Attorney General Anthony G. Brown filed an amicus brief in federal court supporting US Wind’s request for a preliminary injunction to protect a major offshore wind project off Maryland’s coast. The project would generate 1,710 megawatts of electricity—enough to power more than 700,000 Maryland homes—and is estimated to support over 13,000 jobs and more than $6 billion in economic benefits to the state.
“Maryland has spent years building our offshore wind future, but the Trump administration’s actions threaten that progress and the thousands of jobs this project would create," said Attorney General Brown. “We’re filing this brief to defend critical investments in Maryland communities, good-paying jobs for Marylanders, and the clean energy our families need as electricity demand and utility costs continue rising."
