Vineyard Wind sued GE Renewables in Boston court alleging breach of contract and seeking an injunction to stop GE from abandoning turbine supply, commissioning and maintenance work by April 28. GE issued a termination notice citing over $300 million in unpaid bills, while Vineyard Wind says GE owes it more than $800 million for delays and losses from a 2024 blade failure and may therefore withhold payments. Vineyard Wind warns that GE’s exit would likely prevent the 62-turbine, $4.5 billion project from reaching full output, risk lender defaults on $2 billion of loans and leave the wind farm inoperable. GE says it exercised contractual rights for non-payment and will defend its position; a hearing is scheduled April 16 and GE must respond by April 15. » More on finance.yahoo.com
