Dominion Coal-Fired Power Plant Construction Continues
Work continues at the coal-fired Dominion Power Plant in Wise County, Va.
ST. PAUL, Va. – As the structures begin to rise at the Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center, a spokesman for Dominion Virginia Power, which is building the 585-megawatt coal-fired plant, said this week that the project is continuing as planned.
“Things are just moving right along on schedule,” company spokesman Greg Edwards said. “No hitches at this point.”
The columns taking shape over the landscape are supports for a platform that will hold the turbines, which will operate by steam from the boilers, Edwards said.
The plans are for all of the steel for the major power plant buildings to be up by the end of this year – and for the plant, expected to cost $1.8 billion and take six million hours of work, to begin operating in 2012.
