Energy developer delivers major blow to blue state's climate agenda by canceling offshore wind contracts
Fox News
A major energy developer is pulling out of contracts it entered into with the State of Maryland to build two large offshore wind farms in a blow to Democrats' green energy goals.
Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Today’s announcement affirms our commitment to developing value creating projects and represents an opportunity to reposition Skipjack Wind, located in a strategically valuable federal lease area and with a state that is highly supportive of offshore wind, for future offtake opportunities," David Hardy, Orsted's group executive vice president and CEO of its Americas division, said Thursday in a statement.
"As we explore the best path forward for Skipjack Wind, we anticipate several opportunities and will evaluate each as it becomes available," he continued.
