Nantucket officials this week raised the possibility of suing Vineyard Wind due to poor communication, continued light pollution and lack of planning for future emergencies at the offshore wind energy farm. 

The town of Nantucket this week scored a multi-million dollar settlement agreement to compensate the town and businesses that were affected by the broken Vineyard Wind turbine blade that spread fiberglass and foam across the island’s south shore beaches last summer. 

The town and county of Nantucket have filed a legal challenge over the approval process for SouthCoast Wind, a 141-turbine offshore wind energy project planned for the waters south of the island.

A week after debris from the broken Vineyard Wind turbine washed up on Edgartown beaches, state officials said they are investigating potential harm to the region’s seafood but don’t see a need to immediately stop eating shellfish.

Though pieces of the broken Vineyard Wind turbine continued to fall into the ocean south of the Island this week, federal regulators have approved the wind farm to lay cables.

GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik told investors Wednesday that there was a "manufacturing deviation" in the Vineyard Wind blade that broke off and fell into the ocean.
