America’s biggest offshore wind farm got the green light to resume construction. (CNBC)
A federal judge granted Dominion Energy a preliminary injunction to resume construction on its massive Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, temporarily overturning the Trump administration's suspension order.
Why it matters: The 176-turbine project is critical for powering Northern Virginia (the world’s largest data center market) and is scheduled to begin delivering electricity within weeks.
Between the lines: This marks the third major legal defeat for the administration's offshore wind blockade—judges have now permitted restarts at Revolution Wind, Empire Wind, and Coastal Virginia.
