In a rare win for offshore wind under the Trump administration, a U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia judge granted a stay and preliminary injunction for the Revolution Wind offshore wind project for a stop-work order issued at the end of August.
“Revolution Wind will continue to seek to work collaboratively with the US Administration and other stakeholders toward a prompt resolution,” a press release from Ørsted stated.
Revolution Wind is a subsidiary of Ørsted and part of a 50/50 joint venture with Global Infrastructure Partner’s Skyborn Renewables to construct the offshore wind farm.
The project, which was around 80 percent complete when the stop-work order was issued, promises to power at full capacity 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
“Trump is creating a huge amount of regulatory uncertainty, not just within the offshore wind industry, but the whole supply chain that supports it,” she added.
