The developer of an offshore wind farm that would power 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut sued the Trump administration on Thursday for halting its construction.
Danish energy company Orsted said it filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia arguing that the administration lacks the legal authority to block the Revolution Wind project. Orsted said it would seek a preliminary injunction that would allow it to move forward with the project, which is 80% complete, with all underwater foundations and 45 of 65 turbines installed.
