The president’s order has no immediate effect on offshore wind leases already authorized, including two large areas off California’s coast. But it sends a current of uncertainty through the fledgling renewable energy industry,

In a sweeping order, President Trump halted federal approvals for new wind farms, in a move that could affect projects on land and in the ocean.

With President Trump's executive actions, some wind projects off the Massachusetts coast, such as the SouthCoast wind project, could be dead in the water.

With wind energy facing a deep freeze from Washington, Gov. Hochul’s call for advancing nuclear power may prove crucial for the state to hit climate targets while courting energy-hungry high tech, experts said.

By Stine Jacobsen COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Shares in European wind power companies fell on Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump suspended offshore leasing for wind on his first day in office, adding to pain in an industry that had turned to the U.

Maine, meanwhile, is mired in a long-running debate over where to develop an offshore wind port — Mack Point, an existing industrial port in Searsport, or adjacent Sears Island, an undeveloped state-owned island linked by a causeway.

“We are proud to announce [Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s] final approval of the SouthCoast Wind project, the nation’s eleventh commercial-scale offshore wind energy project, which will power more than 840,000 homes,” Elizabeth Klein, director of BOEM, said in a statement.

The project, set to begin construction in the second half of 2026, is expected to commence commercial operations by late 2029.

The first Trump administration lost more than three-quarters of the court cases against its regulatory actions, according to New York University’s Institute for Policy Integrity. Many of those cases were brought by state attorneys general, including New York’s.
