The Vineyard Wind 1 project is located 15 miles (24 kilometres) off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard and will feature 62 GE Haliade-X 13 MW turbines.
Recently, a blade failure occurred at the project site which was caused by a manufacturing deviation, GE Vernova’s CEO Scott Strazik revealed during an earnings call on 24 July. Following the incident, GE Vernova will reinspect all the offshore wind blades made at its factory in Gaspé, Canada, where the one that was installed on a Vineyard Wind 1 turbine was produced, according to Strazik.
