The Department of the Interior has revoked federal approval for the Maryland Wind (MarWin) offshore wind project, a 300 MW development planned off Maryland’s coast near Ocean City. This marks the first instance of the Trump administration canceling an already-approved offshore wind project. The Interior Secretary cited “inadequate consultation with local communities” and “insufficient consideration of impacts on tourism and fishing industries” as reasons for the decision. The project, being developed by US Wind, had received its Record of Decision in January 2025 and was scheduled to begin construction later this year. US Wind stated it is “evaluating all legal options” and emphasized that the project had undergone extensive environmental review and stakeholder engagement over several years.
