About 500RPM

At the 500RPM Foundation, we work to promote a fair and inclusive energy transition that fosters sustainable rural development and strengthens technical education with an environmental focus.

Since our beginnings in 2010, when we brought the Piggott design—the most widely used self-built wind turbine in the world—to Argentina, we have sought to bring renewable technologies to communities that need them most. We are committed to sustainable rural electrification as a tool for social transformation.

Over time, we have broadened our vision: we have incorporated other renewable energy sources, developed our own open-source technologies, and strengthened projects that combine education, sustainable production, and public policy advocacy.

Today, we work in partnership with technical schools, social organizations, companies, and governments, convinced that only through collective and multidisciplinary work can we build a more equitable and sustainable energy future for all.

Mission: Our mission is to make low-power renewable energies massively accessible and local rural electrification technologies.

Vision: We have the vision of a world with free technological knowledge oriented to local human development and global sustainability.

From 500RPM we provide social solutions for rural electrification and productive use through the implementation of renewable energies, where education is transversal to all our actions. Do not be left out!
