Revolution Wind on Thursday filed a legal challenge to the Trump administration’s order to suspend work on five major offshore wind projects currently under construction.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, challenges what is now the second time the Trump administration has targeted Revolution Wind’s project, a joint venture between Skyborn Renewables and Ørsted. The administration in August issued a stop-work order for the project off the coasts of Rhode Island and Connecticut, although that was effectively lifted by a federal judge.
The companies said in a statement that while Revolution Wind “continues to seek to work constructively” with the administration and others toward a resolution, it believes that the lease suspension order violates the law.
“As was the case with the August 2025 stop-work order,” the Revolution Wind project “faces substantial harm from a continuation of the lease suspension order,” the statement said, making litigation “a necessary step to protect the rights of the Project.”
