As of September 17, 2025, the attorneys general for Connecticut and Rhode Island requested an injunction to lift the Trump administration’s stop-work order for the 700-MW Revolution Wind project, which is 80% complete. [1] In their complaint filed with the federal district court of Rhode Island, the states said that the project has been vetted through every layer of the federal and state regulatory process, yet the federal government has “arbitrarily reversed course and issued a Stop Work Order without explanation.” [2] The lawsuit is similar to one filed by Revolution Wind in Washington DC, also seeking an injunction. In response to that request, the Trump administration had replied saying that the fact that Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) previously “approved Revolution Wind’s [construction and operations plan] does not eliminate the Secretary’s authority for continued oversight.” The states have emphasized that the project’s supportive infrastructure is also far along with 90% of physical construction at the mainland interconnection site “substantially completed.”
