“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.”
