Incident Report on Damage Assessment

Date of Inspection: February 28, 2025

Location: Alibunar Wind Farm

On the aforementioned date, we conducted an inspection at the Alibunar Wind Farm following a
report of damage. It was observed that one of the blades of the wind turbine sustained significant
damage. These wind turbines are advanced structures designed for harnessing wind energy to
generate electricity, consisting of a tower and rotor blades that convert kinetic energy from the wind
into mechanical energy.

During our assessment, it was noted that the entire blade had detached from the turbine and had
fallen to the ground. The exact cause of the damage remains unknown at the time of assessment;
however, it was evident that the entire blade appeared to have been dislodged from its housing, as
if it had been "unscrewed." It fell to the ground under its own weight and was fractured in multiple
places.

According to a statement from the representative of the insured party, an error notification was
reported in the system during the early morning hours. The notification indicated that there was an
issue with wind turbine number 6, serial number 100374 (coordinates N 20 degrees 54 minutes
41.28 seconds and E 45 degrees 03 minutes 22.02 seconds), and that the turbine was inaccessible.

Extent of Damage

The construction of the wind turbines was carried out by Prenecon, a company known for its
expertise in renewable energy projects and infrastructure development. They have a solid
reputation in the industry for successfully delivering complex projects on time and within budget.

The installation of the turbines was performed by Senvion, a prominent player in the wind energy
sector, recognized for its innovative turbine designs and commitment to sustainability. Senvion
specializes in providing high-quality wind energy solutions and has a strong track record in various
international markets.
Maintenance services are provided by Siemens GMS, a division of Siemens that focuses on the
operation and maintenance of wind energy facilities. Siemens GMS is well-regarded for its technical
expertise and comprehensive service offerings, ensuring optimal performance and reliability of wind
turbines.

The blades themselves are composed of polycarbonate reinforced with fibers, a material known for
its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent durability. This composite material is designed to
withstand harsh environmental conditions while maintaining performance efficiency. Specifically,
blades made from this material can endure wind speeds of up to 25 meters per second
(approximately 90 kilometers per hour), ensuring their structural integrity under typical operational
conditions.

The turbines in question have a rated capacity of 2 megawatts (MW), which allows them to produce
up to 2 megawatts of electrical power when operating at full capacity. In optimal conditions, each
turbine can supply electricity to approximately 1,500 households annually, highlighting their
significant contribution to renewable energy generation.

Next Steps

Following the damage assessment and the collection of all relevant information, the subsequent
steps include:

Investigation of the Cause: A detailed analysis is required to determine the precise cause of the
blade dislodgement, including whether the issue stems from potential installation errors or if the
blade itself may have been a defective product. This investigation will involve reviewing technical
reports, analyzing operational data from the turbine, and consulting with engineering experts to
ensure a comprehensive understanding of the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Repair Planning: Based on the findings of the investigation, a plan for the repair or replacement of
damaged components should be developed. This plan should include a timeline, necessary
resources, and budget considerations.

Notification of Relevant Parties: All relevant parties, including the insurance company and investors,
should be informed of the assessment findings and the planned steps. Transparency in
communication is crucial for maintaining trust and collaboration.
Implementation of Solutions: Upon approval of the plan, proceed with the implementation of
solutions, including engaging qualified contractors and overseeing all activities to ensure compliance
with safety standards and quality.

Monitoring and Evaluation: After the completion of the work, conduct additional checks and
evaluations to ensure that all systems are in proper condition and that the turbines are operating
optimally.

Documentation Requests

Based on the preceding discussions and in order to comprehensively understand the situation, we
request the following documents:

Technical Report:

A detailed technical report that includes drawings and specifications related to the type of wind
turbine installed. This document should encompass all relevant technical characteristics and
standards.

Authorized Company Report:

A report from an authorized company that clearly defines the cause of the failure, including an
analysis of all potential contributing factors. This report should also include recommended remedial
measures, as well as detailed costs for procurement, delivery, and installation of the necessary
components.

Internal Failure Report:

An internal report describing the circumstances surrounding the failure, including the time, location,
and all relevant activities that preceded the incident. This report should document the response
measures taken in written form to ensure that all steps are recorded.

Maintenance Documentation:

All relevant maintenance records for the wind turbine, including routine inspections, interventions,
and any previous reports on the condition of the equipment.

Legal Documents:
All relevant legal documents pertaining to warranties, insurance, and other obligations related to the
installation and maintenance of the wind turbine.
