In its 2024 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission and the North Carolina Utilities Commission, Dominion Energy Virginia laid out portfolio options to meet rising power demand through investments in new power generation.
The IRP is not a request to build any specific project, but instead a long-term planning document based on current technology, market information and load projections. The company says 80% of the plan’s incremental power generation over the next 15 years is carbon-free, including:
- 3,400 MW of new offshore wind in addition to the 2,600 MW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project currently under development.
- 12,000 MW of new solar.
- 4,500 MW of new battery storage.
- Small modular nuclear reactors beginning in the mid-2030s.
The IRP is based on a forecast developed by PJM, which projects that power demand within the company’s delivery zone is forecasted to grow 5.5% annually for the next decade and to double by 2039.
“We are experiencing the largest growth in power demand since the years following World War II,” says Ed Baine, president of Dominion Energy Virginia.
“No single energy source, grid solution or energy efficiency program will reliably serve the growing needs of our customers. We need an ‘all-of-the-above’ approach, and we are developing innovative solutions to ensure we deliver for our customers. I am proud of the affordability we deliver, with residential rates 14% below the national average, and as shown in the plan we intend to continue that focus. Our comprehensive plan ensures we can always deliver reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy day or night, rain or shine, winter or summer.”
In a separate filing with the SCC, Dominion Energy proposed 1,000 MW of new solar projects in Virginia.

Keep in mind that “removing Trump from office” and “stop talking about Trump” are two different events.
It’s quite possible that a Democrat-controlled congress could remove him from power within the coming months. But think about the damage he’s done to our nation and the path to repair it. Think about the war, the trade deals, the economic policies, our relationships with our allies, the racism, our erstwhile position as leader in world democracy, and the degradation in public health, education, and environmental responsibility.
We’ll be talking about Trump as long as an organized human civilization is functioning on this planet.
To the a
uthor of the meme here, I would suggest that hate and ignorance are far more aggressive forms of cancer.
Yes, Hegseth and RFK, Jr. will be gone, but I think what’s going to happen first is the decapitation of the snake itself, i.e., the removal of Trump from the presidency.
Based on the news on social media, this could happen via the 25th Amendment, based on Trump’s mental deterioration. In my view, that’s a shame. If he’s not criminally prosecuted, this nation will be deprived of letting the American people and the rest of the world know that rule of law still matters in the United States.
