Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind

Our Clean Energy Future

Construction on Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW), the largest offshore wind project in the United States, is progressing on schedule. Onshore construction for transmission infrastructure began in late 2023, and offshore construction commenced in early 2024.

Anchored in Hampton Roads, CVOW is transforming the local economy and beyond by attracting economic development opportunities to create hundreds of good-paying clean energy jobs, millions in tax revenues and hundreds of millions in economic benefits annually.

Once complete, CVOW will generate enough energy to power up to 660,000 homes, and it will add to our diverse energy mix, which is essential for energy security, reliability and lowering fuel costs.

About

Delivering on Our Mission

We are committed to safely providing an "all of the above" mix of power generation sources to meet rising power demand, including offshore wind, to provide our customers with reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy.

CVOW is a 2.6-gigawatt project. Its 176 offshore wind turbines will generate enough carbon-free, renewable energy to power up to 660,000 homes. Harnessing the power of the wind means this project has expected fuel savings of $3 billion for customers during the project's first decade of operations.

Jobs for Today and Tomorrow

More than 800 Virginia-based workers are engaged on the project or with other businesses supporting CVOW. To support ongoing operations and maintenance, more than 1,000 local jobs will be needed.
