Overview
- A blade detached from a turbine at the Brechfa Forest West Wind Farm near Abergorlech in Carmarthenshire.
- Natural Resources Wales has restricted access to parts of the 6,500-hectare forest as a safety precaution.
- Walking trails are closed and the Raven, Derwen, and Gorlech mountain biking routes are diverted, while public rights of way remain open according to on-site signage.
- A posted notice set an exclusion from February 27 to March 6, though officials say the closure will stay in effect until the area is verified safe.
- Operator RWE is investigating the cause of the failure, and no timeline has been given for repairs or reattachment of the blade.
