Investigation into incident at wind turbine in east-central Alberta
An investigation is underway after parts fell off a wind turbine early Friday morning near Halkirk, Alberta.
Michael Sheehan, a senior advisor with Capital Power, confirms that at 7:22 a.m. on Nov. 8, an incident occurred at the company’s soon-to-be operational Halkirk 2 (H2) wind facility in Paintearth County.
At this time, the cause remains part of what the company is trying to determine.
“The nacelle and rotor at one of the turbines (T33) fell from the tower. There are no injuries or damage to public property,” he assures.
