What if a single malfunction could halt a major offshore wind project? This week, we unpack the dramatic failure of a 13-megawatt GE Venova blade during testing at the Vineyard Wind 1 project off Massachusetts, leading to extensive debris on Nantucket beaches and a stringent response from the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Plus, we explore the repercussions for offshore wind projects and the potential legal actions from the town of Nantucket against the project's owners, Avangrid and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.
