- SELC appeals to state supreme court over SCC approval of Dominion’s Chesterfield gas plant
The Southern Environmental Law Center and advocacy groups filed an appeal to Virginia's Supreme Court over the State Corporation Commission's approval of Dominion Energy's Chesterfield Energy Reliability Center, a natural gas plant opposed for environmental justice concerns and alleged violations of the Virginia Clean Economy Act. The groups argue the SCC failed to properly analyze disproportionate impacts on communities and allowed cost recovery without meeting energy efficiency requirements.
