Why did the Massachusetts judge refuse to lift the injunction requiring GE Vernova to continue work on the Vineyard Wind project?

Judge Peter Krupp refused to lift the injunction because nothing had changed since his April ruling, and Vineyard Wind remained contractually entitled to pursue its dispute in court for urgent relief; he emphasized that the project depends on GE Vernova's 'expertise and proprietary know-how to bring the turbines up to operational capacity,' and allowing GE Vernova to withdraw—with over 200 employees and subcontractors—would jeopardize the project's financing and commercial viability.

What is Vineyard Wind's stated justification for withholding $360 million from GE Vernova?

Vineyard Wind argues it is entitled to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars from GE Vernova's GE Renewables US LLC unit following a 2024 turbine blade collapse off Nantucket, which revealed a widespread manufacturing flaw causing two years of delays and requiring replacement of other blades.
