A major offshore wind farm is allowed to resume construction, a federal judge ruled Thursday, the second such ruling in the wake of the Trump administration’s latest attempt to block these projects.
Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, granted a preliminary injunction allowing Empire Wind to keep building.
The project, which would supply power to New York, was one of five that were halted by the Trump administration in December. Another, Revolution Wind, was also allowed to move forward in court this week.
Empire Wind said in a written statement that it would “now focus on safely restarting construction activities that were halted.” The project would provide enough power for up to 500,000 homes, according to its website. The court’s decision allows construction to resume while the underlying case against the Trump order plays out.
