The damage pictures don't look that bad. So a niche headline - but nothing serious.
That's the principle problem with a large power station - there is a lot of energy to do har, when something goes wrong. It's similar with dams, wind turbines, natural gas plants, oil wells and nuclear power. The relatively low power density of the renewables also have a good side.
I won't expect a little smoke do much against a high light power. The smoke gets hot and will rise by thermal effects. Also wind can make this a rather short time solution, especially further up in the tower.
