Vineyard Wind to Resume Full Activities Following Decision by U. S. District Court

The foundations for Vineyard Wind 1 were installed by DEME Offshore’ s vessel Orion
Boston – The U. S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts recently issued a decision to allow Vineyard Wind to resume full activities in its lease area on the Outer Continental Shelf.
On Jan. 15, Vineyard Wind filed a legal challenge to the suspension order issued by the U. S. Department of the Interior’ s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management( BOEM) on Dec. 22, 2025. The court’ s recent decision stays BOEM’ s suspension order. As the legal process proceeds, representatives of Vineyard Wind say it will continue to work with the administration to understand the matters raised in the order, and will
focus on working in coordination with its contractors, the federal government, and other relevant stakeholders and authorities to safely restart activities as it continues to deliver a critical source of new power to the New England region.
In December 2025, Governor Maura Healey released a statement in response to the U. S. Department of the Interior’ s issuance of the stop work order for five nearly complete offshore wind projects, including Vineyard Wind.
“ Energy costs are already too high. It makes absolutely no sense for the Trump Administration to halt construction on a project that is bringing more affordable
energy to our region. This puts people out of work during the holidays,” said Healey.“ Vineyard Wind has been producing power for a year, bringing down costs for residents and businesses, while creating nearly 4,000 jobs right here in Massachusetts. Donald Trump should be embracing an all-of-the-above approach to American energy, not shutting down critical sources like wind. It is dangerous to halt construction in the middle of a project, and I will stand up against this unlawful action by the Trump Administration to protect Massachusetts’ ratepayers and workers. We are working closely with impacted states
and developers to ensure the projects are completed and continue to provide affordable power to our communities.”
Vineyard Wind I has been producing power since January 2025 and has nearly completed construction, capable of producing 572 MW of power. The lease areas for these projects were designed in consultation with the Department of Defense, and Vineyard Wind has an agreement in place with both the Department of Defense and the Department of the Air Force to ensure any national security considerations are addressed.
