Warner, Kaine, Scott Celebrate that Power is Flowing from Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) and U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA-03) celebrated the announcement that the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project is now generating electricity:

"After years of work, we're absolutely thrilled that the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, the largest commercial-scale offshore wind project in the United States, is now providing clean, reliable energy to Virginians. We've been proud of what we've done with Dominion Energy and other partners in the region to secure federal funding for the project, improve local maritime infrastructure, and create good-paying jobs. We look forward to continuing to work together to grow Virginia's clean energy economy."

This comes after a federal court recently blocked the Trump administration's efforts to stop work on the project. CVOW will provide Virginians with greater price stability, fuel savings, and protection against future energy shocks, such as those being created by the Trump Administration's war in Iran.

Warner, Kaine, and Scott have been strong supporters of the CVOW project and have secured significant federal funding to support the offshore wind industry and make upgrades to maritime infrastructure in Hampton Roads.
