Federal judge lifts Trump administration’s halt of nearly complete offshore wind farm in New England

More than 1,000 people have been working on the wind farm, which is 80% complete.
His administration has stopped construction on major offshore wind farms, revoked wind energy permits and paused permitting, canceled plans to use large areas of federal waters for new offshore wind development and stopped $679 million in federal funding for a dozen offshore wind projects.
Last week, the administration moved to block a separate Massachusetts offshore wind farm.
That was just days after the Interior Department asked a federal judge in Baltimore to cancel previous approval to build an offshore wind project in Maryland.
Rhode Island is already home to one offshore wind farm, the five-turbine Block Island Wind Farm.
