Danish offshore wind developer Ørsted has announced that its 704 MW Revolution Wind project off the coast of Rhode Island (United States) has reached full commercial operation (Ørsted press release, 05/11/2026). Revolution Wind delivered its first electricity to New England in March 2026. It is jointly owned by Ørsted and Skyborn Renewables, which is owned by BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners. The announcement comes shortly after the inauguration of Ørsted’s 913 MW Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind park in the German North Sea (KEI, 24/09/2026).
Revolution Wind is among the offshore wind projects affected by stop-work orders issued by the Trump administration, which has pursued policies impacting the renewable energy sector, particularly offshore wind. More recently, in late October, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) filed motions with federal courts seeking to revoke or refer for reassessment the Biden-era approvals of the construction and operation plans (COPs) for three offshore wind projects in the United States. Revolution Wind is among them, alongside US Wind’s 2.2 GW Maryland Offshore Wind and Avangrid’s 2.6 GW New England Wind (KEI, 26/10/2026).
In addition, Ørsted reported that its installed renewable energy capacity reached 19.5 GW in the third quarter of 2026, supported by the ramp-up of commercial operations at Borkum Riffgrund 3 in Germany and the commissioning of the Old 300 battery energy storage system in the United States.
