Published on Monday, September 22, 2025

PROVIDENCE, RI – Governor Dan McKee today issued the following statement on a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granting Revolution Wind a preliminary injunction, allowing the project to restart construction.

“Today’s court decision on Revolution Wind reaffirms what I’ve been saying from day one: Halting a fully permitted project that is already 80% complete harms Rhode Island families, businesses, and workers. I am encouraged by this ruling that will put people back to work. I remain optimistic that the courts will continue to recognize the legitimacy and importance of this project to our jobs and our energy future.

“Increasing our energy supply options is essential to lowering long-term costs. That’s why my administration continues to support an all-of-the-above energy strategy that includes offshore wind, nuclear power, natural gas, and hydropower. This approach diversifies our energy portfolio and keeps our energy system reliable.

“I will continue to engage with the federal government and pursue every avenue to protect this important economic engine and lower long-term energy costs for the people of Rhode Island.”
