The Revolution Wind farm was already 80 percent complete before the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management sent it a letter Friday to “halt all ongoing activities” to address purported national security concerns and “interference” with other potential uses for the area.
Revolution Wind is supposed to provide enough electricity for more than 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut after coming online next year. It has already received federal and state permits to operate. Ørsted, one of the project’s developers, says it’s evaluating its legal options.
