RWE’s $900M Wind Exit Channels Funds to Trump Donor’s LNG Firm

German energy giant RWE agreed to abandon offshore wind leases in New York, California, and Louisiana in exchange for $1.2 billion from a federal fund. Approximately $900 million of this payout is being used to purchase a stake in a Louisiana liquefied natural gas (LNG) project controlled by Stonepeak, a private equity firm co-founded by Michael Dorrell, a major donor to the Trump administration. While the White House denies directing the investment, critics argue the deal benefits a political ally and fails to advance new energy infrastructure.

While the White House denies any conflict of interest, lawmakers and experts argue the deal benefits a political ally without adding new value to the energy project.
