The Trump administration has frozen 165 new onshore wind farm projects in the US, totaling around 30 gigawatts of generating capacity. The Pentagon is delaying approvals for these projects, citing national security concerns. Developers have reported canceled meetings and unprocessed applications since August 2025. This move echoes previous attempts by the Trump administration to halt offshore wind projects due to similar concerns, which faced legal challenges.
