About

Wind Energy

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

Harnessing the Power of the Wind

CVOW is located in a 112,800 acre-lease area – nearly twice the size of the City of Norfolk – located just east of the existing pilot project, 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach.

Harnessing the power of the wind means this project has an expected fuel savings of $3 billion for customers during the project's first decade of operations.

Delivering Wind Power

CVOW has immense potential as a renewable energy source that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, diversify energy supply, generate affordable electricity for homes and businesses and help revitalize key economic sectors.

Through our partnerships and planning, we’re currently working to connect the energy generated offshore to the grid and to prepare the next generation of clean energy employees.
