4. Virginia Energy in 2018
Electricity Generation – Sources Natural Gas 52% Nuclear 28% Coal 11% Renewables 8% Hydro Electric 2% Petroleum % (2016 figures)

5. Virginia Energy in 2018
Energy Generation power plants in Virginia Coal, nuclear, biomass, hydro, natural gas, solar, wind, wood, geothermal, petroleum, other

6. Virginia Energy in 2018
Electricity Consumption – End Use Residential Electricity delivers 58% of all energy to residential sector Commercial Electricity delivers 61% of all energy to commercial sector Industrial Electricity delivers 19% of all energy to industrial sector; natural gas also is heavily used in industrial sector Transportation is the largest user of energy in Virginia; residential and commercial use about equal amounts of energy; industrial uses slightly less.

7. Virginia Energy in 2018 Dominion Energy – Energy Generation
coal, nuclear, natural gas, biomass, pumped storage, hydro, solar, other
18,265 MW
Appalachian Power – Energy Generation
coal, natural gas, hydro, pumped storage, wind, other
6,958 MW

8. Virginia Energy in 2018
Virginia’s energy consumption is 2.5 times greater than the state’s energy production
Virginia imports from other states about 55% of total energy used

9. Virginia Energy in 2018 Renewable Energy
solar, wind, geothermal, wood, other
Solar power is growing dramatically
Current capacity is about 700 MW (enough to power about 70,000 homes)
In 2017, Dominion Energy accounted for more than half of new solar generation
Solar capacity may triple in next 5 years
Wind power is in early stages of development – land and offshore
First utility-scale wind project (80 MW) has been permitted (Botetourt Co.)
Offshore wind demonstration project is being planned (Dominion Energy and Ørsted) — two 6 MW wind turbines to be built 27 miles off Virginia Beach

10. Virginia Population Growth
Current population 8.48 million (2018)
Population growth million (2040); will be 10th largest state
Population trends
Most extraordinary growth will be in NoVa – Loudoun, Fairfax, Prince William; population will increasingly grow to the NW – Frederick, Clarke, Warren
Greater Richmond will grow – Chesterfield, Henrico, Hanover, Goochland, Powhatan, Cumberland, Buckingham
Northern Neck will remain relatively steady
Peninsula will see slight to moderate growth
Southside will be steady with modest losses
Greater Roanoke will grow – Roanoke, Montgomery, Botetourt
Southwest will see modest declines (Source: Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, June 2017, as interpreted)
