The developers of Revolution Wind off Rhode Island and Empire Wind off New York are the latest to sue the Trump administration.

Dominion Energy Virginia said in its lawsuit filed late Tuesday that the government's order is “arbitrary and capricious” and unconstitutional. The Richmond-based company is developing Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, a project it says is essential to meet dramatically growing energy needs driven by dozens of new data centers. The Interior Department did not detail the security concerns in blocking the five projects on Monday.

It comes two weeks after a federal judge struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order blocking wind energy projects, calling it unlawful.

A stop-work order by the Trump administration directs offshore wind developers to “suspend all ongoing activities” related to five large-scale projects under construction along the East Coast “for the next 90 days for reasons of national security.”.
