East Point Energy divests 20 MW/80 MWh Dry Bridge energy storage project in Chesterfield County

East Point Energy, a Virginia-based energy storage developer, has sold the Dry Bridge Energy Storage project to Dominion Energy Virginia in the USA.

The 20 MW/80 MWh Dry Bridge is expected to be the largest battery energy storage project in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The project is expected to be operational in 2022. Located in Chesterfield County, Dry Bridge energy storage will be an essential component of Dominion Energy’s 100% clean energy future.

Dominion Energy acquired the Dry Bridge project as part of the company’s 2020 Clean Energy Request for Proposals. Under the Virginia Clean Economy Act, Dominion Energy will build or procure 2,700 MW of energy storage capacity by 2035 and must have 100% of its electricity sales in Virginia come from clean energy sources by 2045.
