Violent incident on the wind power construction site: Two workers injured!

Kirchdorf experienced a worrying event on Tuesday when two workers were slightly injured in the establishment of a wind turbine near Kuppendorf. During the work there was an incident in which a strand that was anchored in the ground was loosened and the workers hit. Fortunately, they only suffered minor injuries.

Investigations on site by the Diepholz police inspection showed that it was not a random incident. According to the first results of the investigation, essential components of the wind turbine were deliberately damaged. This willful destruction forces the police to stop the further work on the system for the time being and to lock the site. Investigations are currently underway for assault and property damage.

Investigations in a way

The police have not yet been able to name an exact date or time window for the alleged damage. The wind turbine was open to the public from mid -June to mid -September, which means that the alleged perpetrators had access to this period. The police have called the public to encourage possible witnesses or people who have made conspicuous observations. The whistle can contact the police on the phone number (05441) 9710.

The estimated costs for the damage caused by these willful acts amount to at least 250,000 euros. The incident raises questions about the security and protection of critical infrastructure projects, especially in an area that is increasingly in the focus of the energy transition.

The circumstances of the incident illustrate the need to improve security measures and surveillance systems on construction sites for wind turbines in order to prevent such irresponsible behavior. These developments are crucial in order to not only ensure the physical safety of the workers, but also the integrity and efficiency of projects that are crucial for the production of renewable energies.

The investigation will be continued and the police will do everything they can to hold those responsible. Further information and developments on this incident can be found on www.dieharke.de are read.
