Three energy developers are in court this week challenging the Trump administration’s freeze of their offshore wind projects, while President Donald Trump says his goal is to not let any “windmills” be built.
Danish energy company Orsted, Norwegian company Equinor, and Dominion Energy Virginia each sued to ask the courts to vacate and set aside the administration’s Dec. 22 order to freeze five big projects on the East Coast over national security concerns. Orsted’s hearing is first, scheduled for Monday on its Revolution Wind project. Orsted is building Revolution Wind with partner Skyborn Renewables to provide power to Rhode Island and Connecticut.
