Dominion Energy has plans to invest $300 million between two projects, a power plant and a solar farm in Virginia’s Pittsylvania County.
Dominion has selected a 149-acre lot in the Southern Virginia Megasite at Berry Hill for a 500-megawatt combustion turbine “peaking” plant that would have the power to serve approximately 125,000 homes.
The Southern Virginia Megasite at Berry Hill, Virginia’s largest industrial park, measures 3,528 acres and is jointly owned by the City of Danville and Pittsylvania County. The megasite is shovel ready, including infrastructure, site grading, and is ready for occupancy; suitable for original equipment manufacturing operations and other large advanced industrial tenants.
In addition to the Southern Virginia Megasite project, Dominion also has made the decision to purchase and pursue the Maplewood Solar facility — a $130 million project that represents 120 megawatts of power production approximately seven miles northwest
