AG Campbell today filed an amicus brief in support of Vineyard Wind in its lawsuit against the Trump Administration for attempting to halt construction on the nearly complete Vineyard Wind project, which is expected to provide power to more than 400,000 homes in the Commonwealth. In her brief, AG Campbell argues that the completion of the Vineyard Wind project is critical to meeting increased energy demand with affordable, reliable energy, protecting the state’s economy, and achieving Massachusetts’s clean energy goals. The brief encourages the Court to grant Vineyard Wind’s motion to temporarily block the federal government’s stop work order as the company’s case proceeds.  

“Just weeks away from completion and already partially operational, the Vineyard Wind Project is a critical source of clean, reliable, and affordable energy for Massachusetts residents. The completion of this project is essential to ensuring our ability to lower costs, meet rising energy demand, advance our climate goals, and sustain thousands of good paying jobs. My office fully supports Vineyard Wind as it seeks to challenge the Trump Administration’s baseless and arbitrary directive–which is plainly aimed at undermining the growth of the clean energy sector and further jeopardize the health and wellbeing of our communities.” – AG Campbell
