At the very least, utilities will need plans that can get them most of the way there, while rushing ahead with next-generation technologies: long-duration energy storage, small modular nuclear reactors or green hydrogen and methane to fuel natural gas peaker plants. Here's a look at the five largest U.S. Dominion Energy.

Wind and solar accounted for 14 per cent of US electricity, with hydropower accounting for six per cent, and geothermal sources just under one per cent. However, the EIA also revealed that while the use of renewables was rising, so too is the country's reliance on natural gas, which generated 39 per cent of US electricity last year.

For Dominion Virginia, this will mean securing enough renewables to replace coal plants that supply roughly one-quarter of its electricity, and natural gas plants that supply about another third. Those existing renewables are largely hydropower and biomass. Dominion also gets more than one-third of its energy from nuclear power.
