Dominion to present annual report on North Anna Power Station to Louisa Supervisors

The seven-member Board of Supervisors in Louisa County will begin their March 4 meeting at 4 p.m. with a discussion of the recommended operating and capital budget for Fiscal Year 2025. The document is not yet available, but you can likely see it on the budget page when it is posted. Supervisors meet in the Louisa County Public Meeting Room. (meeting info)

The regular meeting begins at 5 p.m. with a closed session, followed by an open session at 6 p.m. (meeting info)

One presentation to note is that March 3 through March 9 is Women in Construction Week. There’s nothing included in the packet, but take a look at the website for more information.  

Under information / discussion items, there will be a presentation from the Louisa Historical Society as well as the Louisa Arts Center. These items are not available in advance. 

Under new business, there will be a resolution to approve a lease with the Virginia Resources Authority. This is related to the financing for several projects including construction of water and sewer infrastructure in the Shannon Hill Growth Area and two turf fields at Louisa County Middle School. (review the resolution)

There are two items under public hearings, though one is a presentation from Dominion Energy on the State of the Station, referring to the Lake Anna nuclear power plant. There’s a 17-page written report.

“Operating performance for North Anna in 2023 resulted in a combined capacity factor of 95.5 percent,” read a section of the report. 

There is also a public hearing on a resolution to amend the county’s Land Development Regulations related to Lake Anna Shoreline Use and Design Standards as well as Site Design and Architectural Guidelines for Growth Area Overlay Standards. 

The former are being repealed. 

“Since Dominion has authority over all projects on Dominion property at Lake Anna through revocable use agreements, staff recommends repeal of the Lake Anna Shoreline Use and Design Standards ordinance sections 86-656(b) through (c) to decrease unnecessary County involvement,” reads the staff report.
