Dominion Energy: Court Grants Injunction Allowing CVOW Work to Resume
What Happened
On January 16, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted Virginia Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power)’s request for a preliminary injunction challenging a December 22, 2025 BOEM Director’s Order that had suspended work on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project for 90 days. Dominion Energy filed an 8‑K (Items 7.01 and 8.01) reporting the injunction and furnished a related press release.
Key Details
- Injunction granted on January 16, 2026 in response to the BOEM (Bureau of Ocean Energy Management) December 22, 2025 Director’s Order.
- BOEM’s Order had directed OSW Project LLC to suspend all ongoing CVOW activities for 90 days.
- Virginia Power, a Dominion Energy subsidiary, holds 50% of the membership interests in OSW Project LLC.
- The injunction allows work on the CVOW project to resume while Virginia Power’s legal challenge proceeds.
Why It Matters
This filing signals that regulatory enforcement that temporarily halted the CVOW offshore wind project has been paused by a court’s preliminary injunction, allowing project work to restart. For investors, that reduces near‑term operational disruption risk for the CVOW project while litigation continues; the filing does not provide financial metrics or a final legal outcome, so the long‑term impact depends on the court case that remains pending.
