North Dakota Coop Forced to Replace Turbine Blade

Basin Electric Coop recently replaced a blade on one of its wind turbines in Bismarck after it became damaged last spring.  The coop originally planned to replace the blade in June, but the wet weather hindered the ability of heavy machinery to set the seven-ton blade into place.  The failure of the blade is currently unknown, but the coop hopes to analyze the cause more closely now that the turbine is on the ground.  Click here for more details.
