September 22, 2025 (Boston MA) – A federal judge has ruled that Revolution Wind can continue construction after the Trump administration issued a stop work order for the offshore wind project. Revolution Wind is a fully-permitted offshore wind project that is 80 percent complete and on the cusp of delivering clean, affordable power to more than 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
“This ruling confirms what we’ve known all along – that the Trump administration’s attempt to stop Revolution Wind is not only a violation of the law but a dramatic overreach,” said Kate Sinding Daly, senior vice president for law and policy at Conservation Law Foundation. “The court’s decision restores momentum toward bringing clean, local power to New England, strengthening our energy security, and supporting thousands of jobs across the region. We applaud the court for upholding the rule of law and rejecting a reckless attempt to sabotage clean energy progress that will slash bills and toxic pollution.”
The ruling means that progress on the project can continue while the lawsuit challenging the stop work order plays out in court. Revolution Wind said it will resume impacted construction work as soon as possible.
