Diane Leopold, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and President of Contracted Energy at Dominion Energy, has recently discussed the company's offshore wind project and demand growth. On Dominion Energy's Q1 2025 earnings call, she stated that all raw materials for the project have been purchased, fabrication is on or ahead of schedule, and deliveries are proceeding. She also addressed questions about potential work stoppages, saying the company would evaluate specific facts and circumstances if one occurred but expressing confidence the project would continue. In a March 2024 keynote at the UNC Cleantech Summit, Leopold described the company's projections for data center load to more than double in eight years and noted that peak summer load in its region is expected to grow at 5.5% per year for the next decade, which she characterized as the most significant demand growth in the company's history. Leopold has also spoken about the broader energy transition and Dominion's sustainability efforts. In a 2023 podcast, she discussed the company's goal of becoming the most sustainable energy company in America, describing its work on solar, offshore wind, advanced nuclear, hydrogen blending, and renewable natural gas. At an Aspen Ideas: Climate plenary that same year, she said the power sector has led US greenhouse gas reductions and outlined steps including coal-to-gas conversion and renewable deployment. Earlier, in 2020, she announced Dominion's commitment to achieve net zero emissions across its electric and natural gas operations by 2050, noting the company had already cut carbon emissions in half since 2005.
