- CVOW construction has not been delayed or stayed, and any
representation to the contrary is false
- Erroneous news releases blatantly and grossly misrepresent
the facts
- The company strongly believes that the plaintiffs' petition
is without merit
- CVOW remains on schedule and on budget consistent with
previously disclosed timelines and costs
RICHMOND, Va., May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE: D), today announced
that any reports that the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW)
project has been delayed are false and grossly misrepresent the
facts.
On April 29, anti-wind groups
filed a petition in the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to delay CVOW
construction using the same meritless arguments as have already
been rejected before by the courts, including last week by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in relation to an offshore
wind project in Massachusetts.
Dominion Energy strongly believes that the project's biological
opinion is compliant with all legal requirements and expects to
prevail against the request for a construction delay.
Consistent with the construction schedule, installation of
monopiles by the DEME-operated vessel "Orion" is expected to
commence between May 6 and May
8. Therefore, any suggestion that any legal action has caused
a delay to the construction timeline as of May 1, 2024, is false.
