Chesapeake City Council unanimously denied a rezoning for a 350,000 square foot data center on 22.6 acres at Centerville Turnpike and Etheridge Manor Boulevard in June 2025, the city's first data center proposal. Chesapeake has since paused new data center applications for eight months while it rewrites its zoning rules.
Most of the county is served by Dominion Energy.
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.
Dominion's fuel and purchased power costs ran roughly a billion dollars past what bills collected. Recovering it directly would add about 21.79 dollars a month to a 1,000 kWh bill; Dominion proposes spreading it over 7 to 10 years with bonds instead, about 8 dollars a month. The hearing was August 12, 2026 and a decision is due by late September 2026.
