Currently, Dominion Energy has more than 40 solar facilities totaling more than 1.5GW of solar generation operational or under development in Virginia. The company has signed off on a commitment towards boasting 3GW of new solar and wind energy in operation or under development in Virginia by 2022.  

News of Fort Powhatan’s development will allow Dominion to reach approximately 45% of that commitment with a little over two years to go. 

Over the last two months, Dominion has been very active within Virginia, with the company acquiring 95MW worth of PV installations from Savion LLC, a subsidiary of Macquarie's Green Investment Group, back in September. 

Just last week, Virginia signed off on a 345MW deal with Dominion Energy for the development of four more PV projects across the state.

The event will gather the key stakeholders from solar developers, solar asset owners and investors, PV manufacturing, policy-making and and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out the PV module supply channels to the U.S. out to 2027 and beyond.
