Offshore Wind

A federal judge has given the Trump administration the green light to revoke a key permit for SouthCoast Wind, a large proposed offshore wind project near Massachusetts.

For more than a decade, Massachusetts and several other New England states have been banking on a large expansion of offshore wind. Here's what's at stake if President Trump succeeds in halting the industry.

The Department of Energy said the $7.6 billion in canceled grants do not meet the Trump administration’s goals.

The order represents a rare — and, at least for now, temporary — win for the offshore wind industry, which has been a frequent target of the Trump administration.

The Trump administration asked a federal judge to allow it to revoke a key permit for SouthCoast Wind, a project that could power about 1.4 million homes in the region.

The Wednesday filing says the Trump administration's stop-work order caused "irreparable harm" to the states by "undermining their sovereign interests in procuring renewable energy."

The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued a stop-work order on Aug. 22.

Connecticut officials are reacting with frustration to the Trump administration’s recent order to stop construction on Revolution Wind, an offshore wind farm project that was poised to soon provide electricity to at least 350,000 homes in Connecticut and Rhode Island.

The Revolution Wind farm was slated to start sending power to homes and businesses in Rhode Island and Connecticut starting next year.
