Officials from Dominion Energy and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) have broken ground on the Dulles Solar and Storage project at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.

Once completed, it will be the largest renewable energy project ever developed at a United States airport. It will generate up to 100 MW of solar energy and store up to 50 MW of power, enough energy to power more than 37,000 Virginia homes at peak output. All the energy produced will serve Dominion Energy Virginia customers.

By pairing emissions-free renewables with the growing benefits of energy storage, the project is an important part of Dominion Energy’s “all-of-the-above” strategy to reliably serve customers with increasingly clean energy.
