PLATTS: 100--Virginia regulators suspend approval of 944-MW Dominion Energy gas plant

Virginia regulators have suspended the approval of Dominion Energy's 944-MW gas plant in response to a petition from environmental and climate justice groups. The groups argue that the approval did not meet the requirements of the Virginia Clean Economy Act and Virginia Environmental Justice Act. The plant, estimated to cost $1.5 billion, faced opposition over emissions and costs. Dominion plans to break ground in 2026, but the project's timeline may be affected by the suspension.
