Project Overview

The 200 MW / 800 MWh Scarlet Energy Storage facility will provide energy and capacity services to the Dominion Energy grid, enhancing reliability. The project will abide by the most stringent national design and safety standards to ensure it operates predictably and maximizes benefits to Dominion Energy and the Fredericksburg area.  

Construction of the Scarlet Energy Storage facility is anticipated to start in late 2027. The 2029 completion of the facility will ensure that Virginia meets its reliability needs and reaches its goal to deploy 16,000 MW of battery energy storage by 2045, as mandated by Senate Bill 448.  

Situated along a Spotsylvania County Electric Transmission Corridor feeding the Chancellor Substation, the site’s location minimizes environmental impacts. Scarlet’s site location is optimal for energy infrastructure as it does not require long transmission lines to connect the facility to the power grid and is conducive to surrounding land uses.
