Company Profile

Chillwind are experts in wind monitoring. Based in the Scottish Highlands — where the wind resource is the best in Europe — we manufacture, supply and install guyed meteorological masts and associated instrumentation.

For 17 years we’ve been at the leading edge of British wind power and to
date, have supplied and installed more than 1200 systems throughout the UK
and Europe.

Chillwind was the first met mast producer to supply monopole towers to 70m, back in 2003. Always at the forefront of the industry, we are now the only met mast producer in the UK to make a 90m guyed monopole mast.

EXTREME WIND MONITORING

We have built an unrivalled reputation for providing high quality wind data
in varied and challenging environments, including:

  • Swedish Forests, Portuguese mountains, Andean peaks
  • Scottish Highlands to Scottish Islands
  • The Welsh Valleys, English pastures, Irish bogs
  • From wild hilltops to industrial estates, and everything in between.

CLIENTS

Our commitment to service and quality means that Chillwind has gained a loyal and diverse client base including many of the major European windfarm developers and electricity utilites.

From the enterprising individual or company installing a single turbine to meet their own electricity needs (Dundee Cold Stores)

…to community groups realizing their local windpower assets (Barra, Tiree, Storas Uibhist, North Harris Trust, Horshader, Sleat, Glenelg & Arnisdale Development Trust, Melness Crofters)

…to the largest developers and consultants in the windpower industry (Scottish Power, Vattenfall, RES, Airtricity, Scottish & Southern Energy, NPower, Nuon, Sgurr Energy, Natural Power).

This broad spectrum of clients is reflected in the variety of project types and scales we are involved in. We have provided wind monitoring for projects ranging from 5kW domestic systems to the largest onshore windfarm in Europe, Scottish Power’s flagship 322MW development at Whitelee, near Glasgow. The badge of ‘Europe’s largest windfarm’ will shortly pass to SSE Renewables’ Clyde Windfarm, for which Chillwind has also carried out all wind resource monitoring.

We would be delighted to discuss your wind monitoring requirements with you and, with this range of experience, we are confident we can deliver.
