# Pentagon Advances Wind Project Reviews

In a filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, the Pentagon said it is advancing some wind projects under a revised national-security review process. Seven projects have been fully cleared and referred to the Federal Aviation Administration, and more than 50 were found to pose no risk. Renewable-energy groups and developers dispute the rationale for the review concerns, leaving potential schedule uncertainty for affected projects.

- Developers and contractors involved in wind projects should account for the review process and FAA referrals when planning project schedules; the signal does not identify a solicitation, award, or contract value.
- The clearance figures indicate that projects can move forward through the review process, but disputes over the review rationale may affect timing for projects still under consideration.
- DoD and FAA coordination is relevant to companies supporting wind development, including those planning project execution or bidding on related work.
