Norway to restart wind farm that lost 22-ton Siemens Gamesa blade
OSLO, Aug 9 (Reuters) -A Norwegian wind farm that closed this year when a massive Siemens Gamesa turbine blade fell off the machinery will partly restart on Monday after a four-month outage, the plant's owner said on Friday.
Odal Vind's loss in April of the 72-metre (236 ft) blade weighing 22 metric tons highlighted the problems confronting Siemens Energy ENR1n.DE after it took full control of Spain's Siemens Gamesa in what shareholders say was a botched takeover.
Odal had already halted many of the farm's 34 turbines due to damage and inspection needs when the blade from the Siemens Gamesa 5.0-145 model, part of the turbine maker's 4.X platform, fell off in April, the two companies said at the time.
"Initially two turbines will be operational on Monday following a thorough review and inspection by Siemens Gamesa and Odal Vind," Cloudberry Clean Energy CLOUD.OL, which owns a 33.4% stake in the wind farm, said in a statement on Friday.
"Significant efforts have been made, including the replacement of several blades on the remaining turbines and comprehensive repairs," it added.
It was assumed that 20 turbines will be in production by the end of August, with a goal of bringing all 34 online by year-end, Cloudberry said.
Siemens Gamesa did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The other owners of Odal Vind are Akershus Energi with a 33.4% stake and pension fund KLP with 33.2%.
