Special delivery 🎉 The first of three offshore substations in support of Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind arrived at Portsmouth Marine Terminal yesterday. This infrastructure will play a crucial role in delivering reliable and increasingly clean energy from our offshore wind farm to our customers.
The Port of Virginia and Dominion Energy achieved a major milestone today with the arrival of the first Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) substation at Portsmouth Marine Terminal. The substation is the first of its kind to ever arrive at a US East Coast port and, at more than 4,000 tons, is the heaviest piece of equipment ever handled at the port. Once operational, energy generated by the wind turbines 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach will be bundled at the offshore substation and exported to shore.
