United States: TotalEnergies Signs Agreements with U.S. Department of Interior to End its U.S. Offshore Wind Projects

Washington DC, March 23, 2026 – TotalEnergies has signed settlement agreements with the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) to relinquish its Carolina Long Bay lease (Lease OCS-A 0545) and its New York Bight lease (Lease OCS-A 0538), both awarded in 2022, along with its partners. As a result, TotalEnergies will no longer develop offshore wind projects in the United States.

@Nonilex When the Obama administration offered loan guarantees to solar panel manufacturers to promote solar, conservatives pulled their hair out of their heads because “government shouldn’t pick winners and losers” in energy markets (i.e., consumers, as market participants, should). They decreed this was proof Obama was a socialist. Of course, none of them remember because they don’t really think for themselves.

@Nonilex

Feels like this would require Congress to approve. Wish they would take back their primary role in our government.
