The US Department of Justice has asked a federal court to return the approval of the Revolution Wind offshore wind farm’s construction and operations plan to the Department of the Interior for reconsideration. The request concerns the approval of the project’s construction and operations plan. It seeks to reopen the federal approval process rather than revoke the permit directly.
The Department of the Interior said the approval should be reconsidered so that the agency can reassess its compliance with the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. The court has not yet ruled on the request. Revolution Wind’s was installed in September and the project is on track to reach its full capacity of 704 MW by the end of this year.
