4 of the 5 Wind Power Projects Stopped by Trump in December Have Resumed Work - CleanTechnica

A U.S. District Court judge in Massachusetts has ruled that the Vineyard Wind offshore wind project may resume construction, overturning a December 2025 stop work order issued by the Trump administration’s Department of Interior. Vineyard Wind, the nation’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm, is already supplying power locally and, when completed, will feature 62 turbines capable of generating enough clean energy to power 400,000 homes. This decision follows similar rulings allowing work to continue on four other nearly completed offshore wind projects that had also been halted by the Trump administration. Environmental advocates, including the Sierra Club, have praised the court rulings as victories for clean energy and public health, emphasizing the importance of completing these projects to provide affordable, reliable, and pollution-free power. The Sierra Club highlights offshore wind’s role in lowering energy bills, creating jobs, and improving air quality, particularly along the East Coast. The only remaining halted project, Sunrise Wind, is scheduled for a hearing in February 2026.
