Adjacent Project Land Area

Approximately 25-acre company-owned LNG parcel adjacent to Greensville; Dominion project overview separately states 20 acres

SCC application for adjacent LNG facility describes an approximately 25-acre parcel owned by Virginia Electric & Power Company, almost entirely in Brunswick County and adjacent to the Greensville station. Dominion's separate project overview describes supporting LNG equipment as sited on 20 acres. These are conflicting project-area statements for the adjacent facility scope and should not be treated as interchangeable without parcel-level confirmation. This is a separate project adjacent to Greensville.

LNG facility planned for fourth-quarter 2027 operations; station emissions expected to remain unchanged

SCC application anticipates adjacent LNG-facility operations during fourth quarter of 2027. It states that the LNG project is a backup fuel source rather than a new generating facility and that Greensville station emissions would remain unchanged, eliminating the need for a major permit modification. This applies to the adjacent LNG facility, not the power station itself.
