Case Summary

(This summary is temporary while we research the case.)

On December 23, 2025, a coalition of national and regional renewable energy trade associations brought this suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), its component agencies (BLM, BOEM, BSEE, USFWS), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and senior federal officials. The complaint challenged six final agency actions that plaintiffs described as an unlawful, concerted campaign to place wind and solar energy into “second-class” status compared to fossil fuel and nuclear projects. Plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to invalidate these actions targeting wind and solar development.

This case is ongoing.
