Orsted, Equinor, Peers in Offshore Headwinds

Director of the New York Offshore Wind Alliance Alicia Artessa joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Justin Teresi on this episode of the Votes and Verdicts podcast to discuss a host of recent litigation and policy challenges facing the US offshore wind sector. With the US Department of the Interior issuing stop-work orders affecting five projects already well into construction by companies such as Orsted, Equinor, Dominion Energy and Iberdrola’s Avangrid, the conversation examines litigation aimed at nixing the bans, as well as background action by the Trump administration preceding the moves. Artessa also discusses broader litigation challenging what some view as further federal roadblocks to the approval of new wind and solar energy projects in the US — and state governments’ efforts to streamline their own approvals processes. She also offers her take on what the future may hold for the expansion of offshore wind and its place in meeting ever-increasing US energy demands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
