The Trump administration announced Friday that it has canceled the Revolution Wind project, which is based at State Pier. The move could deal a blow to the future of the region’s wind industry after state taxpayers invested $310 million to transform State Pier into an offshore wind hub so that it could accommodate wind turbine components and the ships that assemble them. On Friday, large sections of turbines remained spread out on the pier. A total of 45 of Revolution Wind’s 65 turbines have been completed. It remains the only offshore wind farm that will provide Connecticut with power — 304 megawatts to Connecticut and 400 megawatts to Rhode Island — and is the second of three planned offshore wind projects that State Pier will host. “The project, from my understanding, is nearly complete at this point,” Passero said. “The implications are wide-ranging. … There are a lot of construction jobs going on right now during this phase, and that’s probably the largest employment impact.” Passero said the Sunrise Wind project “is still on track.”
