US Federal Court Clears Revolution Wind To Resume Construction As Ørsted, Skyborn’s Lawsuit Against Stop-Work Orders Progresses

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the sub-heading.

The US District Court for the District of Columbia has granted the preliminary injunction sought by the joint venture between Ørsted and Skyborn Renewables for the Revolution Wind project, which was ordered to pause construction by the US government. When the stop-work order was issued on 22 December 2025, the 704 MW project had seven wind turbines left to install.

This paragraph adds more detail.

The underlying lawsuit that the Revolution Wind joint venture filed against the first stop-work order issued for the offshore wind farm on 22 August 2025, which was supplemented to also challenge the 22 December 2025 order, continues to progress in the court, while the preliminary injunction will allow the construction activities to restart immediately.

Note.

1. Ørsted said on the 12th January 2026, that they would resume work as soon as practically possible.
2. Ørsted have also said that the project is approximately 87 per cent complete and was expected to begin generating power this month.
3. In New York Attorney General Files Lawsuits Against Trump Admin’s Stop-Work Orders For Empire Wind, Sunrise Wind, Trump is also facing a second legal action over offshore wind.

It does seem that we are seeing what happens, when the irresistible force that is Trump meets the immovable force, that is United States law.
