US EditionTrump administration plans to cancel approval of Maryland offshore wind project
The Trump Administration plans to revoke US Wind's $6 billion offshore wind project permit citing national security concerns, amid ongoing legal disputes and permit appeals.
- On Aug. 22, the Trump administration filed in U.S. District Court in Delaware to withdraw federal approval for US Wind's offshore project, with the Interior Department planning to vacate approval by Sept. 12.
- The Department of Commerce recently opened a national security probe and the Interior Department halted the 80%-complete Revolution Wind project, while the Biden administration approved US Wind last year.
- The project spans 80,000 acres leased by US Wind off Maryland-Delaware coast, with a $6 billion permit for 114 turbines about 10 nautical miles off Ocean City, expected to power 718,000 homes.
- Department of Justice attorneys asked the court to stay the lawsuit while the administration withdraws approval, with Bondi arguing this would moot the Sussex County complaint; ISO-New England warned Monday of grid risks, and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore cited a $1 billion investment loss.
- The filing sets a timetable to file a voluntary remand on Sept. 12 and allow other parties to challenge before Oct. 13, with a government reply due by Nov. 12; US Wind plans no offshore construction until 2028 even if Maryland court denies withdrawal.
