Incidents involving the failure of wind turbine blades were reported at two wind power parks in Germany. At the Lübbenow wind farm, a rotor blade from a turbine at a height of 123 meters crashed to the ground, creating a loud impact that drew local attention. Separately, a recently commissioned wind turbine at a facility near Lübz experienced a blade snap, marking an early operational issue for the site. The Lübbenow incident involved a turbine blade breaking off and falling, while the Lübz case highlighted a blade failure on a turbine that had just entered service. No specific injuries were reported in either case, though the incidents prompted immediate inspections by park operators. The affected turbines are part of larger wind energy installations, with Lübbenow featuring multiple units designed to generate renewable power. Authorities and turbine manufacturer Vestas, involved in the north-east Germany case, have launched investigations to determine the causes, focusing on structural integrity and maintenance records. Preliminary assessments suggest the failures may relate to material fatigue or manufacturing defects, though no conclusive findings have been released. Cleanup and repair efforts are underway, with plans to reinforce safety protocols across the parks, though no timeline for resuming full operations has been set.
