General Electric Co must double its patent royalty payments to Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy A/S for wind turbines it uses in a renewable energy project off the New Jersey coast, a Boston federal judge said Thursday.

Siemens Gamesa sued GE for patent infringement in Massachusetts in 2020 over GE's Haliade-X turbines. Youngin September that Siemens Gamesa's technology was a "key element" of the turbines' functionality, enabling them to have larger motors and lowering the chances that they fail.

A jury had awarded Siemens Gamesa a royalty rate of $30,000 per megawatt. Siemens Gamesa asked the court to triple the rate for the New Jersey project to $90,000 for total damages of $109.3 million, arguing GE's economic position had improved because the court had allowed the projects to continue.
