Temporary Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing and Review of the Federal Government’s Leasing and Permitting Practices for Wind Projects
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a memorandum temporarily withdrawing all areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from offshore wind energy leasing. This action halts new or renewed wind energy leases in these areas to address concerns about the impact on marine life, ocean currents, energy costs, and the fishing industry. The memorandum also orders a comprehensive review of federal wind leasing and permitting practices, citing potential legal deficiencies and environmental concerns.

Existing leases are not affected, but a review will determine if any changes are necessary.
