Cypress Creek Renewables sells Central Virginia Solar Projectto Dominion Energy

Dominion Energy has completed the acquisition of the 62.5-megawatt (AC) Madison Solar generating facility in Orange County, Virginia, from Cypress Creek Renewables. The project, which will be owned by Dominion Energy's contracted assets arm and which has received all applicable state and local permits, is expected to enter service in the second quarter of 2022.  

Northrop Grumman Corporation will take the electricity generated at Madison Solar as well as the renewable energy credits, under long-term agreements. Northrop Grumman anticipates that the facility will provide enough renewable power to the grid to match 100 percent of its Virginia manufacturing and office operations' electricity use.

About 660 acres of land along State Route 20 in Locust Grove are being purchased to house the solar development.
