What Windhunter Group does

Windhunter Group is a Poland-based renewable energy services group operating through two wholly-owned subsidiaries: windhunter service sp. z o.o., founded in 1998 in Koszalin, and Windhunter Academy Sp. z o.o., established in 2009. The service division supplies and installs wind measurement infrastructure — lattice masts up to 200m, telescopic tubular masts up to 100m, and ground-based LiDAR/SoDAR remote sensing devices from partners such as ZX Lidars, Vaisala, and AQSystem — and provides specialist workforce support for wind turbine installation and maintenance, including iSpin, LiDAR, obstruction lamps, and bird/bat monitoring system mounting. The academy division is a GWO-accredited training center delivering Basic Safety Training, Basic Technical Training, Advanced Rescue Training, Enhanced First Aid, Slinger Signaller, Lift User, UDT, and electrical licensing courses, alongside a vocational Wind Turbine Technician program with employment guarantee and PPE consulting, sales, rental, and inspection services. Customers include turbine manufacturers, developers, and wind experts across 20+ countries, plus named offshore wind partners such as OX2 and RWE for reskilling programs, with distribution via direct enterprise sales, on-site training, online/hybrid delivery, and Polish government funding channels. The group is part of the FAMUR (Grenevia Group) conglomerate, generating revenue primarily through project-based professional services contracts, course fees, and hardware sales, with two training campuses in Koszalin and Wałbrzych.

Direct peers

• Deutsche WindGuard: German wind energy consultancy offering wind measurement campaigns, LiDAR/mast services, turbine inspections, and GWO-accredited training. Most direct functional twin to Windhunter, covering both measurement services and certified training in the European wind market.
• Natural Power: UK-based renewable energy consultancy providing wind resource assessment, met mast and LiDAR measurement services, and training/certification programmes for the wind industry. Highly comparable business model across both of Windhunter's core service lines.
• energy & meteo systems: German specialist in wind measurement (met masts, LiDAR/SoDAR) and energy-yield forecasting for wind farm developers. Directly competes with windhunter_service on remote-sensing wind measurement campaigns and wind resource assessment projects.
• SgurrEnergy (Wood): SgurrEnergy, now part of Wood, is a global wind engineering consultancy offering wind resource assessment, site feasibility, and measurement services to developers and OEMs — directly comparable to Windhunter's measurement services division.
• EOLE-RES: French specialist in wind measurement campaigns, met masts, and wind resource assessment across Europe and Africa. Comparable mid-sized European player offering wind measurement services to developers and OEMs, with overlapping customer base.

Broad incumbents

• DNV: Global certification, testing, and advisory firm serving wind energy with measurement validation, type certification, training, and due diligence services. Competes with Windhunter in adjacent areas (testing, certification) but at much broader scale across renewables and other industries.
• TÜV SÜD: Global testing, inspection, and certification body offering wind energy training programmes (including GWO-aligned courses), turbine certification, and measurement-related services. Overlaps with Windhunter Academy's training portfolio and windhunter_service's certification work.
• Vaisala: Global weather and environmental measurement company (Triton, WindCube) whose LiDAR/SoDAR devices are deployed by Windhunter. While primarily an equipment vendor, Vaisala's wind measurement solutions compete with Windhunter's measurement service offering for certain end customers.

Emerging players

• Ammonit Measurement: German manufacturer and supplier of measurement equipment (data loggers, sensors, met masts) for wind resource assessment campaigns. Adjacent competitor — supplies equipment Windhunter uses but also enables customers to self-deploy measurement campaigns.
• ZX Lidars: UK-based LiDAR manufacturer for wind measurement whose devices Windhunter services and deploys. As a hardware-only player, ZX is a partial competitor (customers can rent directly from ZX) but primarily a technology partner for Windhunter's measurement services.
