A Massachusetts judge has denied GE Vernova’s appeal in the Vineyard Wind case, keeping a preliminary injunction in place for the Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind project.
Massachusetts has activated 20-year contracts for Vineyard Wind 1, securing fixed offshore wind power pricing and delivering $ 1.4 billion in projected customer savings.
A Massachusetts judge has temporarily blocked GE Vernova from exiting its service contract with Vineyard Wind, citing the developer’s reliance on the supplier’s specialized turbine knowledge.
Vineyard Wind has sued GE Vernova in Boston to stop the turbine supplier from terminating contracts tied to the 806 MW Vineyard Wind 1 project, as both sides dispute withheld payments, performance issues and liability linked to the blade failure.
Vineyard Wind completed blade installation and Revolution Wind began supplying electricity, marking a major offshore wind milestone for New England after years of delays, cost pressure and legal disputes.
