Orsted sues Trump administration over suspension of $5B Revolution Wind project, citing breach of contract and national security concerns.

Danish renewable energy company Orsted has sued the Trump administration over the suspension of the $5 billion Revolution Wind offshore project, 87% complete and near completion off Rhode Island. The suspension, citing national security concerns about radar interference, halted leases for five East Coast wind projects on December 22. Orsted argues the move violates contractual obligations, undermines regulatory processes, and causes substantial harm, having already spent or committed $5 billion. The company seeks a court injunction to reverse the decision. The action follows a 13% drop in Orsted’s stock and draws criticism from lawmakers and industry leaders who call the suspension unjustified. The outcome could shape future offshore wind development in U.S. waters.
