Yet another judge rejects Trump effort to block offshore wind
- A federal judge ruled that Sunrise Wind can resume construction after a pause ordered by the prior administration.
- Judge Royce Lamberth found the government did not show offshore wind posed an imminent national security risk.
- Sunrise Wind is roughly 45% complete and expected to be operational next year.
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul called the ruling a big win for the state’s energy future.
- The ruling could impact other offshore wind projects approved to restart across the East Coast.
- The pause on offshore wind had caused cost concerns for developers and uncertainty for future projects.
- The Sunrise Wind project would generate about 924 megawatts of power.
- The ruling follows the Trump administration's pause on five offshore wind projects last December.
- New York officials say the pause threatened the state's energy grid and economy.
- Danish company Ørsted and other partners are involved in related wind projects subject to the court rulings.
