Update on Kent Hills Wind Farm Fire

We have an update today on that fire at the Kent Hills wind farm last month. Investigators have ruled out a lightning strike as the cause of the blaze which did considerable damage to one of the over 30 turbines. Energy Minister Jack Keir tells CHSJ News, nothing has been pinpointed yet.


Even with a lightning strike ruled out, Minister Keir says he isn't worried about a manufacturing defect with the turbines.
