ACP Statement on Revolution Wind Stop Work Order 

WASHINGTON D.C., August 22, 2025 — The American Clean Power Association (ACP) released the following statement from ACP CEO Jason Grumet after the Department of the Interior issued a stop work order for the Revolution Wind project (off the coast of Rhode Island and Connecticut):

“Revolution Wind has been years in the making, planned, permitted, and financed under clear federal rules. Stopping construction now, when it is 80 percent complete, is more than a bureaucratic delay — it’s a broken promise to the communities, workers, consumers, and businesses counting on this project.

“This is not the first time extreme partisan politics has derailed sound energy policy. The unfortunate message to investors is clear: the U.S. is no longer a reliable place for long-term energy investments.

“Rhode Island and Connecticut families and businesses deserve the power Revolution Wind will provide. More than 1,000 American workers have already logged two million union work hours on this project, they deserve the jobs it will create. The nation deserves a governing system that keeps its promises.

“Here again, the Trump Administration is raising alarms about rising energy prices while blocking new supply from reaching the grid. Taking jobs away from American families while raising their energy bills is not leadership. American workers and consumers deserve better.”
