When completed, these new projects will provide enough electricity to power approximately 250,000 homes at peak output. 🌞🏘

While winter weather can add to these complications, our experienced crews & mutual aid workers are prepared for whatever is thrown their way.

Great reminders 👇🏻

🚨stay away from downed lines (remember they could be snow covered!) and if you see one report it immediately at 1-866-366-4357 (1-866-DOM-HELP)
Snow is starting to fall in metro RVA. Be like Murphy - grab a blanket and hit the couch.
Stay off the roads if you can to help first responders get where they need to go!
Stay safe!
Now is the time to prepare for winter weather. Right now we have:
✔️Pre-staged construction & patrol resources
✔️DE crews & contractors on standby
✔️Engaged our logistics team to begin coordinating meals & lodging so crews can quickly deploy before, during & after the storm
Virginia Customers: Our crews are busy preparing to respond to any potential impacts from winter weather this weekend.
Here’s the latest on our preparation efforts and the weekend forecast. #vawx

@BonitaDomEnergy - Eastern VA
@JonDomEnergy - Western VA
@JeremyDomEnergy and @SamDomEnergy - Central VA
A major winter storm is forecast to affect the Midwest, South and eastern U.S. About 40 TECO personnel left for the two-day drive to Roanoke Rapids, NC, to assist @DominionEnergy and 80 tree trimming contractors to help @DukeEnergy. https://t.co/LVlkd1R6Dk
Jason George, a lead lineman at @DominionEnergy’s Fredericksburg office says crews are ready to respond to any outages that occur during the upcoming winter storm.
We're expecting a mixed bag of winter weather across our VA service area, but if you're in Central/South Central VA - keep a particular eye on the ice threat!
A Winter Storm Watch is now in effect west of the Richmond metro area. Developing low pressure will lift across our area on Sunday, bringing a round of snow, before a gradual change to sleet & rain. Strong, gusty winds will also bring potential for coastal flooding Sun/Sun night.
