Point Tupper Wind Turbine Collapse Sparks Investigation

From CBC Nova Scotia:

An 80-metre wind turbine has collapsed in Nova Scotia, prompting an investigation by Enercon, the device's manufacturer.

According to company officials, no one was injured when the turbine fell Aug. 17 at the Point Tupper Wind Farm. Nova Scotia's Department of Energy confirms they are aware of the collapse.

Crews were performing regularly scheduled maintenance on the turbine, exchanging a large component, said Karine Asselin, business development manager with Enercon, via phone from the company's national headquarters in Montreal.

"An incident occurred and it triggered the evacuation procedure," Asselin said.
