Dominion Energy signed a contract with Siemens Gamersa Renewable Energy to supply 176 wind turbines for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project (CVOW).
The 2.6 GW project is the largest offshore wind farm currently under development in the United States. Once finished in 2026, CVOW would generate enough energy to power 660,000 homes.
Siemens Gamesa would construct the wind turbine blades at its recently announced blade finishing facility at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal, where Dominion is leasing property. The site represents a $200 million investment, which is expected to create 300 jobs in support of CVOW.
