BALTIMORE -- An executive order issued by President Trump could threaten an offshore wind project in Maryland. The measure put a temporary halt on new federal leases, permits and loans for both offshore and onshore wind development projects until his administration conducts an environmental and economic review.

The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It included 11 turbines with a capacity of 450 kW each, and the project cost 10 million euros.

Trump backed up his pledge to throw up barriers to offshore wind power by immediately withdrawing "from disposition for wind energy leasing all areas within the Offshore Continental Shelf." The order describes the withdrawal as "temporarily" preventing ...

Maine’s formal interest in developing ocean wind energy dates back to 2008, when former Gov. John Baldacci created an Ocean Energy Task Force to devise a strategy.

In a sweeping order, President Trump halted federal approvals for new wind farms, in a move that could affect projects on land and in the ocean.

The president’s order has no immediate effect on offshore wind leases already authorized, including two large areas off California’s coast. But it sends a current of uncertainty through the fledgling renewable energy industry,

The Japanese government on Wednesday announced a revision of its rules for offshore wind power auctions as the sector globally grapples with delays and soaring expenses driven by tight supply chains and inflation.

U.S. President Donald Trump suspended new federal offshore wind leasing on his first day back in the Oval Office on Jan. 20, pending an environmental and economic review.

Trump signed an executive order to halt offshore wind. What does it mean for Massachusetts' projects like SouthCoast and Vineyard Wind?

With President Trump's executive actions, some wind projects off the Massachusetts coast, such as the SouthCoast wind project, could be dead in the water.

“We are proud to announce [Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s] final approval of the SouthCoast Wind project, the nation’s eleventh commercial-scale offshore wind energy project, which will power more than 840,000 homes,” Elizabeth Klein, director of BOEM, said in a statement.

When President Trump issued an executive order on Jan. 20 to suspend consideration of permits for offshore wind energy projects that had not been approved, it directly — even if
