Project costs for Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) $11.2 billion, including unused contingency of $206 million. Costs increased due to accelerated recognition of steel tariffs through the end of 2026. Approximately $8.2 billion has been invested through September, with remaining project costs attributable to Dominion expected to be $1.5 billion.
Data center demand Approximately 47 gigawatts in various stages of contracting as of September 2025, up from 40 gigawatts in December 2024 (17% increase). Substation engineering letters of authorization increased to 28 gigawatts (7% increase), construction letters of authorization increased to 9 gigawatts (73% increase), and electric service agreements increased to nearly 10 gigawatts (12% increase).
Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project: The project is 2/3 complete and expected to deliver electricity to customers in late Q1 2026. The total project cost is $11.2 billion, with $8.2 billion already invested. The remaining costs attributable to Dominion are $1.5 billion. The project is forecasted to represent an average residential customer monthly bill credit of $0.63 over its life.
Utility-scale solar and storage projects: Filed for $2.9 billion of new investment, including 845 MW of solar and 155 MW of storage projects.
Data center demand: Demand has increased by 17% year-over-year, with 47 GW in various stages of contracting. This includes a 73% increase in construction letters of authorization and a 12% increase in electric service agreements.
Safety performance: OSHA recordable rate was 0.28%, continuing a positive trend over the last three years.
Financial performance: Third-quarter operating earnings were $1.06 per share, with full-year guidance narrowed to $3.33-$3.48 per share. The company reaffirmed all other financial guidance.
Charybdis wind turbine installation vessel: The vessel faced delays but is expected to begin turbine installation in November. The total cost remains at $715 million.
PJM transmission projects: Submitted proposals for the largest investment in PJM's open window process, with final selections expected in Q1 2026.
Weather Impact: Adverse weather conditions have reversed from being a tailwind to a headwind, negatively impacting financial results by approximately $0.02.
Higher Costs: Increased depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A) and higher financing costs are pressuring financial performance.
Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) Project Delays: Delays in the Charybdis wind turbine installation vessel have reduced schedule contingencies, potentially pushing some turbine installations into early 2027, which could impact project timelines and costs.
Steel Tariffs: Accelerated recognition of steel tariffs has increased project costs for the CVOW project.
Charybdis Vessel Issues: Quality assurance issues with the Charybdis vessel have delayed its readiness for turbine installation, impacting project schedules.
Tariff Exposure: Potential changes to tariff policies could further impact project costs for the CVOW initiative.
Data Center Demand Risks: While data center demand is growing, there is a risk of customers discontinuing projects, which could affect financial returns despite reimbursement clauses.
Regulatory Risks: Pending regulatory approvals for various projects, including the Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center and utility-scale solar and storage projects, could impact timelines and financial outcomes.
Full Year 2025 Financial Guidance: Dominion Energy has narrowed its full-year guidance range to $3.33 to $3.48 per share, maintaining the original midpoint of $3.40. The company expects to deliver full-year results at or above the midpoint, assuming normal weather for the remainder of the year.
Capital Investment Forecast: A comprehensive capital investment forecast update through 2030 will be provided in early 2026. Incremental opportunities to deploy regulated capital are expected, with a timing bias towards the latter part of the plan.
Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) Project: The project is 2/3 complete and is expected to deliver electricity to customers starting late Q1 2026, with full completion by the end of 2026. Some turbines may extend into early 2027 due to reduced weather and vessel maintenance contingencies. The project cost is now $11.2 billion, with $1.5 billion remaining attributable to Dominion. The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) has been updated to $84, driven by lower forecasted REC prices.
Data Center Demand: Robust demand from data centers continues, with approximately 47 gigawatts in various stages of contracting as of September 2025, a 17% increase from December 2024. Dominion is developing resources to meet this demand while safeguarding other customers from cost risks.
Transmission Projects: Dominion submitted project proposals in PJM's latest open window process, representing the largest proposed investment by the company in this process. Final project selections are expected in Q1 2026.
Utility Scale Solar and Storage Projects: Dominion filed for $2.9 billion of new investment in utility-scale solar and storage projects, including 845 megawatts of solar and 155 megawatts of storage, to further derisk its growth program.
Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center: A 1-gigawatt natural gas-fired electric generating facility is under review, with an order expected in December 2025.

The earnings call reveals concerns about cost overruns and regulatory risks, particularly with the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. Despite strong sales and optimistic guidance, the increased project budget, potential tariff impacts, and supply chain delays raise red flags. The Q&A session highlighted uncertainties, such as the PJM delay and unclear management responses.

The earnings call presents a mixed picture. Financial performance shows a positive EPS increase, but the issuance of common equity could dilute shares. The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is progressing, though with potential tariff impacts. The Q&A reveals confidence in supply chain management and ongoing demand from data centers, but management's reluctance to provide specifics on potential risks raises caution. The combination of these factors suggests a neutral sentiment, with no significant catalysts for strong positive or negative movement in the stock price.
The earnings call summary indicates strong financial performance with $21 billion in debt reduction and expected revenue from the offshore wind project. The Q&A section reveals positive sentiment towards SMR technology and data center demand growth. Despite some unclear responses, the guidance remains optimistic with a projected earnings growth rate of 5-7% through 2029. The positive aspects outweigh any negative concerns, suggesting a positive stock price movement over the next two weeks.
