Revolution Wind, Rhode Island’s first large-scale offshore wind project, was put on ice by the Trump administration Friday, which ordered developers to immediately stop construction. The project is already 80% completed,

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management stopped all activity related to the 704-megawatt wind farm that has contracts to deliver power to RI and CT.

Revolution Wind has created about 1200 direct jobs in CT and Rhode Island and would generate power to the equivalent of about 350,000 homes.
