Role at the time: Governor of Connecticut
Statement summary
Ned Lamont says the latest halt would increase electricity prices and undermine business predictability.
“Businesses and residents deserve economic predictability, yet with the administration’s constant starts and stops they’re left with the opposite, so the one thing the people of Connecticut can count on is that we will stand up to the Trump administration and ensure this project continues to move forward.”
Connecticut's governor responded to the December attempt to stop the nearly complete project.

“This political move by the Trump administration will drive up the cost of electricity bills and contradicts everything the administration has told us.”
Joint press release from the governors of Connecticut and Rhode Island the day after BOEM ordered work stopped. Lamont's statement criticizes the halt and says it contradicts what the administration had told the states.
