The project is expected to eventually see 62 turbines capable of powering 400,000 homes.In the summer months, the island’s population swells to more than 80,000 people from its usual 14,000 base.There were no injuries reported, “but operations are shut down until further notice," a BSEE spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
