Sunrise Wind LLC, a subsidiary of Danish offshore energy giant Ørsted, has filed a complaint and a motion for a preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
Ørsted’s motion for a preliminary injunction means a judge will soon weigh whether to block the order temporarily while the lawsuit proceeds, a key early test of the case.
The legal outcomes could set important precedents for federal authority over energy infrastructure and influence investor confidence in large renewable projects across the United States.
