In what amounts to a devastating blow to the development of this type of renewable energy in the nation, the Trump administration suspended leases on five huge offshore wind energy projects off the US East Coast, including the one led by Iberdrola in Massachusetts.

The Department of Defense "is stopping, successful immediately, the contract agreements for all projects" The office said in a declaration that it is suspending large onshore wind projects that are currently being constructed in the United States because of concerns raised by the Department of Defense in recently released classified reports. What "national security risks" are those that were no more described in the statement. Trump's order was completely improper, according to Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who tweeted that it was "out of power. " Nearly all of our Connecticut job has been completed. And now we're going back to court to halt yet another improper order for the next time. Trump's complaint read," All he's doing is destroying careers and raising energy rates. " The other four affected projects are Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind in Rhode Island, CVOW – Commercial near Virginia, and Empire Wind 1 off the coast of New York, which has had the involvement of the Spanish architecture firm Esteyco, along with Vineyard Wind 1, which is being developed by Iberdrola off the coast of Massachusetts, which is already half operating.

Vineyard Wind 1 is projected to have a combined generating capacity of more than 800 megawatts, with around$ 3. 5 billion in dedicated funding and capital raised so far.

The decision, which revokes the leases that the Joe Biden administration ( 2021-2025 ) granted, raises billions of dollars in investments and the uncertainty surrounding the East Coast's future of this type of energy. This area had heavily invested in onshore wind energy initiatives and anticipated that more than 2. 5 million homes would be fueled by these developments. Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized weather energy, saying it pollutes the environment or has negative effects on animal communities, since taking office in January.
