One New England offshore wind project has secured court approval to restart construction after the Trump administration paused the leases on five major projects days before Christmas, and Gov. Maura Healey says she's in touch with wind power "partner states" about getting the sector back to work.

New York's attorney general sued the Trump administration on Friday over its decision to halt two major offshore wind projects expected to power more than 1 million homes in the state.

New York's attorney general files lawsuits against Trump's offshore wind halt, arguing it threatens state economy and energy infrastructure.

The delays are attributed to federal uncertainty, including stop-work orders issued by the Trump Administration on five major projects. Two projects, Revolution Wind and Empire Wind, have questioned their continued viability due to the federal actions.

Just before the holidays, the federal government stopped work for a second time on two wind projects under construction, Sunrise and Empire, which are located just off the coast of Long Island. The U.S. Department of the Interior suspended the projects on the basis of undisclosed national security concerns.

The offshore wind project, which is estimated to be more than 80% complete, was scheduled to come online this year.

New York's attorney general sued the Trump administration on Friday for suspending construction on two major offshore wind projects that the state says it needs to power 1 million homes and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
