Turbine manufacturer GE Vernova said Sept. 20 that it will downsize its offshore efforts, after a reported $300 million third-quarter loss in its wind business overshadowed the marketing push of its top-line Haliade-X machine. A Haliade-X turbine lost a blade to fracture on the Vineyard Wind project off Massachusetts in July, following two other blade failures on projects in Europe. GE Vernova officials said the blade breakages were not due to design faults; the Vineyard Wind breakup was blamed on a manufacturing defect at a plant in Quebec. But GE Vernova said its planned pullback now could cost 900 production jobs. 收起
