Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Danish renewable energy giant Orsted filed suit Thursday against the Department of Interior because it paused its lease on a $5 billion off-shore wind farm in Rhode Island.
Orsted's Revolution Wind project is 87% complete, and "is expected to be ready to deliver reliable, affordable power to American homes in 2026," a press release said.
Orsted shares jumped more than 4% on the lawsuit news, CNBC reported.
The administration put a halt to the project last month. The Interior Department announced it would pause the leases of five offshore wind farms being built on the East Coast.
