Revolution Wind, a 50/50 joint venture between Ørsted and Global Infrastructure Partners' (GIP) Skyborn Renewables, has announced that the Revolution Wind project has started delivering power to New England's electric grid (United States) (Ørsted press release, 14/03/2026).
“Revolution Wind, a 704 MW offshore wind energy project, is expected to supply enough electricity to power more than 350,000 homes and businesses. The project will deliver power under fixed-price, 20-year agreements with energy utilities in Rhode Island and Connecticut”, according to the company’s press release
Revolution Wind was one of five major East Coast offshore wind projects whose construction was halted by the Trump administration in December 2025, citing national security concerns. Developers and states filed legal challenges, and federal judges allowed all five projects to resume construction, essentially ruling that the government had failed to demonstrate a sufficiently imminent national security risk to justify halting works (KEI, 14/01/2026).
The December order was the second time the administration had halted construction on Revolution Wind. Work had previously been paused on 22 August 2025 over national security concerns, before a federal judge ruled one month later that the project could resume.
