While the oil that wind turbines use to keep their moving parts moving doesn’t have a way, an oil leak is always a matter of when and not if, just as with oil pipelines
That being said, yes, wind turbines do leak oil
One of the many concerns about an oil leak from a wind turbine is if the turbine in question is located in a sensitive natural area Driving past a couple large wind farms i cant help but notice the brown oil leaks or stains on the turbines It looks like around half of turbines have experienced some kind of leak Does anyone know what normally fails on this kind of machinery?
Wind turbines, which hold up to 1, 400 liters of oil, hydraulic fluid, and lubricants, can leak oil They typically last for over 20 years but require regular servicing due to their high oil consumption. The utility has established a process for notifications, remediation and cleanup of oil leaks, wilt said “through our environmental management practice, we do not have any concerns for landowners or the general public as the result of an oil leak,” wilt said in an email
“turbines are designed to contain oil leaks within the tower itself.”
