Workers are already back on the job at the Connecticut State Pier in New London, one day after a judge allowed work to resume on a massive offshore wind project set to power 350,000 homes across Connecticut and Rhode Island.

The governors of both states called the ruling a “win,” but warned that future wind projects at the port are in jeopardy.

The State Pier is buzzing with activity as crews scramble to resume work on Revolution Wind. Boats will begin moving parts to the offshore wind farm on Wednesday, Gov. Ned Lamont said.

But doing it safely takes time.

“The team that’s standing behind me – that’s doing the work – is focused on making sure that nobody gets hurt, everything proceeds according to plan,” said Connecticut Port Authority Executive Director Mike O'Connor. “It does take so long to load a barge, send it out to a wind lease area and then install the wind turbine itself in the location.”

On Monday, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., restarted construction after a one-month delay imposed by the Trump administration. The U.S. Department of Interior originally cited national security concerns, but later said it needed more time to review interference with military radar, fisheries studies and possible undersea drone attacks.

Ørsted, the renewable energy project’s Danish developer, argued that it was losing $2.3 million per day.

“There is no question in my mind of irreparable harm to the plaintiff,” said U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth. “If Revolution Wind cannot meet benchmark deadlines, the entire project could collapse.”

Now, developers are racing the clock. They only have access to a critical installation vessel until the end of this year.

“I think we’re going to stay on track,” Lamont told reporters. “It was an interruption. It was a costly interruption – $2 million a day costing Ørsted – but we’re back.”

If Revolution Wind can get caught up, electricity could be flowing in about a year. Of the 65 total wind turbines, Ørsted has said that 45 are already in place.

Revolution Wind is back on track, but the prospects for future wind farms are looking a lot dimmer – at least in the short-term.

Connecticut has invested more than $300 million in the State Pier to stage and build wind farms. The port’s next big project is Sunrise Wind off the east end of Long Island, slated to provide jobs through late 2027.

But on Tuesday, President Donald Trump made it clear that wind power is on the chopping block in the U.S. – and he urged other nations to do the same.

“The wind doesn't blow. Those big windmills are so pathetic and so bad, so expensive to operate,” he told the United Nations General Assembly. “And they have to be rebuilt all the time; they start to rust and rot.”

Connecticut and Rhode Island leaders said they are pursuing an “all of the above” energy strategy, including “extensive conversations” about more hydroelectric, natural gas and nuclear power.

But they stressed that wind farms remain part of the solution.

“We have a great backyard called the Atlantic Ocean, and we're going to use it,” said Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee.
