PROVIDENCE, R.I. - January 1, 2026 - Today, Revolution Wind LLC ("Revolution Wind"), a 50/50 joint venture between
Global Infrastructure Partners' Skyborn Renewables and Ørsted, filed a supplemental complaint in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia challenging the lease suspension order issued on December 22, 2025 by the U.S.
Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), to be followed by a motion for a preliminary
injunction.
While Revolution Wind continues to seek to work constructively with the Administration and other stakeholders towards
an expeditious and durable resolution of this matter, it believes that the lease suspension order violates applicable
law. As was the case with the August 2025 stop-work order, the Revolution Wind Project ("Project") faces substantial
harm from a continuation of the lease suspension order. As a result, litigation is a necessary step to protect the
rights of the Project.
Revolution Wind secured all required federal and state permits in 2023, following extensive reviews that began more
than nine years ago. As a requirement of the permitting process, the Project engaged in years-long consultation with
the U.S Department of Defense [War] Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Siting Clearinghouse to address
potential impacts to national security and defense capabilities from construction through to operation of the Project.
Those consultations resulted in a fully executed formal agreement between the Department of War, the Department of the
Air Force, and Revolution Wind outlining mitigation measures by the Project.
Revolution Wind has spent and committed billions of dollars in reliance upon, and has met the requests of, a thorough
review process. Additional federal reviews and approvals included the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
National Marine Fisheries Service, and many other agencies.
Revolution Wind is in advanced stages of construction and is expected to be ready to deliver reliable, affordable power
to American homes in 2026. The Project, now approximately 87 percent complete, has already installed all offshore
foundations and 58 of 65 wind turbines. Export cable installation is complete, and both offshore substations have been
installed. At the time of the lease suspension order, the Project was expected to begin generating power as soon as
January 2026.
The Project will strengthen electric grid reliability as a critical part of the Northeast energy supply, which is
crucial to meeting growing energy demand. The Project is set to provide affordable power to more than 350,000 homes in
2026 under 20-year power purchase agreements with utilities in Connecticut and Rhode Island. This includes supporting
the growing power needs of data centers and AI, with experts including ISO-NE, the independent grid operator, warning
that halting the Project may increase electricity costs and lower reliability for the region.
Revolution Wind has supported thousands of American jobs across construction, operations, shipbuilding, and
manufacturing, including more than 1,000 union jobs that have already contributed 2 million union work hours to this
Project. The Project is a part of Ørsted's investment into American energy generation, grid upgrades, and port
infrastructure, as well as a supply chain, including U.S. shipbuilding and manufacturing extending to more than 40
states.
Sunrise Wind LLC, a separate project and wholly owned subsidiary of Ørsted that also received a lease suspension order
on December 22 continues to evaluate all options to resolve the matter, including engagement with relevant agencies and
stakeholders and considering legal proceedings.
