The Donald Trump administration is pushing to review approvals for a major offshore wind power project that has already started supplying electricity. After courts blocked two earlier attempts to halt construction, a third legal fight is expected.

Electrek reported on Oct. 14 that the U.S. Interior Department asked a federal court on Oct. 9 to send the case back to the agency so it can review approval of Revolution Wind's construction and operations plan.

Revolution Wind is a $6.2 billion offshore wind project being developed off the coast of Rhode Island. It has a total generation capacity of 704 megawatts and completed the installation of 65 wind turbines in September.

It has supplied power to the New England region since March 13 and is set to enter full commercial operation within this year. Once completed, it will produce enough electricity for about 350,000 households and businesses.

The request for a review stems from a lawsuit filed in 2024 by the anti-wind group Green Oceans. The Interior Department says it needs to examine again whether the approval process sufficiently reviewed impacts on other ocean uses, including fishing and leisure activities.

The Trump administration earlier sought to halt construction in August and December 2025, citing national security issues and other reasons. Courts repeatedly allowed work to resume, and the project continued.

Connecticut pushed back, saying the move undermines power supply stability and investment predictability. Governor Ned Lamont (네드 라몬트) said it also contradicts the administration's earlier policy of shortening permitting procedures.

Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection estimated the project would cut annual costs in the New England wholesale power market by about $500 million, or about 673.8 billion won, through 2028.

The request alone does not cancel the existing permit or halt power generation. Depending on the court's decision, legal uncertainty could grow over the project's operations and whether its approvals remain in place.
