Innogy – the renewables subsidiary of Germany’s RWE – has launched an investigation into the cause of a fire which destroyed one of the turbines at its 16MW Knabs Ridge onshore wind farm near Harrogate in northeast England.

A spokesman for Innogy Renewables UK told Recharge as a result of the incident – involving one of eight turbines at Knabs Ridge – the fire service was called out by on-site personnel on 6 January, 2017.
