The CVOW Commercial Project is a 2.6 GW offshore wind project with estimated total cost of approximately $11.7 billion, excluding financing costs and including $0.1 billion of contingency; completion of final turbine installations is expected by the end of 2027. The estimate is unchanged from Virginia Power’s July 2026 construction update and is approximately $0.4 billion below its January 2026 estimate, reflecting revised onshore interconnection and PJM network-upgrade costs. Relative to the January estimate, updated turbine installation projections and other installation factors added approximately $0.4 billion, while the expected net tariff impact increased project cost by approximately $0.1 billion. Through October 2026, 143 of 176 interarray cable segments and 44 of 176 turbines had been installed, and the first turbines and associated infrastructure began operating in March 2026.
Key facts
- The estimated total cost of the CVOW Commercial Project is approximately $11.7 billion, excluding financing costs and including $0.1 billion of contingency.
- The CVOW Commercial Project’s expected total cost was unchanged from Virginia Power’s July 2026 construction update and decreased approximately $0.4 billion relative to its January 2026 construction update due to revised projected onshore interconnection and PJM network upgrade costs.
