Wind turbines on Wolfe Island are turning again after a recent blade failure prompted a widespread shutdown, though the exact cause of the incident remains under investigation.

TransAlta, the company operating the wind facility, has been returning the turbines to service in stages. Following initial safety checks, more than half of the fleet has now been brought back online.

“They did their spot inspections on more than 30 per cent…. They found no problems,” said Frontenac Islands, Ont., Mayor Judy Greenwood-Speers.
