Dominion Generation

Dominion's generating facilities produce about 28,200 megawatts of efficient electric power.

Our fossil-fueled power stations primarily use coal to generate power provided to customers. Our nuclear stations have attracted international attention for their innovative programs, achievements and efficiency.  We also have a number of Non-Utility Generation Stations that contribute to the generation portfolio. Finally, we also use renewable energy to produce electricity, including wind, solar, biomass fuels, and water that powers our hydroelectric generating facilities.

Renewable energy is an increasingly important aspect of Dominion’s diverse generating portfolio.  In the near term, renewable power helps lower the company’s carbon intensity and reduces our exposure to unpredictable fuel price swings.  Longer term, it is an important aspect of our climate change strategy and the nation’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

Adding renewable resources to our generating portfolio has important advantages:

  • It reduces our carbon intensity;
  • It diversifies our new-build portfolio, which helps lower our exposure to fuel price volatility; and
  • It positions us to respond to any federal RPS standard or carbon legislation that Congress may pass in the future.

Dominion Generation uses this variety of power stations to enhance our system's reliability. This guards against major problems that might be produced by economic, environmental or technical problems that could arise in a single area.
