In January, a turbine in the Nysted Offshore Wind Farm south of Lolland toppled. But the collapse has not only affected the electricity supply from the toppled turbine, as many as eight other turbines cannot send power to the electricity grid. The reason is that the toppled turbine has damaged the cable to the string of wind turbines, which consists of nine turbines including the toppled one, writes Folketidende.dk.
- We are in the process of pulling a new cable between the turbines that stood on either side of the turbine that toppled, so that they can start producing electricity again. We expect the cable work to be completed in December, weather permitting, says Søren Scherfig, Country Manager for Offshore Wind at Ørsted, which owns Nysted Offshore Wind Farm.
The row of offshore wind turbines that have been out of operation since January has a total capacity of 20.7 MW. The toppled offshore wind turbine will not be replaced by a new one. The reason the turbine fell into the sea was a cracked and collapsed foundation.
