Norwegian renewable energy firm Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA announced on Thursday that it has temporarily shut down a wind farm in Norway after an incident with a turbine.
Cloudberry Clean Energy said it had shut down the Odal Vind wind farm, located in the Engerfjellet Park in Norway, following an incident on April 10 in which a blade from a turbine broke off without causing any injury or other material damages.
In connection with the incident, Odal Vind and Spanish-German wind engineering firm Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA will conduct a thorough probe to understand issues which resulted in the incident and to prevent similar incidents in the future, the company said.
"The incident is covered by Odal Vind's financial warranties, and therefore it is not expected to have any significant financial implications," Cloudberry said.
As previously announced, Siemens Gamesa is currently in a process to repair and exchange previously identified blade defects.
