Renewable energy organizations filed lawsuits seeking to compel the Pentagon to resume military reviews for proposed wind projects. The filings argue that the current delays amount to a complete halt on new wind farm approvals. More than 100 planned wind farms in 21 states are now stalled indefinitely as the Pentagon delays military reviews once seen as routine.
The reviews assess whether turbine installations would interfere with radar, flight paths, or other defense operations.
The court actions ask judges to declare the extended delays unlawful and to set deadlines for completing the reviews. Plaintiffs contend that the Pentagon previously processed similar applications within established timeframes.
The stalled projects span multiple regions and represent a significant portion of planned U.S. wind capacity. Developers had expected the reviews to proceed on the prior schedule before the current slowdown began.
