Wind Turbine Construction Delayed in Schipkau, Brandenburg
What happened
A large wind turbine project in Schipkau, Brandenburg, features a tower designed to reach 984 feet above a brown coal field using a self-lifting inner structure. The nacelle, hub, and generator were craned into place at roughly 500 feet. The scheduled lift of the movable inner tower, which weighs about 830 US tons, was postponed due to strong winds. The rotor blades are also delayed.
