The United States government has ordered the immediate suspension of construction on the offshore wind project Revolution Wind, located off the northeast coast. The infrastructure, developed by Danish company Ørsted, was expected to supply electricity to around 350,000 households in the state of Rhode Island. So far, 45 of the 65 planned turbines have been installed, representing roughly 80% completion of the site.
