Cracks in foundation led to wind turbine’s collapse
TransAlta Renewables has to replace the foundations of 50 wind turbines at Kent Hills wind farm. An investigation has revealed serious structural issues. This caused a 100-metre-tall turbine to collapse in the fall of 2021. The company expects the work to cost between $75 and $100 million. Kent Hills wind turbines will remain offline until the end of 2023.
