Overview

• U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth issued a preliminary injunction that lets Ørsted and Skyborn Renewables restart construction while the case moves forward.
• BOEM’s Aug. 22 stop‑work order referenced unspecified national security concerns and alleged lapses in required coordination with the Navy and NOAA.
• Revolution Wind is a 704‑megawatt project about 80% complete, with 45 of 65 turbines installed and expected to power roughly 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
• Lamberth highlighted losses of roughly $2.3 million per day and warned that missing December vessel availability could delay remaining work until 2028.
• Rhode Island and Connecticut have separately sued to overturn the halt, as the administration reassesses offshore wind approvals and the industry faces heightened uncertainty.
