In October 2023, the company filed a proposal with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) for these projects in addition to 8MW projects in Brunswick County and Hanover County.
In addition to these projects, the portfolio will include 13 power purchase agreements (PPAs) with independently owned solar projects, totalling 435MW. Also, the firm targets 2026 for the project completion. After completion, the capacity of Dominion Energy’s approved projects in Virginia will be more than 4,600MW.

Of the projects approved by the SCC, Dominion Energy Virginia will own and operate nine solar projects and an energy storage project with a combined capacity of 500MW.
