How is Dominion Energy handling load growth? Why was load growth not included in the first session?

As required by the Virginia State Corporation Commission, Dominion Energy uses PJM’s most current load forecast for the DOM Zone in its IRP modeling.  The IRP presents a spectrum of plans and scenarios for meeting forecasted growth.  Load growth will be discussed in Phase Three Workshop Three.  Dominion Energy IRP Stakeholder Meetings & Materials

Other Stakeholder Questions and Answers

• If Dominion is not applying ELCC to thermal units, can you please explain the capacity value assumptions for those resources? The transmission study seems consequential to the impact of the resource builds, because the import/export constraints will significantly affect where or how much new capacity gets built. The assumptions within the transmission study (such as voltage concerns, stability issues, etc.) will drive these decisions. It would therefore be very helpful to understand the extent to which options like alternative transmission technologies, or near-term grid enhancing technologies are being considered.
• What data center assets can be used in demand response? If data centers are being required to use diesel generators, how is this consistent with the Clean Air Act?
