Wind Energy – Vineyard Wind
Vineyard Wind and GE Vernova recently said that U.S. safety officials have allowed them to resume limited construction on an offshore wind farm off the Massachusetts coast where a turbine blade shattered last month.
Vineyard Wind and Denmark’s Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, was ordered to stop power production and construction after a blade broke apart on July 13 and sent pieces of fiberglass into the water that washed up on nearby beaches.
In a joint statement, the project developer and turbine maker said they are now able to install towers and nacelles, the portion of a turbine that houses generating components, according to a new order from the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).
