Trump Administration Challenges Offshore Wind Permits Amid State Pushback and Construction Resumptions

In late November and early December 2025, the Trump administration announced plans to delay approvals of New England Wind projects off the coast of Massachusetts, creating a further cloud of uncertainty around the US offshore wind sector. New York retaliated by fast-tracking $300 million in port funding and Revolution Wind off Connecticut is back to work after a federal halt. However, in the U.S. this sector is now very much moving forward, though it faces potential delays for its most critical projects.
