Clean-up continues several miles southwest of Frankfort after a wind turbine blade was damaged April 14 on an Irish Creek Wind tower, sending pieces of the blade into fields below.
“We are aware of the wind turbine blade failure at Irish Creek Wind on Friday, April 14,” said Sara Cassidy, NextEra Energy Resources spokesperson, on Tuesday morning. “We believe this was an isolated incident and the cause is under investigation. We are conducting a thorough safety analysis, including drone inspections, and will clean up the area and remove all damaged equipment safely and as quickly as possible.”
