#EmpireWind is a large project being built off #LongIsland by #Equinor, Norwegian energy company. The first of two phases, Empire Wind 1, will have an 800MW capacity and has already received permitting and environmental approval. #BOEM indicates a review of its approval is ongoing, but construction can resume during the review

#US #Interior secretary orders #offshorewind project shut down
The order from US Secretary of the Interior #DougBurgum, who alleged that the project was rushed through review. But #Burgum's move comes the same week a report from the Government Accountability Office, done in response to the executive order, found only minor issues with the existing permitting process.
