Sunrise Wind LLC, the developer of an offshore wind project approximately 30 miles east of Long Island, filed a lawsuit challenging the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s December 2025 order suspending work on the project. The complaint, which asserted claims under the Administrative Procedure Act, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, and the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, alleged that the order posed an immediate threat to energy, environmental, and public health benefits the project would generate, including achievement of the New York Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act’s renewable energy and greenhouse gas emissions reduction requirements.
