those affected by the disease Dominion Energy expects to pay more to complete the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project because of the Trump administration’s new taxes on imported goods including monopile foundations and turbine towers The $10.8 billion offshore wind farm about 30 miles off the Virginia Beach coast will be the nation’s largest consisting of 176 turbines that generate about 2.6 gigawatts of electricity Dominion CEO Bob Blue told investors last week that if current tariffs continue through construction of the project late next year the utility would expect about $500 million in added costs changes to future tariff policy could affect these estimates,” he said “It's difficult to fully assess the impact tariffs may have to the project's final cost as actual costs incurred are dependent upon the tariff requirements and rates at the time of delivery of the specific component.” import taxes have increased project costs by about $4 million That’s on top of other rising costs Dominion announced earlier this year The utility said in February that the initial price tag of the project jumped by nearly 10% because of higher costs from building onshore electrical interconnection and network upgrades mandated by the regional electric grid operator Under a settlement approved by state regulators a few years ago Dominion is only allowed to surcharge customers for about half of the additional costs the utility said the average household in Virginia can expect to pay about 43 more cents per month over the life of the wind farm To account for an expected $120 million in added tariff costs through the end of the next quarter Dominion now plans to add another 4 cents to monthly energy bills “Let me be clear: CVOW remains one of the most affordable sources of energy for our customers,” Blue said Thursday He said the company does not anticipate problems with actually receiving materials needed for the wind farm including turbines from Siemens Gamesa a Spanish-German subsidiary of Siemens Energy that is the world’s largest maker of offshore wind turbines Dominion is about halfway through constructing the project and plans to finish on time late next year It’s expected to start generating electricity by early next year The Virginia offshore wind project is one of only a handful that are fully permitted and under construction along the East Coast, as the Trump administration ramps up efforts to halt the industry Dominion is also fending off a lawsuit from a coalition of conservative groups that argue federal officials failed to adequately consider the wind farm’s potential impacts on endangered whales The company says its permitting process was rigorous and that several measures are in place to protect whales including trained observers who watch for marine mammals and “bubble curtains” to dampen the sound of underwater construction It’s unclear whether the federal government under Trump will continue to defend the Virginia Beach project in court The government’s lawyers are expected to file their latest response to the lawsuit later this summer Get local news every weekday in your inbox Sign-up here. — A conference in

That’s largely because of power-hungry data centers that fuel artificial intelligence systems “We need every electron we can get,” Mitchell said And offshore wind “is the fastest electron we can get.” The company is also working to meet the 2020 Virginia Clean Economy Act terms which require the utility to generate all of its power from carbon-free sources by 2045 including a subset specifically from offshore wind Meanwhile, Dominion is fending off a lawsuit from a coalition of conservative groups that argue federal officials failed to adequately consider the project’s potential impacts on endangered whales Dominion says several measures are in place to protect whales The lawsuit also targets federal agencies that issued Dominion’s permits such as the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management It’s unclear whether the Trump administration will continue to defend Dominion’s project in court while administration officials echo the plaintiffs’ concerns in public remarks Despite the turbulence, industry leaders said they’re optimistic about offshore wind’s future as a key way to transition to clean energy. They pointed to achievements such as Monday's groundbreaking in Chesapeake of a $700 million subsea cable factory CEO of the South Korean company called LS Cable & System spoke on the Oceantic conference stage a day later “We’re looking at the long-term perspective,” he said “And looking at that long-term perspective — Virginia Beach police made over 50 arrests leading to nearly 200 criminal charges during the recent Spring Break Weekend at the Oceanfront Officers also confiscated at least 28 firearms over the course of the weekend The arrests included people mostly in their late teens or early twenties While many of the arrested were from the Hampton Roads area not all that visited the Oceanfront area this past weekend came to have a good time; many came with criminal aspirations," a Virginia Beach police spokesperson said about the arrests Police said officers responded to several shots fired including a shooting in the 1400 block of Atlantic Avenue on Sunday morning in which a person was shot "...let me be clear: we will not allow individuals who come here to commit crimes — especially those involving firearms — to disrupt the peace and safety we have worked hard to build," Virginia Beach Police Chief Paul Neudigate said "We had enhanced staffing in place to maintain order and seek out those engaged in illegal firearm acts – our officers acted swiftly and professionally this weekend to ensure that those who endangered our community were caught and held accountable."
