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.

The project has immense potential as a renewable energy source to generate affordable electricity for homes and businesses. By harnessing the power of the wind, we anticipate an expected fuel savings of $3 billion for customers during its first decade of operations.

Delivering Wind Power

CVOW is the fastest and most economical way to deliver electricity to Virginia’s grid to support America’s AI and cyber, shipbuilding, and military and defense preeminence.

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.
