Vineyard Wind Takes Federal Government to Court - The Martha's Vineyard Times
Vineyard Wind 1 seeks to lift a 90-day federal suspension citing $4.5 billion invested, 44 turbines operating, and risking $2 million daily losses and 750 jobs.
- On Thursday, Vineyard Wind filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, alleging BOEM's suspension was unlawful and an abuse of authority.
- On Dec. 22, 2025, BOEM ordered a 90-day pause after citing new classified Department of Defense information alleging turbines pose a national-security risk, halting five East Coast offshore wind leases despite prior DoD clearance.
- Vineyard Wind says it has invested $4.5 billion and is losing about $2 million daily, warning a 90-day pause risks a specialized installation vessel contract through March 31, 2026 and 750 jobs.
- ISO-New England warned that delays will raise costs and risk reliability, and federal judges have allowed Empire Wind and Revolution Wind to resume construction amid a legal pileup over Interior's suspension.
- Beyond one project, the pause threatens investor confidence and grid resilience, as multi-billion-dollar offshore wind projects spent nearly a decade clearing federal reviews and coordinating with the Department of Defense.
