image for US judge allows last of five offshore wind projects halted by Trump to proceed

All five offshore wind projects halted by the Trump administration in December can resume construction after a federal judge’s ruling on Monday that cleared Denmark’s Ørsted to proceed with its Sunrise Wind project off the coast of New York.

Ørsted’s request for an injunction blocking the interior department order was the fifth brought by an offshore wind developer since the 22 December pause on five leases.

The agency stopped work on the multibillion-dollar facilities due to national security concerns around radar interference.

Ørsted said in a statement it would resume work immediately but continue with the underlying lawsuit challenging the interior department’s stop-work order.

Ørsted has spent or committed more than $7bn to date to build Sunrise Wind, the company said.

Offshore wind developers have faced repeated disruptions under Donald Trump, who has said he finds wind turbines ugly, expensive and inefficient.

Sunrise Wind is located 30 miles (48km) east of Long Island, New York, and is about 45% complete, according to Ørsted. »
