Stock market today: S&P 500 hits fresh record close on stronger economic growth
Investing.com -- The Trump administration is working to stop the development of a $6 billion offshore wind project planned near Maryland, according to Bloomberg, citing a court filing dated Friday.
The Interior Department intends to remand and vacate a permit previously granted to the Maryland Offshore Wind Project, which was approved by the Biden administration in 2024. The project was set to begin construction next year and would consist of up to 114 wind turbines located approximately 10 nautical miles off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland.
Nancy Sopko, US Wind’s vice president of external affairs, responded in a statement: "We remain confident that the federal permits we secured after a multi-year and rigorous public review process are legally sound."
On Friday, the Interior Department also halted work on an offshore wind farm being built off Rhode Island’s coast by Denmark’s Orsted A/S, which was already 80% complete.
