The judge cited “irreparable harm,” noting the pause was costing $2.3M/day and risking collapse—if work isn’t finished by December, the specialized installation vessel won’t be available again until 2028.
For context: The administration had halted work last month over unspecified national security concerns and has since moved to block or revoke permits for multiple other offshore wind farms.
