Dominion Energy is building a major wind project off Virginia, aiming to provide enough clean electricity for 660,000 homes in an area with rising power demand. However, President Trump has put the project and similar ones at risk by signing an executive order that halts new leases in federal waters. The order also directs officials to review existing offshore wind leases and other green energy supports, complicating the outlook for projects like Dominion’s, which may seek expansion on a nearby federal lease.
