Today, State Senator Norm Needleman (D-Essex), Senate Chair of the Energy and Technology Committee, issued the following statement in response to a federal judge lifting a stop-work order filed against the Revolution Wind off-shore wind project off the coast of Connecticut, the first ruling since the Trump administration sought the stop of all work on the project in late August. The lifted order came after the U.S. District Court judge said the government provided no new information to justify the stop-work order:
“I am glad to hear the judge in this case came to a common sense ruling so the Revolution Wind project can continue. This decision will allow hundreds of skilled workers to get back to work on this vital project for the New England region, which was fully permitted and 80% complete before the stop-work order was issued. Once online, this project will generate more than 2% of the power for the entire New England power grid; it represents regional energy stability.”
