June 17, 2026 — The utility would use onshore infrastructure at the site for a wind farm off the Outer Banks.
The Virginia Beach Development Authority last week approved an option agreement with Dominion Energy for land that could support a future offshore wind project.
The deal allows the utility to buy about 30 acres at Corporate Landing Business Park within the next five years, which it could use for an onshore substation and grid interconnection point.
It is not related to the 2.6-gigawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, or CVOW, currently under construction about 27 miles east of the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
Dominion’s eyeing the land for another possible project about 25 miles south, in North Carolina. The lease area, which the utility calls CVOW South, is located off the Outer Banks coast.
