Offshore windmill blade length of football field breaks off into ocean off the coast of Nantucket

“Approximately half of the fiberglass shell of the blade remains attached, while most of the foam fill dislodged during the initial failure last Saturday,” Nantucket, Massachusetts, officials said in an update posted on the town’s website. “Monitoring of the remaining attached piece is ongoing, and a plan is being developed for its removal.”

Vineyard Wind is working with the Coast Guard to maintain a safety zone of 500 meters around the affected offshore turbine. The blade, known as the GE Vernova blade, is made out of nontoxic fiberglass, and it was washing up onshore in pieces that were 1 square foot or less. This is the second time this year that a GE Vernova blade has broken apart. Earlier this year, a GE Vernova offshore wind turbine came apart at the Dogger Bank A project off the coast of the United Kingdom.
