Construction on a U.S. offshore wind project has resumed after a federal judge ruled that Denmark's Orsted may move forward, even as the Trump administration’s broader legal effort to permanently block the project remains ongoing.
The ruling, handed down on Monday, is a legal setback for President Donald Trump . Attorneys for the administration had argued that the project, located 15 miles off the coast of Rhode Island, failed to comply with some conditions of its permit.
A stop-work order was issued on August 22 for Revolution Wind by the U.S. Bureau of Energy Management. Revolution Wind was 80% complete with all offshore foundations in place and 45 of 65 wind turbines installed at the time.
