A federal district court in Virginia has lifted a construction pause on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project, which had been halted due to national security concerns raised by the U.S. Navy.

The ruling has garnered support from Virginia's House Speaker, who emphasized its positive impact on the state's economy and energy supply, while Senator Mark Warner criticized previous attempts to block the project, highlighting its significance for affordable energy. A related lawsuit by public interest organizations against the Biden administration is still pending in Washington, D.C.
