The region’s Revolution Wind project is moving forward and should start supplying power to homeowners next year, following a months-long shutdown and recent legal battle, officials said. Construction of the offshore wind farm was halted in August after the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued a stop-work order. The project, located 15 miles south of Rhode Island and 32 miles southeast of Connecticut, resumed about a month later when a federal judge overturned the order. The bureau’s 60-day deadline to appeal the ruling passed Nov. 21. As of early last month, the project was about 85 percent complete, with 52 of 65 turbines, all 65 turbine foundations and two offshore substations installed, according to a spokesperson for Orsted, a Danish energy company and one of the wind farm’s developers. “Revolution Wind remains on track to reach completion in the second half of 2026,” the spokesperson said.
