Equinor to Resume Work on Empire Wind

May 21, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Norwegian energy company Equinor (Stavanger, Norway) said Tuesday it received word that a stop-work order on its Empire Wind facility slated for offshore New York was lifted. U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum took to the social media platform X last month to announce that he ordered the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) "to immediately halt all construction activities on the Empire Wind project until further review of information that suggests the Biden administration rushed through its approval without sufficient analysis."
