Virginia's Renewable Future: Dominion Energy Sells Wind Stake for $2.6B
10/24/2024
- Stake Sale: Dominion sells a 50% stake in Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind to Stonepeak for $2.6B.
- Debt Reduction: Part of Dominion's $21B debt strategy.
- Renewable Expansion: CVOW set to power up to 660,000 homes by late 2026.
Dominion Energy has struck a major deal by selling half of its stake in the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project to Stonepeak, one of the world’s leading infrastructure investors, for $2.6 billion. While Dominion will retain full control over the project’s development and day-to-day operations, this partnership gives Stonepeak a non-controlling 50% interest.
The decision is part of Dominion’s broader effort to reduce its debt by $21 billion. In recent years, the energy company has offloaded several assets, including Cove Point LNG, Questar Gas, and East Ohio Gas, as part of this strategy.
Dominion’s CEO, Robert M. Blue, expressed excitement over the deal, saying that teaming up with Stonepeak would support the project's timely progress and help deliver reliable, green energy to Virginia’s residents.
The 2.6-gigawatt CVOW project is not just any wind farm—it's the largest in the U.S. With 176 turbines and three offshore substations, the wind farm will generate enough renewable energy to power approximately 660,000 homes by late 2026. Covering a lease area of nearly 113,000 acres off the Virginia Beach coast, this massive undertaking is set to be a landmark for renewable energy in America.
As the demand for renewable energy surges, this deal reflects a significant shift towards cleaner energy solutions, aiming to fuel not just homes but also the local economy. It raises several critical questions for the future:
- How will this public-private partnership influence future U.S. offshore wind projects?
- What challenges might Dominion face as it balances renewable growth with debt reduction?
- Will the CVOW project set new standards for operational efficiency in offshore wind energy?

Enbridge Inc. has completed a $6.6 billion purchase of The East Ohio Gas Co., an Ohio natural gas company, from Dominion Energy. This acquisition is part of a larger $14 billion merger and acquisition deal previously announced by the two companies. The East Ohio Gas Co. will operate under the new name Enbridge Gas Ohio (EOG) and become part of Enbridge's Gas Distribution and Storage Business Unit, including taking on some debt as mentioned by Dominion.
A $2 billion deal saw Dominion Energy sell Questar Pipelines to Southwest Gas

A good asset will not sit on the market for long. After a deal with Berkshire Hathaway fell through, Dominion Energy managed to secure another one for Questar Pipelines in a drop of a hat. And get that, it is better than the former one by more than half a billion! Although not everyone is happy with such decisions, it seems that even Carl Icahn’s complaints won't be able to sway Southwest Gas Holdings’ decision. Though we will have our eyes peeled in any case… If everything goes as planned, a $2 billion deal will be closed before the end of the year.

As world leaders gather at the COP29 climate summit, a surprising trend is emerging: some of the biggest oil companies are scaling back their renewable energy efforts. Why? The answer is simple—profits. Fossil fuels deliver higher returns than renewables, reshaping priorities across the energy industry.
