Massachusetts pushed the power purchase agreement deadline for the 2.4 GW SouthCoast Wind project from June 30 to January 29, 2027, citing federal permitting uncertainty following the Trump administration's December 2025 suspension of leases including the already-operating Vineyard Wind 1. The state has also requested $70 million from the legislature to replace $34 million in federal funds canceled in September 2025 for a Salem staging terminal, after a January 2025 memo halted all new offshore wind leases and permits pending review.
