In April of 2019, Dominion Energy announced its joint effort with Facebook to substantially increase renewable energy generation with the addition of six new solar facilities that are dedicated to Facebook. Montross, Gloucester, and Grasshopper are located in Virginia and Gutenburg, Chestnut, and Pecan are located in northeast North Carolina.

• Montross: Located in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and is an approximately 20-megawatt facility that became operational in December 2018
• Gloucester: Located in Gloucester County, Virginia, and is an approximately 20-megawatt facility that became operational in April 2019
• Grasshopper: Located in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, and is anticipated to be an approximately 80-megawatt facility that is expected to become operational in the Fall of 2020

These projects are all under a long-term renewable energy contract with Facebook.

In August 2016, Dominion Energy Virginia, the Department of the Navy, and the Commonwealth of Virginia reached an agreement to construct an 18-megawatt solar facility at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia. In March 2017, the Virginia State Corporation Commission issued its approval for the Company to construct and operate the facility, which become operational in December 2017.

The Commonwealth purchases the solar output and renewable attributes from the facility under a long-term agreement.

In exchange for the nearly 100 acres that houses the 179,000 solar panels of the ground-mounted, single-axis tracking facility, the Navy receives an alternative electric feed, which increases energy resiliency on the base. The facility is capable of producing enough electricity at peak production to power approximately 4,400 homes.

Oceana is the second solar project that Dominion Energy has collaborated on with the Navy. In December 2015, construction was completed on the Morgan’s Corner Solar Facility, a fixed-tilt 20-megawatt facility in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. The project is under a power purchase agreement with Navy. View the news release.

Dominion Energy built three large-scale solar projects that began serving customers in December 2016. The projects total 56-megawatts of installed capacity. At peak output, they are capable of producing enough electricity to power about 14,000 homes.

• Scott: The solar facility produces 17-megawatts of electricity. It is located on 165 acres of land in Powhatan County
• Whitehouse: This project generates about 20-megawatts and is located in Louisa County. It encompasses a 250-acre site
• Woodland: The solar facility produces approximately 19-megawatts of electricity located in Isle of Wight County. The project is situated on approximately 200 acres

The three projects include facilities comprised of ground-mounted single-axis tracking solar panel arrays, which are a reliable, proven technology, and expected to have an operating life of 35 years.

These facilities also created more than 800 jobs during the construction phase and $74 million in economic benefits to three counties in the Commonwealth.

These projects bring the total capacity of our solar energy alliance with AWS to 260-megawatts.

AWS has publicly shared a long-term goal to achieve 100 percent renewable energy usage for its global infrastructure and has established a new target to be powered by 50 percent renewable energy by the end of 2017.

Dominion Energy, the University of Virginia and its Darden School of Business have entered into an innovative solar power partnership. Under the agreement, the University and Darden will purchase the entire output of electricity produced at a new, 160-acre solar facility in King William County for the next 25 years.

The UVA Hollyfield Solar project is capable of producing an estimated 17-megawatts of alternating current, a figure representing about 12 percent of the University’s electric demand. The Darden School, as a participant in the partnership, will assume responsibility for about 25 percent of the electricity production, which will enable the school to achieve its long-term zero-carbon goal.

Dominion Energy acquired the Hollyfield Solar Project as a development asset. The facility features approximately 65,000 solar panels, enough to power about 4,250 homes at peak output. The facility entered operations in September 2018.

Dominion Energy also acquired the UVA Puller Solar Facility as a development asset. The facility features approximately 58,800 solar panels and is capable of producing an estimated 15-megawatts of alternating current, which is equivalent to about 9 percent of the University's electric demand or enough to power about 3,750 homes at peak output. The facility became operational in October 2018.

Under a 25-year agreement, the University will purchase the entire output of the 120-acre solar facility located in Middlesex County.

In total, the two sites will produce 32 megawatts of solar energy and will offset about 21 percent of the University's electric demand.
