As the days grow longer and the chill of winter begins to fade, the arrival of spring brings a renewed sense of energy and change. While the transition means warmer afternoons and blooming landscapes, it also highlights the importance of a reliable utility provider to keep our homes running smoothly—whether we’re adjusting thermostats, preparing for the unpredictable spring weather, or embracing the longer daylight hours, a reliable provider is essential.
For millions of residents throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Dominion Energy stands as that dependable partner.
Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Dominion Energy has built a successful reputation in the utility energy industry. According to Dominion, they “provide regulated electricity to 3.6 million homes and businesses in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and regulated natural gas service to 500,000 customers in South Carolina.”
Extending beyond conventional utility services, today, they are recognized as “one of the nation’s leading developers and operators of regulated offshore wind and solar power and the largest producer of carbon-free electricity in New England,” highlighting their dedication to sustainable practices and positioning them as a driving force in the renewable energy sector.
For almost 20 years, Timmons Group and Dutton + Associates, a Timmons Group company, have partnered on over 130 projects, providing environmental and cultural resources services in support of Dominion’s mission of delivering reliable, affordable, and clean energy.
From permitting and due diligence to assessing historic sites or navigating complex regulations, our team is there every step of the way. Here’s a glimpse at some of the ways we support their work:
- Permitting — Making sure projects meet state and federal regulations
- Due Diligence — Identifying environmental and cultural considerations early on
- Archaeology — Surveying and assessing historical sites before development begins
- Architectural history — Documenting and evaluating historic structures
- Historic preservation planning — Incorporating cultural heritage into projects
- Regulatory compliance — Navigating the red tape to keep projects moving forward
These services are critical for projects ranging from new and expanded transmission lines to renewable energy for our communities. Our interdisciplinary approach allows us to anticipate challenges, provide proactive solutions, and deliver a seamless experience for our clients.
Our environmental team stays ahead of policy changes to help mitigate risks, secure permits, and stay compliant with evolving regulations. Meanwhile, our cultural resource specialists work to ensure that historically significant properties, landmarks, and artifacts are preserved and thoughtfully integrated into development plans.
By working together, our teams are able to help build sustainable, forward-thinking projects without losing sight of the history and culture that make each community unique.
Our partnership with Dominion Energy is just one example of how we’re helping to shape the future. By balancing environmental responsibility with practical, real-world solutions, we make sure progress happens in a way that respects both the land and the people who call it home.
We’re excited to see what’s next and to continue playing a role in Dominion Energy’s journey toward a cleaner, more sustainable tomorrow!
