The administration of US President Donald Trump plans to withdraw federal approval for US Wind’s 2.2GW offshore wind farm off the coast of Maryland, according to a filing in the US District Court in Delaware. Department of Justice attorneys asked the court to stay a lawsuit challenging the Interior Department’s approval of the Maryland Offshore Wind Project. They said the agency would move to vacate the facility’s construction and operations plan by September 12.

A review by the Sun Day Campaign of data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that wind and solar together provided just over 20% of U.S. electricity during the first six months of 2025. In total, renewables accounted for nearly 28% of generation. Wind remained a central source of renewable power. Turbines generated 11.6% of U.S. electricity between January and June, a 2.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Output from wind was nearly twice that of hydropower and continues to play a key role in reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

The shortage of skilled labour is putting the expansion of renewable energy in Germany at risk, including offshore wind power. According to a recent model calculation by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), around 157,000 additional workers will be needed by 2030 to deliver the energy transition. A further 40,000 will be required for climate adaptation measures.
