    The President issued a memorandum temporarily halting new wind energy leasing on all offshore areas of the Outer Continental Shelf, effective January 21, 2025, until the order is revoked. This pause is intended to assess the environmental, economic, and legal impacts of wind projects, including their effects on marine life and energy costs. Federal agencies are also directed to review existing wind projects for any legal or environmental issues and evaluate the impact of defunct windmills. The scheduled Federal review includes consulting various government departments and may involve informing courts about ongoing litigation related to wind energy projects.
