Build a Clean Energy Future with a First Class Team

At Dominion Energy, we are building Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) to deliver Virginia’s clean energy future with economic development and jobs that will be transformative for Hampton Roads and beyond.

To move this project forward, we will be working alongside global partners, Virginia businesses and hundreds of local workers, contractors and suppliers. This team will be responsible for safely constructing, operating and maintaining the offshore and onshore components that will ultimately provide clean, reliable and sustainable energy to up to 660,000 homes.

Join an Informational Forum

As part of our education efforts, we have partnered with the Hampton Roads Alliance, Hampton Roads Workforce Council and other Virginia business organizations to host CVOW information sessions geared toward businesses and potential suppliers. These events, Workforce Wednesdays and Friday Forums, are full of valuable insights from key members of the CVOW project team.

The Virginia Supply Chain Team

In early November 2021, we created the Virginia Supply Chain Team, which is tasked with working with each major equipment provider to identify the direct and subcontracted activity needed in Virginia.

Once these scopes of work are identified, Dominion Energy and the providers will engage with local, regional and state economic development authorities and trade organizations, such as the Hampton Roads Alliance and the Virginia Maritime Association, to share these opportunities. From there, these groups and Dominion Energy will work to connect Virginia businesses and the major equipment providers. Dominion Energy will share available jobs through outreach to Virginia’s businesses, educational institutions, and workforce development organizations.

To take advantage of these opportunities, list your business as a potential supplier on the Dominion Energy potential supplier website and on the Virginia Offshore Wind Supply Chain Partnership Directory, hosted by the Hampton Roads Alliance. This information will be shared with the major equipment providers, and you will be on a mailing list for event invitations. The Hampton Roads Workforce Council website also hosts a database portal for those interested in offshore wind jobs.
