Trump to Halt Development of Another Offshore Wind Farm

The Trump administration is working to halt development of an offshore wind project planned near Maryland, in the latest escalation of the president’s war on the clean energy source he loathes.

The Interior Department plans to move to remand and vacate a permit granted to the $6 billion Maryland Offshore Wind Project, according to a court filing dated Friday. The project — which is being developed by US Wind and will consist of as many as 114 wind turbines about 10 nautical miles off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland — was approved by the Biden administration in 2024 and was set to begin construction next year.
