Dominion Energy Proposes Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center Amid Public Opposition
Dominion Energy has proposed the Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center (CERC) in Virginia to address rising power demands from AI data centers, planning to build one of potentially eight methane plants. Despite receiving permits amid public opposition due to environmental concerns, ongoing litigation over zoning approval continues. The CERC, designated as a 'peaker plant,' may lead to increased electricity rates for consumers, while Dominion is also required to transition to zero-carbon energy by 2045 under the Clean Economy Act.
