Federal Scrutiny Update

The U.S. Department of Interior has scrutinized several previously permitted offshore wind projects. Projects under scrutiny are displayed with an orange circle (see left). Click on a project to learn more.

On December 22, 2025, the Department of the Interior paused the leases and issued stop-work orders to five projects off the East Coast due to unspecified national security concerns. All five projects—Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, Empire Wind, Revolution Wind, Sunrise Wind, and Vineyard Wind—have been granted temporary permission to resume construction after filing complaints against Interior in federal court.
