How much of the load forecast increase from 2024 to 2025 is for data centers and how is the data center load split between the Dominion Load Serving Entity (LSE) and other LSEs? Where in VA is the data center load increasing? What process does Dominion use for load requests, and how does that eliminate double counting in the load requests?

The majority (approximately 85%) of the increase in the load forecast over the next 20 years is from data centers. The Company only forecasts its load, not other LSEs, for IRP purposes. Data center load increases are occurring in northern Virginia, the Stafford area, Richmond, and Southside VA.

 The Company uses a 3-contract structure (i.e., SELOA, CLOA, ESA) to process load requests with increasing financial commitments. While the Company does not forecast by contracts, this process does eliminate double counting in the load forecast. This approach takes into consideration that speculative projects will fall out when financial commitments are required. For more information on load forecasting methodologies, see the 2024 IRP Appendix 2A.
