Two women had an idea to make wind energy accessible.
Then they spent nearly 5 years figuring it out.
Welcome to Aurea (ORE-ee-uh).
We started in 2017 so that anyone can locate, generate, and store their own reliable power using the wind. Founded by outdoor enthusiasts, Cat Adalay and Rachel Carr, Aurea solves one of today’s most overlooked challenges: access to reliable power when and where it’s needed most. Whether you’re deep in the backcountry, responding to a disaster, or deployed on the front lines.

Professionally Made. Obsessively Tested.
Aurea is proud to develop and validate its wind energy products in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the East Coast of Canada.
How it Works
Wind: air flows over the turbine body
Yaw: Turbine pivots into wind
Rotor: Wind causes blades to spin
Battery: Charges with no device connected
Device: Cable plugs into turbine to charge
Why Wind and Not Solar?
This graph shows the average availability of wind vs. solar in California throughout the year over 24 hours. Wind power can be available regardless of time of day, whereas solar peaks just for a few hours a day.
