Minneapolis-based National Wind has acquired Romuld Wind Consulting… a wind resource assessment and energy analysis firm from Grand Forks, North Dakota. The new division, called National Wind Assessments, will help the company work with customers and and current development projects.

This company press release has more:

“The addition of Romuld Wind Consulting is a great opportunity to further build our business toward a single source entity that can seamlessly provide the services needed to create utility-scale (50 megawatts plus) wind projects,” says Leon Steinberg, National Wind’s CEO. “An experienced wind energy assessment expert, like Romuld, is a rare commodity. The rapid growth in wind energy has created a shortage of experienced service providers in some key areas, such as wind energy assessment. We have secured this scarce resource for our projects and those of our customers.”

Romuld Wind Consulting founder Kevin Romuld, who has consulted on more than 50 wind projects across the U.S. and Canada, will join National Wind as vice president leading the new division:

“I am excited to be part of National Wind, one of the wind industry’s fastest growing companies,” says Romuld. “We are committed to providing all of the resources required to better serve our existing customers and to expand our services.”
