Planned to be built 43.4km off the coast of Virginia Beach, the project will have the capacity to supply enough zero-carbon electricity to power 650,000 US homes. It is scheduled to be commissioned at the end of 2026.
Ramboll global offshore wind director Tim Fischer said: “The project allows us to not only bring to the table our experience in project development and owner’s engineering, but also in-depth expertise in detailed engineering and design across all relevant project packages, which makes us unique in the market and provides Dominion Energy with an effective one-stop-shop solution.”
Ramboll said that the project would provide a significant contribution to Virginia’s target of producing 30% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
