Data centersDominion serves about 450 data centers in their Virginia coverage area. Virginia hosts over a third of the world’s data centers, with the majority in Northern Virginia. A 2024 study by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission found that data centers are accurately being charged for current costs. The data centers’ proposed amendment would lower the minimum demand charges timespan to less than five years. Environmental groups are broadly in favor of Dominion’s plan to create a new rate class for data centers that would increase transparency and include new risk requirements.
