GE Vernova identifies manufacturing issue as cause of turbine blade failure at Vineyard Wind offshore project in Massachusetts, leading to project shutdown.

GE Vernova, an independent power services firm, attributed a turbine blade failure at its Vineyard Wind offshore project in Massachusetts to a manufacturing issue. The company confirmed no engineering design flaws and will re-inspect all offshore wind blades for potential defects. A broken turbine blade washed up on a Nantucket beach in July, leading to a project shutdown by U.S. authorities. GE Vernova reported a 1% rise in second-quarter revenue to $8.2 billion and a quarterly profit for the first time as a standalone company.
