Feds Investigate Wind Turbine Lightning Strike

The federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement will oversee the investigation into a lightning strike on a Vineyard Wind turbine.

The turbines are equipped with lightning protection, but last week's strike hit the turbine that lost a faulty blade last summer.

The BSEE is requiring a comprehensive assessment of the turbine and its equipment to determine the full extent of the damage.

So far, no debris has been found near the turbine.
