# Power Supply Chain and Demand in Virginia

PJM runs most of Virginia's grid. 7,373 MW of new generation is planned in Virginia, 3,611 MW of it under construction or built and awaiting operation, against 475 MW of planned retirements through 2030. 825 data centers are identified in the state, with 70,532 MW of data center load in tracked grid queues. Residential electricity averaged 16.83¢/kWh in 2026 through July, +13.1% from a year earlier. Unemployment was 3.6% in August 2026, and construction employment is +11.4% against August 2019. The SAVRN trackers hold 13 local moratoria or restrictions for Virginia across all statuses (11 in force) and 58 named projects on the Delay Watchlist.

## What the build-out changed in Virginia

Virginia is at the center of the build-out: the demand is here and the construction economy has moved with it. Developers have announced $213.4B of data center capital in Virginia, 1st among the 31 states with a disclosed figure. 70,532 MW of data center load is waiting in Virginia's grid queues, 1st of the 11 states where SAVRN tracks data center queue load. The data center industry now accounts for 3.9% of Virginia's economy, the 3rd largest share of any state (the median state is 1.8%), counting the industry's in-state suppliers and payrolls. Households pay part of the cost: residential prices are +13.1% year to date, the 4th fastest increase of 51. Factory employment is the exception: manufacturing jobs are -4.9% against August 2019.

### Manufacturers and contractors with a recorded Virginia footprint 

| Tier | Company | Segment | What the record says |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grid equipment OEM | Hitachi Energy | Power transformers, HV equipment | $528 million transformer factory in Mississippi (production 2029) plus $457 million South Boston, VA; ~$1.5 billion total U.S. transformer commitments |

### Order-by check derived 

16 of the 21 planned units of 50 MW or more in Virginia that are not yet under construction (2,559 of 3,562 MW) are past the date their step-up transformer had to be ordered to meet the planned in-service date, and 4 gas units are (1,000 MW) past the turbine order date as well. These units hold their schedules only if the equipment is already on order.

Local moratoria and restrictions (13) appear by county and city in the county-by-county section. Counts include every status in the weekly tracker feeds as of October 5, 2026. The [Virginia Data Center Map page](https://savrn.com/data-center-map/virginia) counts only active local pauses and delayed or blocked projects as of its September 2 rebuild, so its figures are lower. The difference is one of definition and date.

### Who runs the power grid in Virginia?

PJM serves most of Virginia as the regional wholesale market and grid operator. 70,532 MW of data center load sits in tracked queues, 1st in the country.

### How much do data centers add to the Virginia economy?

PwC's 2026 study for the Data Center Coalition credits the industry with 169,560 in-state jobs, $29.9B of GDP (3.9% of the state economy, 3rd of 51) and $2.7B in state and local taxes in 2024. These are modeled estimates commissioned by the industry.

### Which data center projects are delayed in Virginia?

The SAVRN Delay Watchlist names 58 projects in Virginia, among them Balico Pittsylvania County (3,500 MW), Prince William Digital Gateway (PW Digital Gateway) (1,700 MW), Mountain Road Technology Park (Tract) (900 MW).

### Is the build-out creating trade jobs in Virginia?

Construction employment is +11.4% against August 2019. Electrical contractor jobs went from 27,967 in 2019 to 37,300 in 2025 (+33.4%, 9th in the country).
