Stop work order on RI Wind Project adds to LI Concerns

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office, which earlier in May brokered an effort to restart work halted by Trump on a project off Long Island’s coast called Empire Wind, on Monday said it was “monitoring the [Revolution] situation closely.” Hochul spokesman Ken Lovett said the state “remains committed to keeping our two offshore wind projects moving forward.” Empire developer Equinor owns a 10% stake in Orsted.
