The Trump administration is preparing to revoke a Biden-era permit for an $11.5 billion offshore wind farm planned off the coast of Maryland.

In a court filing on Aug. 25, the U.S. Department of the Interior said its Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is “in the process of reconsidering its prior approval” of the project’s construction and operations plan, which was issued in the final days of the Biden administration.
