Providing electric service to new data centers does not impact reliability for existing customers. As part of the planning process, developers and utilities work together to determine load expectations to ensure the grid meets all present and future demand. To that end, Dahlgren West has engaged with Northern Neck Electric Cooperative, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative, and Dominion Energy to evaluate the impacts of this project and are working together to address them. As part of that process, Dahlgren West provided a phased development plan and a financial commitment for required upgrade costs. Through this collaborative approach, Dahlgren West will deliver a successful development while ensuring reliable power for existing customers.
