Overview
- Ørsted/Skyborn, Equinor and Dominion filed lawsuits seeking preliminary injunctions to keep building, with a federal judge in Virginia setting a 2 p.m. Monday hearing on Dominion’s request for a temporary restraining order.
- Rhode Island and Connecticut attorneys general moved to consolidate their case with Revolution Wind’s suit and to join the developers’ new injunction bid, with a hearing scheduled in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 12.
- The Dec. 22 order imposes a 90‑day suspension tied to classified Pentagon assessments and covers Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, Vineyard Wind 1, Revolution Wind, Empire Wind (1 and 2) and Sunrise Wind, representing about 6 GW and roughly $25 billion in projects.
- Revolution Wind reports being about 87% built with 58 of 65 turbines installed and estimates losses of $1.44 million per day, while Empire Wind 1 and Coastal Virginia are each around 60% complete, with Dominion citing $5 million in daily costs.
- Vineyard Wind 1 may continue activities needed for its current level of power generation, though broader construction remains on hold, and Massachusetts now targets June 30 for contract execution with filings by Aug. 31, 2026.
