Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is pausing the state's involvement in a multistate offshore wind development deal.
Lamont cites the projects' potential costs, leaving Rhode Island and Massachusetts to collect proposals.
A Sierra Club report finds offshore wind can save New Englanders $630 million annually.
Lori Brown, executive director of the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters, said offshore wind is essential to the state achieving its climate goals.
"It's a real dangerous game to play, for the rest of us out here trying to get our climate action going, trying to get offshore wind off and running," said Brown. "And it's a huge market, and we're backing away from it for absolutely no good reason whatsoever except political gain."
