Turbine repairs at Maple Ridge
According to Tod Nash, operations manager for the Maple Ridge Wind Farm, shaft bearings for “only a select few [windmills] upon inspection,” will be needed in the coming months. Nash told the Journal the project will be “hopefully done by winter.” Nash said that the maintenance was not routine, but a warranty situation.
