Remember when AEP decided to buy three different wind farms from Invenergy to make up for its failed WindCatcher fiasco? The three wind farms were in a different place and therefore didn't need new transmission, said AEP.
However, next thing ya know, AEP "needed" a new transmission project to deal with all that capacity from its new wind farms.
Even a third grader could have figured that one out.
But now Karma has arrived! On Monday, one of AEP's brand new wind turbines simply collapsed. Spontaneous decommissioning without a known cause. See pictures and read the story here.
How much are ratepayers going to have to pay to fix that? And is this merely the beginning of a plague of problems with this (and the other two) industrial wind installations? Defective parts sometimes seem to affect the entire facility.
Will AEP's and Invenergy's bromance end up in court over this?
