POWER & GRID
Time-to-power · verification · interconnectionPower reality
- ⚠ No public interconnection record for this load — PJM does not publish large-load requests.
- ⚠ No recorded land acquisition found.
How the time-to-power window was estimated
- Current stage: Permitting (furthest stage with documented evidence)[1]
- No public grid record: No interconnection request or utility contract found; adds uncertainty to the upper bound.
- From “Permitting”, large loads have typically taken 1.5–4 more years to first power (editorial range; see Methodology).
- The window is a range of plausible outcomes under these assumptions, not a forecast. It moves as new filings, queue updates or imagery arrive.

Utility & rates1
- GS-5 rate class for customers demanding 25 MW or more[8]ConfirmedBacked by a filing, deed, permit, interconnection-queue record, or a government or utility record. As of Nov 25, 2025.Nov 25, 2025Dominion Energy · Virginia State Corporation Commission · Docket PUR-2025-00058 · Final order issued · effective Jan 1, 2027
“the new GS-5 rate class will comprise customers demanding 25 megawatts or more. The new rate class will be effective beginning January 1, 2027.”
Applies to Dominion Energy Virginia's service territory; the facility's utility is the most likely retail provider by location unless a source names it.

Utility, ISO and nearby assets are derived from the site's location. Proximity to a substation or line doesn't establish the interconnection; that needs a utility filing or interconnection-queue record. Queue requests are applications, not commitments — most never reach operation.
