US EditionJudge allows wind farm halted by Trump to resume construction
Federal judge blocks Trump administration's stop-work order, allowing the $5 billion, 80%-complete Revolution Wind project to resume and support over 2,500 jobs in clean energy sectors.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth granted a preliminary injunction allowing Revolution Wind to resume work, and Orsted said construction will resume as soon as possible.
- BOEM issued a stop-work order on August 22, saying the pause addresses national security concerns under President Donald Trump's Jan. 20 executive order.
- Revolution Wind is already about 80% complete, with 45 of 65 turbines installed, more than 1,000 workers onsite, and about $5 billion invested while losses exceed at least $2.3 million a day.
- The injunction allows hundreds of working households to return to construction while Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha called the ruling a major win for workers and families.
- The project is slated for completion in 2026 and will deliver 704 megawatts, enough to power about 350,000 homes, while the U.S. Interior Department continues reviewing other offshore projects and permits.
