A North Dakota judge cut Greenpeace’s pipeline lawsuit damages to $345 million, citing weak evidence and duplicate claims.
A North Dakota judge reduced Greenpeace’s damages in a pipeline lawsuit to $345 million, halving the original $667 million jury award.
The case, tied to 2016–2017 protests near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, involved claims of defamation, conspiracy, and trespass by Energy Transfer.
The judge cut the award due to duplicative claims and insufficient evidence, while dismissing some counts.
Energy Transfer plans to appeal, calling the verdict just, while Greenpeace says the ruling threatens free speech and plans to seek a new trial.
The trial concluded in 2025, and the judge also allowed Greenpeace’s separate anti-intimidation case in the Netherlands to proceed.
