Dominion Energy Virginia has released its 2024 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), aiming to meet rising power demand with a focus on reliable, affordable, and cleaner energy. The plan proposes a 130% increase in offshore wind and a 150% rise in solar capacity, along with small nuclear reactors and enhanced energy storage. Approximately 80% of new generation will be carbon-free, responding to a projected 5.5% annual demand increase in the region.
