According to the Port of Virginia, the substation is the first of its kind to ever arrive at an East Coast port and, at more than 4,000 tons, is the heaviest piece of equipment ever handled at the port.

Dominion wins second offshore wind lease area with lone bid

Virginia’s largest utility was the lone bidder for the lease of 176,506 acres about 35 miles off the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. The win means Dominion Energy has the potential to produce up to another 4 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power up to 1.4 million homes, directly adjacent to its Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project currently being built.

Dominion acquires a third offshore wind lease

Dominion Energy has acquired yet another offshore wind lease, this one next to and east of the area in the Atlantic where its 2,600-megawatt, 176-turbine wind farm is under construction. The new lease is Dominion’s third, after it acquired a 40,000-acre lease off the North Carolina Outer Banks last month. That lease could host turbines generating 800 megawatts, enough to power 200,000 homes, if regulators approve.
