Dominion Energy: 20 More Years to Mull Nuclear Power at North Anna

## Summary

Dominion Energy Virginia wants to renew its early site permit for the North Anna nuclear site in Louisa County, extending it 20 more years past the current expiration in November 2027. This renewal lets them keep the option open to build or update nuclear facilities there without starting from scratch. The public can check out the application starting July 2026 and stay tuned for updates over the next few weeks.

## Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is providing public notice each week, for four consecutive weeks, of receipt and availability of an application for renewal of early site permit (ESP) ESP-003 for the North Anna ESP site from Virginia Electric and Power Company, doing business as (dba) Dominion Energy Virginia. Renewal of the ESP would allow the licensee to reference ESP-003 in a construction permit (CP) or combined license (COL) application for an additional 20- year period beyond the period specified in the ESP. The location for the North Anna ESP site is in Louisa County, Virginia, and the current ESP-003 expires on November 27, 2027.
