Hydroelectric Power

Hydroelectric Power Facilities & Projects:

At Dominion Energy, we champion the utilization of water as a potent source of renewable energy through our hydroelectric power initiatives. Contributing approximately 10% of the nation's energy, hydroelectric power stands as a clean and efficient solution to meet growing energy demands while minimizing environmental impact. Our hydroelectric power stations are characterized by innovative design and operation, serving as vital supplements to conventional power sources during peak demand periods. Traditional hydroelectric power generation involves the utilization of dams on rivers to create reservoirs, with water released to flow through turbines, thereby generating electricity. However, our approach extends beyond large-scale dam construction; some of our hydroelectric plants utilize smaller canals to harness river water, demonstrating our commitment to versatile and sustainable energy solutions.
