A coalition of 19 attorneys general has moved to intervene in a lawsuit against the US Department of Defense (DoD) and Secretary Pete Hegseth over the agency's suspension of reviews for land-based wind energy projects. The coalition argues that federal law requires the DoD to review proposed wind projects for potential national security impacts and work with developers to resolve any concerns. However, since August 2025, the DoD has halted routine reviews, effectively preventing the development of onshore wind projects across the USA.

Wind energy remained Spain's largest source of electricity in 2025 and continues to be one of the country's key industrial sectors, supporting more than 37,000 jobs and a complete domestic supply chain. However, the industry says the pace of new installations remains too slow to meet national energy transition targets and is calling for faster permitting, increased repowering, expanded electricity networks and more energy storage.

The European Commission has approved a French state aid scheme to support offshore wind energy under the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF), adopted on 25 June 2025. The scheme will support the construction and operation of 11 offshore wind farms in the North Sea, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Together, the projects are expected to provide up to 11.1 GW of installed capacity and generate up to 47.8 TWh of renewable electricity annually, equivalent to around 10.6% of France's annual electricity consumption.
