New York's attorney general sued the Trump administration on Friday over its decision to halt two major offshore wind projects expected to power more than 1 million homes in the state.

Just before the holidays, the federal government stopped work for a second time on two wind projects under construction, Sunrise and Empire, which are located just off the coast of Long Island. The U.S. Department of the Interior suspended the projects on the basis of undisclosed national security concerns.

New York's attorney general files lawsuits against Trump's offshore wind halt, arguing it threatens state economy and energy infrastructure.

A federal judge has ruled for a second time in Revoution Wind's favor, lifting a stop-work imposed by the Trump administration.

The Trump administration paused leases for the Vineyard Wind project under construction in Massachusetts, Revolution Wind, Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, and two projects in New York: Sunrise Wind and Empire Wind. New York’s attorney general sued the Trump administration on Friday over Empire Wind and Sunrise Wind.

The delays are attributed to federal uncertainty, including stop-work orders issued by the Trump Administration on five major projects. Two projects, Revolution Wind and Empire Wind, have questioned their continued viability due to the federal actions.
