LCG, April 29, 2025--Officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) today outlining the state’s plans to administer programs related to carbon storage wells, known as Class VI wells. The MOA signing is a required step in the RRC’s application to be granted authority to permit Class VI wells in the state of Texas. EPA is currently preparing a proposed approval of RRC’s primacy application.

LCG, April 24, 2025--Exxon Mobil Corporation (ExxonMobil) announced yesterday an agreement with Calpine Corporation (Calpine) to transport and permanently store up to 2 million metric tons per annum (MTA) of CO2 from Calpine’s Baytown Energy Center, a natural gas-fired facility located near Houston, Texas. This is part of Calpine’s Baytown Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project that is designed to add CCS for the facility’s CO2 emissions. The Calpine facility could then provide a 24/7 supply of low-carbon electricity to the Texas grid plus steam to nearby industrial facilities.

Dominion Announces Plans to Construct 1,600-MW Natural Gas-fired Power Plant in Virginia
LCG, April 8, 2015--Dominion Virginia Power recently announced its proposal to construct a 1,600-MW natural gas-fueled power station in Greensville County, Virginia. The facility, which is estimated to cost of over $1 billion, is scheduled to commence operations in 2019. The additional electric generating capacity is needed to serve the growing electric demand in the region.
Dominion Virginia Power plans to submit its application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to the State Corporation Commission (SCC) in July. Construction would begin in mid- 2016, subject to SCC and environmental approvals.
Last November Dominion issued a request for proposals (RFP) to begin delivery of electricity in the 2019/2020 timeframe. After evaluating the proposals, Dominion decided that constructing the power station in Greensville County would be the most beneficial to its customers.
The proposed combined-cycle facility design calls for three gas-fired combustion turbines and a steam turbine. The facility will be built on an 1,143-acre site that straddles the Greensville/Brunswick County line, with 740 acres in Greensville County. The applications also seek to have the site approved for the construction of a future large-scale solar project.
Natural gas delivery to the new power plant will be via a Williams' Transco pipeline extension to the site and the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) that will cross the station property when that pipeline is built. The two interconnections are desired so as to improve operational reliability by providing flexibility and redundancy in procuring the station's fuel supply and providing fuel supply diversity.
Dominion is already constructing a 1,300-MW combined-cycle power station in Brunswick County that is approximately 58 percent complete.
