Reporting of damage or accidents on a wind turbine

If an accident occurs on a wind turbine, or if major damage occurs, that is considered to constitute a safety risk, it must be reported without undue delay to the Danish Energy Agency. Further information on the report can be found in Annex 6 of the Executive Order.

The wind turbine owner is also obliged, before the wind turbine is put into operation again, to repair the faults in the wind turbine, that are the cause of the damage and any consequential damage, and to carry out a functionality and safety test of the wind turbine and to inform the Danish Energy Agency that this has happened.
