EIR-0747Other entries that name Siemens Gamesa
Provisional entry. Confirmed: a Norwegian wind farm, Odal Vind, returned to service around a year after Siemens Gamesa blade failures; not yet known are the number of turbines affected, the root cause, the extent of any site shutdown, and whether anyone was hurt. Next update: 17 September 2026.
Trade press reported in May 2025 that the Odal Vind wind farm in Norway had returned to service around a year after blade failures on Siemens Gamesa turbines at the site. The report states that a blade breakage in the previous year triggered investigations. The available source is a headline and short summary only: it does not report how many turbines were affected, the extent of the damage, how much of the site was out of service, whether any injuries occurred, or the root cause findings.
Not reported.
- Blade failures can keep turbines out of service for many months while investigations and repairs are completed.
- Operators should agree investigation and repair responsibilities with the turbine supplier in advance, so that a suspected component issue does not stall recovery.
- Where one blade fails, similar blades across the site and wider fleet warrant inspection before return to service.
