The Danish offshore wind developer Orsted, and the states of Rhode Island and Connecticut, have announced lawsuits against US president Donald Trump’s administration, alleging its decision to block construction of the nearly finished Revolution Wind project is illegal.
The separate complaints are the latest twist in a saga that started last month when US officials issued a stop-work order to Revolution Wind, citing unspecified national security concerns. The order forced the suspension of a project that was 80pc complete with all offshore foundations in place and 45 out of 65 wind turbines installed.
