Bottom line
The sleeper story is data centers becoming Dominion's primary growth engine with 47 GW of contracts generating binding revenue commitments, not just the offshore wind headline everyone focuses on. CVOW first power still on track for Q1 2026 despite vessel hiccups, but the real constraint is transmission and distribution infrastructure to connect this exploding data center demand. Blue's stark admission that 'we failed to deliver' on vessel timing shows accountability but raises questions about execution on complex projects. My view changes if the Q4 capital plan update shows they can't finance the transmission build-out needed for data center growth without dilutive equity.

The 30-second version

  • Data center demand acceleration is now the real growth engine, not just offshore wind
  • CVOW first power confirmed Q1 2026 despite Charybdis vessel delays
  • Capital plan update delayed to Q4 call signals major upward revision coming
