When you own 176 offshore wind turbines and commit $50B to grid infrastructure, you don't adapt to market signals. You adapt the market to your depreciation schedule. The AI boom is a gift, driving 5% annual demand growth. But Dominion can only respond one way: build more infrastructure, file for more rate increases, and wait for regulatory approval. They're powering the future while trapped in the physics of the past.
Every rate increase requires state commission approval. Federal stop-work order required litigation and court injunction to restart $11.2B offshore wind project. Decisions move at regulatory speed, not market speed.
Quick legal response to federal challenges, but 16.95% workforce cut suggests reactive cost-cutting. No evidence of killing failed projects. Offshore wind continues despite cost escalations.
Three regulated segments (VA, SC, Contracted Energy), no shared platforms. Knowledge in people, not systems. Serving AI industry but no internal AI adoption visible.
$50.1B capex locked into multi-decade depreciation. 176 offshore wind turbines. Can't exit regulated territories. Every pivot requires stranded asset calculations and regulatory approval.
Traditional utility career paths. COO retirement with internal succession. Limited mobility, people leave rather than redeploy. Glassdoor cites limited career growth.
$50.1B capex over 5 years. $11.2B single project. Revenue per employee $1.08M reflects asset leverage. Can't change direction without stranded assets.
Quarterly earnings cycles, regulatory filing cadence. No real-time dashboards. Glassdoor reviews cite poor and disengaged management, suggesting information filtering.
"You can't pivot when you own 176 offshore wind turbines."
