Josh Kaplowitz, counsel in Troutman Pepper Locke’s Environmental + Natural Resources Practice Group, was quoted in the August 13, 2026, Recharge News article, “Atlantic Shores Ruling Puts Final US Offshore Wind Permits Back in Play.” The comments were republished in WorkBoat on August 18, 2026.

  • Josh Kaplowitz, an attorney with Troutman Pepper Locke specializing in offshore wind, however called the ruling “surprising.”
  • “The law says you shouldn’t be able to remand if there’s bad faith. And I think that there’s abundant evidence of bad faith, that this is all pretextual,” he told Recharge. “It’s just finding every hook they can to stymie offshore wind.”

  • Kaplowitz said the judge’s precedent could impact energy development beyond offshore wind.
  • “Any energy industry that has any sort of political controversy around it, [this] should make them very nervous,” he said.
