“I represent the State of Connecticut, which today is the site in southern New England of an offshore wind energy project that is 9 years into the process, 80 percent complete with offshore wind turbines already installed. Forty-five out of 65 turbines are in the ground and have gone through exhaustive permitting, including the Department of Defense, in terms of making sure that this project will proceed safely and securely in an area where we have the largest military installation in New England, with the New London Submarine Base and Coast Guard presence there. There is no question that this issue of radar interference was exhaustively investigated with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Air Force, and NORAD. All of them were brought into the permitting process. Mr. Chair, I include in the Record a letter dated December 2024, which states clearly that the Department of Defense has found that construction of the Revolution Wind project would not have adverse impacts on DOD missions in the area.”
