What happens when lightning strikes?

Storm clouds painted the skies above Germany, while our technicians captured moments when nature shows its true power.

Although lightning near energy infrastructure looks impressive, projects like these are specially designed to withstand lightning strikes. Protection and grounding systems safely direct the electrical discharge into the ground, even in challenging weather conditions.

The photos were captured during hybrid tower installation works in Germany, where our team has already completed 85 towers - and the pace is only accelerating as we move closer to the 100 mark.

Sometimes working on energy projects means not only technical challenges, but also views you would never experience sitting between four walls.
