SEWC’s Steph Grasmick recently toured Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) farm, where two turbines—taller than the Washington Monument—stand as a glimpse of what’s to come. In her article, Steph shares insights from her conversation with Dominion Energy’s John Larson, detailing the project’s progress and its potential to power 660,000 homes with clean energy.
