As of January 12, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted the preliminary injunction sought by Revolution Wind regarding the December 2025 suspension order issued by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). [1] The injunction allows construction to resume at Revolution Wind, marking the second time such a suspension order was overturned. In September 2025, Judge Royce Lamberth rejected the Interior’s claim that the project constituted a threat to national security, referring to it as the height of “arbitrary and capricious action.” The Interior issued a second stop-work order to Revolution Wind in December, citing a new classified report by the Department of Defense that asserted turbines could disrupt military radar. In his ruling, Lamberth stated that the government had failed to explain why this new information warranted a halt to construction, calling it an “unreasonable and seemingly unjustified” change in position. He explained that “the balance of equity is clearly cut in favor of Revolution Wind continuing work while the government considers ways to mitigate any new national security concerns that the project may implicate.” Revolution Wind is slated to begin commercial operations next year.
