1. Trump admin ‘pauses’ leases for five offshore wind projects already under construction
The Trump administration's Department of the Interior has abruptly halted five major offshore wind projects currently under construction, citing national security risks from potential radar interference. This sudden pause on key East Coast projects like Vineyard Wind 1 and CVOW introduces significant uncertainty for the U.S. renewable energy industry. Developers are contesting the decision, arguing the projects are vital for both energy production and national security.
2. US to install 36% more wind turbines in 2025 than previous year
The U.S. wind energy sector is poised for significant growth, with a projected 36% increase in installations in 2025, adding over 7 GW of new capacity.
