Old Dominion Electric
Cooperative purchased its first generation capacity in 1983, when the
cooperative bought an 11.6-percent undivided interest in the approximately
1,800-megawatt North Anna Nuclear Power Station in Louisa County, Va. In the
late 1980s, the cooperative began work on Clover Power Station, an
880-megawatt coal-fired plant in Halifax County, Va. Old Dominion owns a 50
percent undivided interest in the Clover facility, which became fully
operational in 1995. Also during the 1990s, Old Dominion investigated various options to meet the future power needs of its 12 distribution-cooperative members. In September 1999, Old Dominion requested proposals from wholesale power providers to supply power to meet demand at peak periods. That process resulted in a lack of qualified responses. So Old Dominion moved forward with its “build” option to construct gas-fired combustion turbine units at three locations -- Marsh Run, near Remington, in Fauquier County, VA; Louisa County, VA near Gordonsville; and Rock Springs, in Cecil County, MD. Old Dominion remains committed to providing the most economical and reliable method of meeting our members' wholesale power needs, while doing so in an environmentally responsible manner.
