Dominion Energy and Dulles International Airport Address Rising Power Demands Amid Data Center Growth
Dominion Energy is responding to increased power demands driven by data centers and AI technology. Dulles International Airport is building the largest airport solar installation in the U.S. to enhance local energy supply. Data centers in the U.S. consumed approximately 4% of national electricity in 2024, projected to reach 12% by 2028. Energy costs are emerging as a significant concern for enterprises, highlighting the need for energy intelligence to optimize consumption and control costs. A survey by MIT Technology Review Insights in December 2025 examined executives' views on energy intelligence.

Dominion Energy is addressing rising power demands due to the growth of AI-driven data centers, with Dulles International Airport constructing the largest airport solar installation in the U.S. to support the regional power supply. Data centers in the U.S. consumed about 4% of national electricity in 2024, projected to rise to 12% by 2028.
A single 100-megawatt data center consumes as much electricity as 80,000 homes. Enterprises face rising energy costs associated with AI infrastructure, prompting a focus on energy intelligence to optimize operations. A December 2025 survey by MIT Technology Review Insights of 300 executives highlighted current thoughts and anticipated challenges regarding energy intelligence.
