September 25, 2025 — In the ongoing struggle over the offshore wind industry in the United States, the Danish energy company Orsted has won the latest round, with a federal judge issuing a preliminary injunction on Monday allowing construction to resume on its Revolution Wind farm.
Revolution Wind, a 65-turbine installation situated in federal waters on the outer continental shelf adjacent to the 12-turbine South Fork Wind farm around 35 miles off Montauk Point, was the subject of an Aug. 7 stop-work order issued by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s acting director. The “director’s order” ordered a halt to “all ongoing activities related to the Revolution Wind project on the outer continental shelf to allow time for it to address concerns that have arisen during the review that the department is undertaking.”
