DOMINION RESOURCES 2015 SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT
3
ELECTRIC
RELIABILITY
Since 2007, Dominion Virginia Power has
spent more than $6 billion on electric
transmission and distribution growth
and reliability projects in Virginia alone.
And reliability has improved. Excluding
major storms, our average customer
was without power 119.6 minutes in 2015,
down from 155.8 minutes in 2006.
WARREN COUNTY
POWER STATION
In 2014, the $1.1 billion Warren County
Power Station, located in the northwest-
ern part of Virginia, began commercial
operations. It serves 335,000 Dominion
Virginia Power customers nearly
around-the-clock with three highly
efficient natural gas turbines and a steam
turbine that captures exhaust heat.
Warren County is one of three large
natural gas-fired facilities either con-
structed, under construction or planned
in Virginia to meet our customers’ needs.
The $1.2 billion Brunswick County
Power Station is nearing completion in
southeastern Virginia. The plant is
expected to provide electricity to nearly
340,000 customers beginning in 2016.
The proposed Greensville
County Power Station, a $1.3 billion
gas-fired generation facility with
enough anticipated output to serve
about 400,000 Virginia homes and
businesses, is planned to begin
operations in late 2018.
