California and a coalition of Northeastern states have sued the Trump administration and offshore wind developers, according to Utility Dive. Attorneys general for those states accuse the federal government of violating several laws in connection with the buyout of offshore wind leases.
The suit also alleges that developers colluded with the administration to arrange those buyouts. The source does not include a response from the defendants or additional details about the specific laws at issue.
The legal action is the latest challenge to the administration's offshore wind policy from state governments.
