- Description: Gordonsville Energy LP is an operating natural-gas-fired combined-cycle power plant in Louisa County, Virginia, within PJM. Current EIA data identifies four operating generators totaling 300.4 MW of nameplate capacity, while historical sale and regulatory records described the acquired facility as two approximately 240 MW nominal dual-fuel combined-cycle units. Dominion Virginia Power, now Virginia Electric and Power Co. under Dominion Energy, acquired the facility from Gordonsville Energy LP in November 2003 and operates it. The project sold power to Dominion under long-term power-purchase agreements and supplied steam to the Rapidan Service Authority. — Source · confidence: medium

## Data quality

- Capacity figures use different bases: current EIA data reports 300.4 MW of nameplate capacity across four generators, while the 2003 regulatory transaction record describes two units with approximately 240 MW of combined nominal capacity and the 1994 FERC record describes two 128 MW net facilities. Operating dates differ by source: EIA lists the first unit online on March 1, 1994; the Virginia Supreme Court record says the facility began operating in June 1994; and a Calpine release describes the facility as commissioned in 1993. No separately dated expansion or repowering milestone is identified. A Virginia retirement dataset contains a Gordonsville Energy LP entry referring to a heavy-oil unit mandated to retire by 2024, but the available record does not identify the affected generator; current EIA data lists four generators as operational.
