Following the failure of an offshore wind turbine at a Danish offshore wind farm, offshore wind power developer Orsted is asking the relevant authorities to set up "no-entry zones" at some of its offshore wind farms. As Orsted announced on Wednesday, a rotor and three blades came loose from the nacelle of one of the offshore wind turbines at its 400-megawatt Anholt offshore wind farm and fell into the sea.
