Trump administration asks court to allow re-evaluation of Revolution Wind's Construction and Operations Plan
The Trump administration filed a court motion seeking to rescind or re-examine the previously approved Construction and Operations Plan (COP) for Ørsted's Revolution Wind offshore project off Rhode Island, which is already partially operational. The move, reported across multiple outlets including Recharge News, The Maritime Executive, CT Mirror, and the Financial Times, represents the administration's second attempt to halt or revisit the project after an earlier effort. For asset managers and insurers with exposure to US offshore wind, the action signals that federal permit approvals for operating projects may not be final, introducing retroactive regulatory risk. Law360 also noted the administration is testing the scope of a recent permitting statute in this filing.

Delaware's Environmental Appeals Board ordered the state's Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) to revisit its approval of US Wind's Maryland offshore wind project's coastal zone consistency determination. The ruling, reported by Delaware LIVE News and WGMD, means the project must clear an additional regulatory hurdle before progressing. The decision adds to a pattern of state-level permitting setbacks compounding federal headwinds for US offshore wind developers. Insurers and lenders with exposure to US offshore construction timelines should note the compounding effect of simultaneous federal and state-level permit challenges.

Germany has published plans to tender approximately 4 GW of offshore wind capacity in its 2027 auction round, according to Enerdata. Vattenfall's wind chief separately broke ranks to publicly back the German offshore tender structure, Recharge News reported, in contrast to some peers who have expressed reservations. The auction scale and developer backing provide a clearer forward pipeline signal for equipment suppliers, grid planners, and project financiers active in the German North and Baltic Seas. Asset managers tracking European offshore wind deployment timelines should factor this into 2027 capacity outlooks.

Recharge News reports that England has seen its highest volume of onshore wind planning applications in ten years, a trend attributed to the 2023 relaxation of planning rules that had effectively blocked new onshore projects in England since 2015. The surge in applications does not yet translate directly into capacity additions, as permitting timelines remain lengthy, but it signals a meaningful pipeline build for operators and investors focused on UK onshore assets. For insurers, the wave of new-build activity may increase near-term demand for construction-phase coverage in the UK market.

Nordex reported that third-quarter 2026 orders surged approximately 29.5–30% year-on-year, with growth led by demand from the US, Turkey, and Germany, according to Recharge News, reNEWS, and Windpower Monthly. The results indicate a partial recovery in US onshore wind ordering activity despite federal policy uncertainty, and sustained strength in core European markets. For asset managers and turbine buyers, the order data provides a leading indicator of near-term manufacturing throughput and potential delivery slot availability. Reuters also covered the results, noting Turkish demand as a notable driver.
