"Revolution Wind has "demonstrated likelihood of success on the merits of its underlying claims" and is is "likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction," Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said in a Monday order. Catch up quick: It's one of five under-construction wind projects off the Atlantic Coast that Trump administration officials halted last month, citing classified national security risks."
""The Project will resume construction work as soon as possible, with safety as the top priority, and to deliver affordable, reliable power to the Northeast," Ørsted said in a statement Monday. "Today's ruling reaffirms what was already clear. The Trump administration's second attempt to halt the Revolution Wind project is driven by the president's longstanding personal vendetta against offshore wind, not any genuine national security concerns," Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.) said in a statement."
Judge Royce Lamberth found Revolution Wind likely to succeed on the merits and likely to suffer irreparable harm without an injunction. The order permits Revolution Wind to resume construction after an administration pause. Revolution Wind is one of five Atlantic Coast projects paused last month over classified national security concerns. Ørsted said the project will resume construction as soon as possible with safety as the top priority and to deliver affordable, reliable power to the Northeast. The White House criticized offshore wind costs, while Rep. Joe Courtney called the halt a political vendetta. Court battles continue, including for Ørsted's Sunrise Wind.
