On 15 August 2023, turbine T06 at the Scroby Sands offshore wind farm caught fire in the nacelle, destroying its generator, gearbox and blades and resulting in total loss of operation of that turbine; the incident also required six neighbouring turbines to be taken out of commission for about a week until cables at the site could be isolated, after which the damaged nacelle, blades and upper tower section were later deconstructed and sent to EMR for high‑rate material recycling under RWE’s circular‑economy programme.
