P.E.I. to repair Hermanville Wind Farm turbine blade

The P.E.I. government plans to repair a turbine at the Hermanville Wind Farm that lost a blade during a storm in December. The turbine has been operating at reduced capacity since then, with repairs expected to be completed by late May or mid-June. The damage to Turbine 3 is under investigation, but it is deemed repairable. The P.E.I. Energy Corporation had already ordered spare blades, which are being manufactured in India. The province is currently losing $90,000 in monthly revenue due to the turbine's downtime. Despite the turbine being under warranty, the manufacturer will not cover the damage, and the province will not file an insurance claim. The Hermanville Wind Farm, built in 2013, has generally been reliable, with improvements made to maintain efficiency.
