Stolen windmill in rural Manitoba has RCMP heads spinning
The RCMP are fanning out in their search for a stolen 25-foot-tall windmill and hoping the public can provide some tips. The turbine was taken sometime from July 4-6 from a property in the rural municipality of Grey, south of Portage la Prairie. "Due to the nature of the sheer size of the stolen property, RCMP believe someone in the area may have seen something," a news release said on Wednesday. The windmill is 7.6 metres tall with two-metre blades and is silver in colour. Anyone with information is asked to please call the RCMP at 204-745-6760.

GE Vernova Inc. (GEV) Receives Maintenance Order from Rio Tinto
GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is one of the 15 successful spin-off companies. On June 26, the company received a business order from Rio Tinto. The order is for the upgrade of eight turbine alternator units at the Isle Maligne hydropower plant in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec. The proposed upgrades will improve the performance and extend the life of the turbine alternator units. Additionally, they will provide power to Rio Tinto's five low-carbon aluminum smelters. The new agreement comes on the heels of Ge Vernova modernizing one generator at the plant in the past. Frederic Ribieras, Hydro Power CEO at GE Vernova, said: 'This modernization project at the Isle Maligne plant is a testament of how we can achieve greater efficiency and performance without altering the core infrastructure. And, this long-term collaboration will be critical to help secure the supply chain in a capacity-constrained market, with pressure on the industry to execute on many projects.' GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is an energy company that provides a broad range of products and services across power generation, transmission, and distribution. It is one of the most successful companies following its spin-off from GE in 2024.

China rolls out record-setting turbine for Tibet hydropower plant
China is ready to install a large impulse turbine at the Datang Zala Hydropower Station in Tibet autonomous region , according to the official Science and Technology Daily. The home-grown turbine, with a maximum capacity of 500 megawatts, has the world's largest single-unit capacity, according to the report on Wednesday. Two turbines will be installed at the station. The 80-tonne turbine left its developer plant at Harbin Electric Machinery Company in northeast China on Wednesday after four years of design and testing. The Datang Zala Hydropower Station is located on the Yuqu River, a tributary of the Nu River, which flows from southwest China through Yunnan province to eastern Myanmar and empties into the Andaman Sea. The turbine is made of martensitic steel, a type of stainless steel known for its durability, strength and corrosion resistance. It has 21 water buckets and an outer diameter measuring 6.23 metres (20 feet). Science and Technology Daily called the turbine the 'heart' of the hydropower unit.
