Overview

• Revolution Wind filed a complaint in U.S. District Court on Sept. 4 and says it will seek a preliminary injunction to overturn the halt.
• BOEM ordered all work stopped in August on the offshore wind farm off Rhode Island, citing national security.
• Developers say the project is roughly 80% complete with all foundations in place, 45 of 65 turbines installed, the export cable nearly finished, and the onshore substation about 90% built.
• Ørsted and Skyborn, along with the states of Rhode Island and Connecticut, have filed separate lawsuits challenging the stoppage.
• Energy secretary Chris Wright said there is a “very active dialogue” within the administration about the project's future, and ISO New England has warned that delays could increase reliability risks.
