The blustery legal battle between Vineyard Wind and the turbine manufacturer who built the faulty blade at the massive offshore wind energy project came to a quiet end this week. 

The 62-turbine project located 14 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard sued GE Vernova in April, claiming GE Vernova was planning to walk away from the project in breach of its contract to design and build the 850-foot tall turbines.

On Wednesday, the two companies settled the suit and agreed to dismiss all of the claims, according to court documents. In a joint statement, the companies described the settlement as “amicable” but declined to outline the terms.

“The terms of the settlement agreement are confidential,” they wrote.

The lawsuit largely hinged on which company owed the other in the aftermath of one of the turbine blades snapping off a turbine in 2024. 

One of the largest offshore wind energy projects in the country, Vineyard Wind was largely finished this spring and was inching toward bringing all of its turbines online. 

But GE Renewables, the parent company of GE Vernova, sent notice to Vineyard Wind in February that GE intended to terminate its construction agreements if Vineyard Wind failed to pay a portion of the $1.3 billion contract price. 

GE argued that Vineyard Wind was withholding hundreds of millions of dollars for work at the wind farm. 

Vineyard Wind sued GE to stop the company from walking away before the wind farm contract was fulfilled. Vineyard Wind didn’t dispute that it owed GE money and was withholding $308 million, but said the structure of the agreements allowed Vineyard Wind to stop payments if GE owed Vineyard Wind money. 

Vineyard Wind claimed that the turbine manufacturer owed the wind farm $394 million due to the shoddy work that led to the turbine blade break and nearly two years of delays. 

Sixty-eight of the blades made by GE had to be replaced, and there were several other nonconformities that needed to be rectified, according to Vineyard Wind. 

During court hearings earlier this year, Vineyard Wind said that GE walking away could be fatal for the project. GE still needed to do final commissioning on turbines to get them to run at full power and GE was also supposed to oversee the turbine operations for the first five years. 

A judge had ruled that GE had to stay in the contract while the lawsuit in Suffolk County Superior Court was worked out. 

Vineyard Wind did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday on the status of the turbines and the future of GE working on the project. GE Vernova declined to comment further, deferring the Gazette to the written statement.

A federal investigation into the blade break is ongoing.
