ABOUT OFFSHORE WIND

Offshore Wind is Key to Clean Energy & Job Growth

  • The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) pilot and commercial projects will allow Virginia to harness an abundant, renewable resource to deliver clean and reliable energy and provide jobs and economic growth to the entire Commonwealth.
  • Offshore wind generation is a vital part of our nation’s clean energy future and will help Virginia meet the goals outlined in the Virginia Clean Economy Act, including achieving a carbon-free future.

Virginia is Leading the Way

  • The CVOW pilot and commercial projects place Virginia on a trajectory to lead offshore wind development in the United States, as Hampton Roads and the Commonwealth offer many advantages: best in class port, a central location, a capable workforce, and supportive businesses.
  • When fully constructed in 2026, the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind farm will deliver more than 8 million MWh of clean, renewable energy to the grid, avoiding as much as 4.877 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually – the equivalent of taking more than 1 million non-EV cars off the road for one year or planting more than 80 million trees.
  • The CVOW pilot and commercial projects will give U.S.-operated and Virginia-based Dominion Energy valuable project and industry expertise and attract domestic supply chains, which will ultimately lower the costs of future offshore wind development projects and establish the tools and expertise needed to continue offshore wind expansion.
