“The Trump administration lifted a stop-work order issued last month on an offshore wind facility planned off the coast of New York, the project’s developer, Equinor, said on Monday. Equinor, a Norwegian energy company, said construction activities could resume on Empire Wind, a $5 billion project that is expected to someday provide power for half a million homes in New York. The company had warned it could lose billions of dollars in response to the order issued on April 16, raising concerns that fully permitted developments representing billions in investment are not safe. It said it was spending $50 million weekly to keep the project afloat during the suspension. ‘I would like to thank President Trump for finding a solution that saves thousands of American jobs and provides for continued investments in energy infrastructure in the U.S.,’ Equinor CEO Anders Opedal said in a statement.” (05/20/25)
