Svend Brandt-Erichsen was interviewed by
Recharge News for its article, "Revolution
win bodes well but Empire will be test for US offshore
wind." (subscription required)

The article provides a look at the potential impact of the
recent Revolution Wind LLC v. Douglas Burgum et al. matter
ruling. In the case, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth of the
District of Columbia ruled in favor of Rhode Island, Connecticut
and Danish developer Ørsted, lifting a stop-work order
against the Revolution Wind project, a 704-megawatt project meant
to power 350,000 homes in the New England area.

Commenting on how this decision could impact the wind energy
industry, Svend said, "The real test is going to be the Empire
Wind case... that will be a real indicator as to whether or not the
Revolution judge's perspective carries over to others who are
reviewing this action." In that case, which was heard on
January 15, 2026, Empire Wind developer Equinor was granted a
preliminary injunction that allowed for construction to resume on
the project it is developing in New York State.
