[Turbine burns due to mechanical fault]
Un molino del parque eólico del marquesado ardió sobre las tres de la tarde como consecuencia de un fallo mecánico aunque, según iberdrola, las causas exactas del siniestro las tendrá que determinar el fabricante del aerogenerador. La eléctrica puso en funcionamiento un plan de seguridad en el que intervinieron Bomberos de Guadix, Guardia Civil y operarios de la propia empresa. En torno al molino se desplegó un perímetro de seguridad de 120 metros para evitar daños personales o materiales. El incendio no afectó al funcionamiento del parque eólico del Marquesado a pesar de la aparatosa columna de humo visible desde la autovía a-92.
