Project Overview

The 200 MW / 400 MWh Scarlet Energy Storage facility will provide energy and capacity services to the Dominion Energy grid. Northern Virginia is home to the largest concentration of data centers in the world. Over the next 6 years, PJM predicts that data centers will increase peak power demand in the area by 50%. Scarlet Energy Storage will help Dominion navigate this staggering load growth, helping to keep the power on by enhancing grid reliability.  

The project will abide by the most stringent design and cutting-edge safety standards to ensure the project maximizes benefits to Dominion Energy and the Fredericksburg area. Construction of the Scarlet Energy Storage facility is anticipated to start in 2029. The 2030 completion of the facility will ensure that Virginia meets its capacity needs and reaches its goal to deploy 2,700 MW of battery energy storage by 2035. 

Situated along a major transmission corridor feeding the Chancellor Substation, the site’s location minimizes environmental impacts. Scarlet’s site location is optimal for new energy infrastructure as it does not require long transmission lines to connect the facility to the power grid and is conducive to surrounding land uses.
