The 806 MW Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind farm, which comprises 62 GE Vernova Haliade-X 13 MW wind turbines, was recently completed with commissioning activities currently underway.

The court filing from 17 April states that Vineyard Wind pointed out that the project is two years behind schedule, the cause of which includes defects in turbine blades manufactured and installed under GE’s responsibility. The blade failure in 2024, which included the blade breaking off and falling into the ocean, triggered environmental cleanup, investigations, and the replacement of nearly all blades that were installed by that point, delaying the construction work.
