Energy Capacity

Generation is supply. Deliverability is the constraint. The score below uses operating generation capacity per capita (EIA Form 860), but the panel beneath it shows the demand pressure and interconnection backlog that determine whether announced load can actually be served.

Score formula: see /methodology#energy. For the demand-side view, see /data-centers.

The "generation capacity per capita" rank below is a backward-looking measure of installed plant. It does not capture interconnection queue position, Dominion's substation headroom, or large-load tariff status (Rider CCS, GT-1). Those signals are the binding constraints in 2025–2030.

We poll each docket page weekly and write new filings to filings_and_documents, deduped by document URL. SCC's docket viewer is partially JavaScript-rendered — when no PDF links appear in the HTML, we flag the run as partial and bump last_checked_at, rather than silently report zero filings.

  • PUR-2023-00066 Dominion — Rider CCS (data center class) cost allocation
    checked 2026-07-14

    Sets whether large-load (data center) customers pay marginal cost of new generation/transmission or whether costs spread to other ratepayers. Outcome shapes every county's data-center economics.

  • PUR-2024-00184 Dominion 2024 Integrated Resource Plan
    checked 2026-07-14

    The IRP filing whose load forecast we parse into dominion_load_forecast. Tracking it surfaces SCC staff and intervenor critiques of the demand assumptions.
