in the Pacific to an experimental system on a demonstrator. If systems are being configured without considering wind power, this might lead to non-optimized systems and thus[…]
New markets for behind-the-meter wind*The economics of distributed wind projects could be looking promising as interest builds in the development of hybrid distributed energy development. The addition of wind can sweeten the financial performance of solar-plus-storage projects, but the calculation is technically and economically complex. That’s one reason the latest release of HOMER Grid incorporates a wind module. XANT[…]
Solving the energy-water nexusIntroduction Access to clean water is of paramount importance for ensuring necessary levels of sanitation and health. According to the World Health Organization over 844 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 159 million people who are dependent on surface water. Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated[…]
XANT makes your micro-gridTest, test, test and test again Recent tests at the REIDS micro-grid demonstrator demonstrated the capability of the XANT M turbine to act as a controlled power source. Together with the teams of Schneider Electric, ENGIE Lab Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University the firsts tests were performed with in an all-renewable configuration of the[…]
XANT Wind turbines power the wind industryThe Port of Ostend has become a leading wind energy hub providing training and accommodation for the maintenance crews and serving as sail-out port for the installation of the offshore farms in the North Sea. In a setting where each square meter of ground surface is an asset that can be rented out, the choice[…]
XANT L Development on-trackThis year XANT will broaden its product portfolio with the new XANT L platform, taking the XANT USP’s to the 250-330kW power level. The XANT L extends the suitability of the XANT turbines into the MW-size range and for larger off-grid projects that require more installed wind capacity, the XANT L will be a more[…]
XANT M Bankability confirmedApart from cost-efficient remote-power plants, XANT wind turbines also become assets on a balance sheet. Larger projects consisting of multiple turbines, or projects in rural areas of the south are often debt-financed. Understandably banks ranging from international development aid agencies to the branch office of your local bank like to see an independent review by[…]
The moon never sets on a XANT turbineSocietal change as our most precious achievement Triggered by the frustration of seeing too many hybrid-power projects fail because of inadequate technology, the XANT team set out to design robust wind turbines for the off-grid power market back in 2008. We have come a long way since and XANT turbines have now spread across the[…]
