Trump officials plan to scuttle another offshore wind project

• Interior is simultaneously halting construction of Ørsted's nearly completed Revolution Wind development in New England.

Driving the news: The Justice Department said Interior will move no later than Sept. 12 to remand and vacate the construction and operation permit granted last December.

Catch up quick: US Wind's project, to be built in phases, would eventually help power over 718,000 homes, Interior's offshore energy branch said when approving the permit in December.

• The company is owned by funds managed by Apollo Global Management, an American investment firm, and Renexia SpA, a subsidiary of Toto Holding SpA.

What we're watching: Legal pushback against the efforts.

• "Our construction and operations plan approval is the subject of ongoing litigation, but we remain confident that the federal permits we secured after a multi-year and rigorous public review process are legally sound," US Wind's VP of external affairs Nancy Sopko tells multiple outlets.
