Dominion Files Utility Request for Data Center
Dominion
The South Carolina Public Service Commission has approved a new data center rate class for Dominion Energy, signaling the utility's strategic positioning to support hyperscaler demand in the region. This regulatory approval establishes specialized utility rates and infrastructure frameworks tailored for data center operations, enabling Dominion to compete for major colocation and cloud infrastructure projects. The move reflects broader industry momentum as utilities nationwide develop dedicated rate structures to attract data center investment, particularly from hyperscalers like Google, AWS, and Microsoft seeking reliable power partners.
