EPA Challenges Maryland Offshore Wind Project Amid Political Opposition
WIND ENERGY
The EPA closely monitored opposition to the Maryland Offshore Wind Project before the Trump administration questioned its state-issued permit. Records show that EPA officials in the mid-Atlantic region responded to concerns raised by Republican Rep.
Andy Harris. The project received its final state permit in June 2025, which led the Interior Department to announce plans to revoke its federal permit in August 2025. Catherine Libertz, an EPA official, emphasized urgency in communications regarding the permit. This project has garnered significant attention amid the administration's push against offshore wind developments.
