Governor Lamont and Commissioner Dykes Statements on Federal Court Preliminary Injunction Allowing Work To Resume on Revolution Wind

Posted on January 12, 2026

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont and Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Katie Dykes released the following statements regarding the preliminary injunction issued this afternoon by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia blocking the Trump administration’s latest effort to prevent construction from continuing on the nearly complete Revolution Wind offshore wind project:

Governor Lamont said, “This project should have never been shut down the first time or second time by the White House. Federal interference has stood in the way of lower energy costs and good-paying jobs, but today’s ruling puts Revolution Wind back on track. With construction resuming and suppliers gaining certainty as we near completion, this state-backed project will help deliver a more diverse energy supply and lower utility costs for families and businesses. We look forward to seeing this project move ahead without further disruption and begin powering more than 300,000 homes.”

Commissioner Dykes said, “Once again, the courts have confirmed what we already know, that the federal government’s efforts to stop the Revolution Wind project are nonsensical, arbitrary, and capricious. This is welcome news for the dedicated skilled laborers working on this project, and for Connecticut ratepayers, who stood to lose an estimated $500 million per year if this project were blocked.”
