Wind turbine blades issue at Vineyard Wind project leads to blade replacements, delays, and environmental impact assessment.

GE Vernova has identified issues with wind turbine blades at the Vineyard Wind project, following a July incident where a blade shattered off Nantucket, scattering debris into the ocean. The company will remove or reinforce blades due to manufacturing flaws. The $4 billion project aims to supply power to 400,000 homes but has faced delays. Federal regulators are requiring an environmental impact assessment before operations can fully resume.
