Virginia plans up to $270 billion in electricity infrastructure investment over 20 years amid uncertain load growth, shifting technology costs, and expanding behind-the-meter gas generation. Current integrated resource planning by Dominion Energy lacks comprehensive multi-factor scenario analysis, risking less resilient and costlier power system transitions under the Virginia Clean Economy Act.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face bigger risks if you rely on single-factor energy cost models like Dominion currently does. Develop tools that model multiple interacting risks together to win in Virginia's complex electricity market.
