Connecticut Attorney General William Tong joined other state attorneys general in suing the federal government over deals that canceled offshore wind leases in exchange for payments to Bluepoint Wind and Invenergy. The states allege the deals unlawfully used taxpayer funds and failed to follow required procedures, and ask the courts to invalidate the deals and block their implementation.
The attorneys general ask the courts to declare the agreements unlawful, void the lease cancellations, and prohibit the administration from taking further action to carry out the deals. These are requested remedies, not remedies reported as already imposed.
This action does not concern privacy practices, so it does not directly suggest changes to privacy or data-processing clauses. In energy project, lease, and government-facing agreements, review provisions addressing government authority and representations, lease cancellation and termination rights, compensation for project abandonment, funding conditions, change in law, and restrictions on use of settlement or other proceeds. Vendor, customer, and employee privacy clauses are not implicated by the facts described.
