A U.S. District Court has granted a preliminary injunction allowing construction to resume on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project while Dominion Energy’s legal challenge continues. The decision permits work on the project to move forward as the lawsuit against the federal agency action proceeds, enabling the company to focus on restarting construction safely and keeping the project on track to begin delivering power in the coming weeks.

The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is being developed by Dominion Energy and will consist of 176 offshore wind turbines with a total capacity of 2.6 gigawatts. Once completed, the project is expected to generate enough electricity to power up to 660,000 homes. Dominion Energy described CVOW as a key component of its diversified energy supply strategy, aimed at meeting rising regional demand while advancing large-scale renewable generation.
