NEW YORK: Orsted A/S will resume work on its nearly-completed wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island after a US judge ruled construction can continue during a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s stop-work order, a major win for the beleaguered Danish energy giant.
A federal judge in Washington agreed on Monday that the Revolution Wind project, intended to power hundreds of thousands of homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut, could suffer “irreparable harm” unless construction was allowed to continue for now.
