Trump administration lawyers said Wednesday they will move by Oct. 10 to vacate previous federal approval for Avangrid’s New England Wind project, a move applauded by commercial fishermen and offshore wind power opponents.
Avangrid’s owner, Spanish energy company subsidiary Iberdrola, planned the New England Wind 1 and 2 turbine arrays with a collective nameplate power rating of 2,600 megawatts. New England Wind 1 had been expected to be operational in 2029.
Now it’s the latest to fall before the administration’s campaign against virtually all forms of U.S. renewable energy development. News of the Department of Justice legal filing in the District of Columbia federal court was hailed by the New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association.
