By Mark Chediak and Jennifer A. Dlouhy (Bloomberg) — The Trump administration told a federal court it intends to reconsider a key US government approval that authorized the construction of Equinor ASA’s planned second phase of an offshore wind project near New York and New Jersey. The government said its plan is consistent with a broad offshore wind review Trump ordered just hours after his January inauguration. However, an Equinor executive said on Bloomberg TV in July that the Norwegian company is unlikely to pursue the Empire Wind 2 project, which hasn’t started construction, because of regulatory changes in the US. The US filing was focused on Empire Wind 2, and the government didn’t outline any plans to similarly review key permits for the nearly built Empire Wind 1 venture. Although the Trump administration briefly halted construction on Empire Wind 1 earlier this year, it allowed work to resume after Governor Kathy Hochul signaled New York wouldn’t stand in the way of new energy projects.
