Trump DOJ withdraws wind permitting appeal, leaving leasing freeze vacated
The US Department of Justice dropped its appeal of a federal court ruling that had overturned President Trump's executive freeze on offshore wind leasing and permitting, according to Windpower Monthly. The withdrawal means the freeze remains vacated, restoring the regulatory pathway for offshore wind projects that had been blocked since early 2025. Multiple Northeast states called the outcome a legal victory; Utility Dive separately reported that those states are now pursuing offshore HVDC transmission planning as a next step. The resolution reduces near-term permitting risk for US offshore project developers and lenders, though separate Pentagon-related clean-energy restrictions reported by Fortune remain in dispute.

The CEO of Siemens Gamesa has warned that the company could begin reducing turbine production capacity if European offshore wind installation targets falter in the coming years, according to Windpower Monthly. The statement raises supply-chain risk flags for operators and asset managers who depend on the company's turbine availability for pipeline projects. A separate TGS 4C Offshore item flagged a related warning from Siemens Energy about offshore wind turbine capacity cuts. For insurers, reduced OEM production capacity can affect spare-parts availability and claims settlement timelines on active fleets.
