Nantucket settled with GE Vernova for $10.5M after a 300-foot turbine blade from the Vineyard Wind offshore project broke off last summer, scattering debris across the island. (Nantucket Current)
Vineyard Wind didn’t sign the deal but is indemnified by GE. Town officials said the wind farm “did not earn a seat at the table” and left key obligations from its 2020 Good Neighbor Agreement unmet.
What’s next: Nantucket will launch a community claims fund to compensate local businesses. Town officials called GE a “responsible partner,” but slammed Vineyard for poor communication and follow-through.
