Greenpeace Ordered to Pay $345M Over Pipeline Protests
Judge James Gion reduced the jury’s $667 million award to $345 million in damages for Greenpeace’s role in 2016–2017 Dakota Access pipeline protests.
- The North Dakota judge said he will sign an order requiring Greenpeace USA, Greenpeace International, and Greenpeace Fund Inc. to pay $345 million, as filed Tuesday.
- The dispute traces to protests nearly a decade ago near the Missouri River crossing, where thousands camped opposing the Dakota Access pipeline, prompting Energy Transfer to sue.
- A nine-person jury found Greenpeace USA liable and awarded $666.9 million, with the group's share at $404 million, as Judge Gion plans to sign the order.
- Greenpeace USA said it cannot pay the judgment and plans to appeal, citing it has reported $1.4 million in cash and $23 million in assets as of last year.
- Greenpeace contends the lawsuit aims to silence activists, and its attorneys say the organization had little involvement, while Energy Transfer says the case is about legal compliance and will appeal.
