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.

Vineyard Wind sues GE Renewables over Massachusetts offshore wind farm

The developer of a major Massachusetts offshore wind farm is suing its turbine manufacturer seeking to force it to stay with the project. Vineyard Wind filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Massachusetts against GE Renewables. That comes after the parent company for GE Renewables said it would be terminating its contracts for turbine services and maintenance at the end of April. GE Vernova says Vineyard Wind owes it $300 million for work it performed, but Vineyard Wind counters that the manufacturer remains on the hook for about $545 million to make up for a catastrophic turbine blade collapse in July 2024 and the delays that caused. Fiberglass fragments of a blade broke apart and began washing onto Nantucket beaches in July 2024 during the peak of tourist season.
