ACORE Statement on Department of Interior Lifting Empire Wind 1 Project Stop-Work Order
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) issued the following statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long after the Department of the Interior lifted its April 16, 2025, stop-work order that halted offshore construction for the Empire Wind 1 project (15-30 miles south of Long Island):
“This is great news for the 1,500 workers who can now put their hard hats back on and finish building this project. We applaud President Trump for reversing the stop-work order and allowing the project to move forward, and Governor Hochul for working collaboratively with the Administration on this important project. Empire Wind 1 benefits consumers, creates jobs, and adds to the reliability of the electric system.”
“We need an all-of-the-above energy strategy – that includes all energy technologies – to meet rising demand and ensure American energy dominance. Lifting the stop-work order respects that this project is fully permitted, capitalized, and under construction, delivering new infrastructure to meet growing electricity demand. The Trump administration’s approach of reducing unnecessary government red-tape and bureaucratic processes that have historically hampered infrastructure development is desperately needed to create American jobs and ensure energy dominance.”
