US judge allows Massachusetts offshore wind project to resume construction

Vineyard Wind, a $4.5 billion joint venture between Spain's Iberdrola and Denmark's Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, is the fourth project paused by the Interior Department's December 22 order to receive a reprieve from a federal court.

The government paused the projects due to what it said was new, classified information on risks to national security from radar interference.

The injunctions have given developers of multi-billion dollar projects what could be temporary relief to continue construction while their underlying lawsuits, which seek to permanently block the administration's order, proceed.
