In U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Monday, Judge Royce Lamberth granted Revolution Wind a preliminary injunction against the stop work order issued by the Department of the Interior in December. 

In court filings last week, Revolution Wind, the 65-turbine wind farm located 12 miles off the coast of Aquinnah, said the Department of Interior’s decision to halt leases for reported national security concerns was against the law.

The Trump administration announced Monday that it is pausing the leases for several offshore wind energy projects under construction south of the Vineyard due to national security risks, the latest escalation from the President in his campaign against wind turbines. 

Construction on the 65-turbine Revolution Wind project off the coast of Aquinnah can resume after a federal district court judge granted the developers reprieve from a stop work order issued by the Trump administration. 

Revolution Wind is calling on a federal judge to toss out an order from the Trump administration that stopped construction on the fully permitted offshore wind energy farm off Aquinnah.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Friday halted construction on Revolution Wind, a nearly completed project about 12 miles off of the Island's western tip, due to national security concerns.
