| Abstract: | The article focuses on Dominion Energy's strategies to manage the anticipated surge in power demand driven by the growth of data centers and artificial intelligence. As data centers are projected to significantly increase Virginia's power demand, Dominion Energy is modernizing its grid planning and investing in new technologies to ensure reliable power delivery. A key innovation is the Hosting Capacity Analysis tool, developed in collaboration with Simple Thread and Right Analytics, which streamlines the analysis of the transmission grid's capacity to accommodate new loads, reducing the time required for such assessments from weeks to hours. This tool not only aids in planning for new demand but also has potential applications for integrating clean energy generation, aligning with broader sustainability goals.
