The collapse of a wind turbine in China has prompted a state authority to order a daylong shutdown of projects in the region to tackle safety failings. The Xinjiang Supervision Office of China’s National Energy Administration issued the notice on 3 November following the collapse of a turbine being constructed by China Power Construction Barkol New Energy Co. during electrical installation work. The company is reportedly developing a 600MW wind farm using 7.15MW turbines near Hami, a city in the northwestern Xinjiang province. No website or contact details for the company or the project were immediately available online.
