GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik told investors Wednesday that there was a "manufacturing deviation" in the Vineyard Wind blade that broke off and fell into the ocean.

The Trustees of Reservations reported Friday that potential debris had come ashore on Wasque and the nonprofit was working with the offshore wind energy company to retrieve any pieces of the broken fiberglass. 

Federal regulators have shut down Vineyard Wind while they investigate what caused a 107-meter turbine blade to break and spill fiberglass into the ocean.

The Vineyard Wind project has been shut down indefinitely while federal regulators investigate how a 107-meter blade folded over, spilling white and green fiberglass debris into the ocean.

Offshore wind energy projects continue to progress in the waters south of the Vineyard, with two new wind farms approved and construction starting on a third.  

Vineyard Wind is putting the final touches on its two-story, 14,000-square foot operations and maintenance headquarters on Beach Road in Vineyard Haven.

In a 36-page opinion Wednesday, a panel of judges with the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals denied the ACK for Whales group claim, which sought to halt the project currently being constructed about 14 miles to the Vineyard’s south.

Avangrid, Ocean Winds, Orsted and Vineyard Offshore all submitted plans Wednesday for farms in the 800,000 square-acre area off the Vineyard. Together, the proposals amount to more than 5,000 megawatts of power.

Vineyard Wind’s plans to build an observation tower next to the Tisbury Marine Terminal on Beach Road have been swapped out in favor of helping to fund a new public park and beach area. 

Vineyard Wind parent company Avangrid announced the opening of applications for its fisheries compensation fund, a pot of money available to fishermen who have operated in waters where 62 offshore wind turbines are currently being constructed.
