Attorney General Neronha reaffirms commitment to defending clean energy infrastructure following suspension notice

Published on Monday, December 22, 2025

Attorney General Peter F. Neronha today issued the following statement after the Trump Administration announced that it would suspend leases for five East Coast wind farms, including Revolution Wind:

"Today's surprise suspension order affecting nearly a half-dozen of America's wind energy sites, including nearly completed Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island, is yet another attempt by this President to continue his all-out assault on wind energy," said Attorney General Neronha. "The actions of this Administration have undercut our clean energy infrastructure, causing Rhode Islanders to pay the price - in the cost of ever-increasing energy bills, placing well-paying jobs in jeopardy, and preventing a future of domestic clean energy production. The courts have already reaffirmed what we have known to be true since day one: that this President cannot cancel clean energy projects just because he believes doing so is politically expedient for him.

"We are reviewing today's suspension order, and will continue to stand up to this President when his actions threaten to harm Rhode Islanders."
