What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 96 MW facility would draw roughly 304,000 to 1.1 million gallons of water a day, about what 3,500 households use.
Deferred fuel cost recovery (docket PUR-2026-00078) is pending; Dominion Energy says it would add about $7 to $9 to a typical monthly bill. Data center cost allocation and transmission rider (docket PUR-2026-00056) adds about $0.94 a month to a typical bill, decided August 1, 2026. 2025 biennial review base rate increase (docket PUR-2025-00058) adds about $11.24 a month to a typical bill from January 2026.
