ATLANTA, GEORGIA (By Chad Archey, Energy Analytics Institute, 15.Jan.2026, Words: 185) — The US District Court for the District of Columbia granted Empire Offshore Wind LLC a preliminary injunction that allows construction activities to resume on the outer continental shelf for the Empire Wind project.
Empire Wind is being developed under contract with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to deliver a critical new, near-term source of electricity for New York and bolster grid reliability at a time of rapidly growing demand. And, once completed, the project would provide enough power to electrify approximately 500,000 homes in New York.
