Dominion Energy Sues U.S. Interior Department Over Virginia Offshore Wind Project Pause
WIND ENERGY
Dominion Energy has sued the U.S. Interior Department after a 90-day pause on its Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, which was halted due to national security concerns despite previous approvals. The $11 billion project, expected to generate 2.6 gigawatts of electricity, is incurring over $5 million in daily costs during the delay, and it has garnered bipartisan support in Virginia for its significance to energy reliability. Other companies have also filed lawsuits in response to the pause, while Dominion has previously faced legal challenges related to environmental issues.
