US Suspends Offshore Wind Leasing with Executive Order

President Trump issued an executive order halting new and renewed offshore wind leases and approvals until federal permitting practices are reviewed. This suspension impacts both onshore and offshore wind projects.

Liz Burdock, CEO of Oceantic Network, criticized the decision, stating it harms the U.S. offshore wind industry, supply chains, and workers during a time of rising energy demand. She emphasized the need to accelerate renewable energy projects to meet growing energy needs, create jobs, and support economic growth across 40 states.
