Denmark-based Ramboll has been chosen by the US energy company Dominion Energy to support development and engineering aspects of the Coastal Virginia offshore wind project.

Dominion Energy is currently in the process of developing a new 2.6 GW offshore wind farm which will supply 650,000 US homes with zero-carbon electricity when in service by the end of 2026. The first phase of the build out will support initial generation of wind energy by 2024. Additional phases will come online in 2025 and 2026. Ramboll has been tasked to act as the Owner’s Engineer providing consultancy to Dominion Energy on all development and engineering aspects of the farm.

“Ramboll is a respected, global leader in the offshore wind industry and their expertise will prove to be a valuable asset as we develop our Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project,” said Mark D. Mitchell, Dominion Energy’s vice president of generation construction. “Working with experienced offshore wind leaders, such as Ramboll, will help us bring clean, renewable energy to our customers and achieve our goal of net zero emissions.”

“Ramboll has worked in the US offshore wind market for more than 15 years, but we have been present on the European market for 30 years and have designed the foundations for over 60 percent of all offshore wind turbines in the world and have been involved in many other aspects along the project lifecycle of the majority of the world’s offshore wind farms. We are therefore well equipped to deliver on the big ambitions on especially the US East Coast,” says Tim Fischer, Ramboll’s global offshore wind director.

Dominion Energy is gearing up to complete construction on its 12 MW Demonstration Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind pilot project. It features two turbines, each 6 MW in capacity, to be installed this spring and scheduled to deliver power by the end of the year.

At the same time, the company is also preparing to perform ocean surveys to determine the commercial scale project’s potential impact to the ocean and sea life, which supports development of the project’s Construction and Operations Plan for submission to BOEM later this year.
