Judge blocks turbine manufacturer exit from Vineyard Wind project
A Massachusetts judge has temporarily blocked a turbine manufacturer from withdrawing from a major offshore wind farm project. Vineyard Wind sought the injunction after GE Renewables announced plans to terminate its contracts. GE Vernova, the manufacturer's parent company, claims Vineyard Wind owes it $300 million for work done on the project. Vineyard Wind argues GE owes $545 million due to a turbine blade collapse in July 2024. The judge agreed with Vineyard Wind, saying it would be fanciful to pretend that a new contractor could finish the job. Vineyard Wind is a joint venture expected to generate enough electricity to power about 400,000 homes.
