Orsted Wins Ruling to Resume US Wind Project Halted by Trump

A US judge ruled Orsted A/S can resume building a wind farm project off the coast of Rhode Island while it challenges the government’s latest stop-work order, a major win for the Danish energy giant in an ongoing fight with the Trump administration over renewable energy.

The Revolution Wind project, intended to power hundreds of thousands of homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut, “would be irreparably harmed” unless work was allowed to continue during the legal fight, US District Judge Royce C. Lamberth in Washington concluded Monday. The project is almost 90% complete.
