California Preparing Lawsuit Against Trump Administration's Deal that Cancels 2 GW Floating Wind Project

The DOI agreed in April 2026 to terminate Golden State Wind’s Morro Bay lease, awarding the Ocean Winds–Reventus Power joint venture USD 120 million and requiring an equivalent fossil-fuel investment.

The move follows New York’s 2 June multi-state lawsuit over the Atlantic lease buyouts.
