What happened

A news report dated 28 May 2019 states that a wind turbine collapsed in Clinton County, New York.

The date of the collapse itself is not stated and may differ from the publication date. This entry will be updated if fuller reporting emerges.

Contributing factors

Not reported.

Lessons learned

Turbine tower and structural collapses do occur and warrant a documented inspection and structural integrity regime across a fleet.
Condition monitoring and periodic bolt, weld and foundation checks help detect structural weakness before failure.
Site exclusion zones and access controls limit harm to people if a tower or blade fails without warning.
