US utility group Dominion Energy has formally filed for regulatory approval of its two-turbine, 12MW offshore wind demonstration project off the mid-Atlantic state of Virginia, with Denmark’s Orsted set to act as EPC contractor for the offshore portion.
Dominion confirms it expects the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project to be on line by the end of 2020, which will allow the utility to analyse performance data for a year or two, before potentially building a much larger project in an adjacent zone by 2024.
