Dominion Energy dismisses attempts by groups to halt offshore wind construction

Three groups filed a preliminary injunction to prevent Dominion from commencing construction on the project.

Three public interest groups are claiming a legal victory of sorts, saying their actions have led to at least a temporary delay in Dominion Energy’s efforts to begin construction on Virginia’s major offshore wind project – but Dominion disagrees.

The Heartland Institute, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow and the National Legal and Policy Center have taken action against Dominion several times now regarding the project.

They filed a lawsuit in March, alleging that federal agencies, as part of their environmental assessment of the project, neglected to perform a full analysis of the harm that could come to the endangered North American right whale. In early April, they filed a Freedom of Information Act request for documents detailing Dominion Energy’s plans to mitigate any harm their project might cause to the endangered North Atlantic right whale and other protected marine species.

On Monday, they filed a preliminary injunction to prevent Dominion from commencing construction on the project until some of the concerns in the lawsuit had been addressed.
