Dominion Reports Marginal Increase in Data Center Pipeline

Dominion Energy announced that its contracted data‑center capacity now exceeds 48 GW, a three‑percent increase since September. The utility lifted its five‑year capital‑investment outlook by 30% to $65 billion, with over 90% earmarked for Virginia to meet accelerating data‑center load. A new rate class will impose minimum demand charges on customers consuming 25 MW or more starting January 2027. Meanwhile, generation projects such as the 1 GW Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center and the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project are progressing, while no capital is allocated for small modular reactors.
