All 11 Documented Cases
Injury and Fatality Costs from Poor Incident Investigation in Renewable Construction and O&M
$500,000–$2,000,000 per serious incident, recurring annually on multi‑site portfoliosWeak safety audits, incident reporting, and root‑cause investigations in wind/solar construction and maintenance lead to repeat injuries and fatalities, driving recurring medical, workers’ comp, lost‑time, and subcontractor replacement costs. Industry guidance stresses that audits and streamlined incident reporting are needed precisely to avoid these costly workplace injuries and fatalities, implying current practices leave money on the table.
Lost Generation and Downtime from Inadequate Incident Reporting and Investigation
$50,000–$300,000 in lost production per major incident at utility‑scale sites, often multiple times per yearWhen safety incidents shut down turbines, solar strings, or BESS blocks, poor reporting and investigation prolongs root‑cause identification and corrective actions, extending downtime and lost revenue. Regulators and safety bodies emphasize that timely, accurate incident data and robust investigation practices are critical to prevent recurrence and ensure reliability, underscoring that current inconsistencies in reporting and follow‑up create systemic capacity loss.
Service Delays and Contract Strain from Slow Incident Response and Reporting
$20,000–$200,000 per delayed project or major service disruption (liquidated damages, change orders, overhead)In service‑for‑renewables contracts, safety incidents on client sites often halt work until investigations and reports are completed; when these processes are slow or disorganized, project timelines slip and client confidence erodes. Industry guidance stresses that emergency response plans, clear internal and external notification procedures, and streamlined incident reporting are needed to prevent incidents from cascading into major failures, implying that current gaps cause avoidable schedule and relationship damage.
Regulatory Penalties and Enforcement Actions from Late or Incomplete Incident Reporting
$10,000–$150,000 per enforcement action in fines and corrective‑action costs, recurring across yearsRenewable operators face strict requirements to report serious incidents and certain near‑misses to OSHA and offshore regulators, with mandated time windows and information fields. Failure to provide timely, accurate incident reports exposes companies to citations, fines, and intensified oversight, and regulators emphasize that new reporting rules were created because earlier reporting was inconsistent and incomplete.
