OSLO, April 17 (Reuters) - Norway's Equinor EQNR will halt offshore construction of its Empire Wind I project in the New York State, following an order from the United States Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the company said on Thursday.
"We have decided to stop offshore construction of the project following the order, while we will continue the construction of an onshore terminal in Brooklyn," Equinor's spokesperson told Reuters.
"We will engage with the administration to find out why the order was issued after we had received all the permits previously," she added.
