Court Clears Dominion To Resume Offshore Wind
A federal judge on Friday cleared Dominion Energy to resume construction on its $11.2 billion Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project while the company's lawsuit against the Interior Department proceeds. The court found Interior's December stop-work order, prompted by classified radar-related national security concerns, was overly broad and targeted operations rather than construction. The decision, following similar rulings for Orsted and Equinor, could preserve billions invested.
Key Points
- 1Judge allows Dominion to restart $11.2 billion Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind construction immediately
- 2Interior's pause cited classified radar-security risks, but court found stop-work order overly broad
- 3Resumption protects nearly $9 billion investment and could enable powering 600,000 homes soon
Scoring Rationale
