Why are data centers so noisy? Loose rules, pricey solutions, critics say By Christopher Connell
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
When people buy homes under the flight path to an airport, their complaints about the noise may fall on deaf ears. But some residents of Prince William County never bargained for the constant, annoying buzz from a new data center near their neighborhood and others in Fauquier are concerned about another data center slated for Warrenton. Why can’t the data centers be made quieter? The answer, experts on noise reduction say, is that they could be, but regulation by municipalities and counties is often lax and
dampening the din is expensive. “This is the 21st century; we do have the technology to significantly quiet them,” said Les Blomberg, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Noise Pollution Clearinghouse. “The way to alleviate noise is there,” said Arline Bronzaft, professor emerita of psychology at the City University of New York and lifelong champion of noise reduction. “It isn’t rocket science. What is lacking is the will.” She said she believes people must band together to keep the pressure on local governments to tighten and enforce strict standards. See DATA CENTERS, page 6

Police chief: 14 guns confiscated in schools over last 2 years By Cher Muzyk and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writers
Prince William police confiscated 14 guns from county schools over the last two years, including nine during the 2021-22 school year and five, so far, this year, Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham told school board Prince William County members Tuesday. Police Chief Peter “That is five too Newsham many,” Newsham said, referring to the guns taken from schools since late August. “I know that is very concerning for everyone to hear.” The number of weapons confiscated by police across Prince William County’s more than 100 schools was among the information Newsham shared Tuesday, Nov. 15, during his first presentation to the school board on the status of school security.

Police chief: 14 guns confiscated in schools over last 2 years SECURITY, from page 1 The briefing, made at the request of school board members, included the number of arrests made at schools over the past two years, the number of “school resource officers” assigned to patrol schools and a general overview of school security procedures. School security staff also explained that the division has beefed up security in school buildings this year by adding 104 full-time positions dedicated to school safety. The bulk of those positions – 97 – are new security assistants who were added to schools this year, mostly at the elementary school level.
Shootings, weapons, threats
Newsham did not offer details about where the 14 guns were confiscated or from whom. There have been no shootings at Prince William County schools this year, but two were reported last year during afterschool, extracurricular athletic events, only one of which was school sponsored. In August 2021, two students, a 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl, were injured when shots were fired outside Freedom High School during a football game. A 17-year-old Prince William County student was later arrested in connection with that incident. On May 1, two men were injured during a shooting that occurred during a Sunday morning flag football game at Benton Middle School. A Dumfries man was later arrested in connection with that incident. In addition to the five guns confiscated at schools this year, seven other weapons were recovered, including one stun gun, four knives and two razor/box cutters, Newsham said. Last school year, a total of 24 weapons were removed from schools, including the nine guns, Newsham said. Regarding arrests, Newsham said there have been five arrests in schools this year and 14 last year. Last year’s arrests included 10 juveniles and four adults. The five arrests this school year involved three juveniles and two adults, he said. All other incidents have been handled by school administration through disciplinary procedures or processes through Prince William County’s Juvenile Court Services Unit, he said. Newsham said that for the size of the county’s 90,000-student school division, five arrests is a “very, very low number.” But the school division has also investigated 46 threats since the beginning of the school year, which Newsham called a “significant number” that is “concerning.” The threats are “very disruptive for children,” and “can be traumatic to kids to have to experience those threats or to have to see those threats,”
In addition to the five guns confiscated at schools this year, seven other weapons were recovered, including one stun gun, four knives and two razor/ box cutters, Newsham said. Last school year, a total of 24 weapons were removed from schools, including the nine guns, Newsham said. Newsham said. “And I think we have to take the threats very, very seriously.” Last school year, police investigated 124 threats. Newsham said the majority of threats come from students, and that police have been able to determine “exactly where the threat[s] came from” in most cases. When a threat is investigated, police officers speak to students involved with a parent present. If a weapon is mentioned in the threat, “oftentimes parents will give us consent to search the student’s room,” he added.
School Resource Officers
Prince William County police currently have 24 sworn officers working as full-time “school resource officers” in local schools, which Newsham said “is a couple more than we had last year.” Staffing constraints, however, have kept the police department from having full-time SROs in each of the county’s middle and high schools, which has been the goal over the last few years. This year, each of the county’s 13 high schools has a full-time SRO as do three middle schools: Fred Lynn Middle and Rippon Middle, both in Woodbridge, and Parkside Middle, in Manassas. The county’s Independence Nontraditional School has two school resource officers, and the remaining six rotate among the county’s 18 other middle schools, Newsham said. The SROs are supposed to stop at each of the schools at least once a day and are charged with developing relationships with the principals to “ensure that those places are safe,” Newsham said. When a specific threat is identified at a school, Newsham said, the patrol division is alerted and “can give special attention to our schools.” Newsham said he believes the SRO program is working in a “positive way,” adding: “I feel very good about our school resource officer program.” Newsham also commented on the memorandum of understanding the county police signed with school division officials last year regarding how matters of school discipline are handled by principals and SROs. The MOU stresses that most matters of school discipline should be handled by school administrators – not police – to address
concerns about student behavior resulting in criminal charges, which is sometimes referred to as the “school to prison pipeline.” Newsham acknowledged that Prince William County schools have had problems in the past with too many students being arrested for minor infractions, such as disorderly conduct in schools. But the Virginia General Assembly’s move to eliminate the school-based disorderly conduct charge, as well as the new practices outlined in the MOU, have largely eliminated that problem, he said. Newsham said he is generally opposed to arresting students for school discipline issues. “In my opinion, if a student has already shown up for school, they’ve already done something good,” he said. “And we don’t want to take them out of that environment in handcuffs unless it is absolutely necessary.”
Everyday security procedures
To keep schools safe, new initiatives have been put into place this year along with division-wide security protocols, said Ron Crowe, Prince William County Schools director of risk management and security services. “We don’t have time when there is an event to get into a secure posture; we need to already be in a secure posture,” Crowe said. As a matter of course, interior and exterior doors are locked both during school days and when the school is vacant, he said, and access to schools is controlled at the main entrances with an intercom system. Visitors must wear badges so they are easily identified, he said. Crisis plans are in place at all schools, and all schools must complete 15 mandated crisis drills each year, he said. Students and staff are also required to watch a crisis management and response training video, Crowe said. Recently, security protocols have been standardized at all varsity football games and after-school events, which include a visible security presence, Crowe said. Lockdown shades have been installed at 52 elementary schools and the remaining will be completed this year. New weapons-free and gun-free zone signage has been hung at schools, Crowe said. The school division aims to have a consistent, visible, and well-trained security staff throughout the entire school system, Crowe said. Starting this year, the school division provided security uniforms for all school security officers. “We want them to be visible and recognized by our staff, students and community when they show up and also our law enforcement partners if they have to respond,” Crowe said. All school security officers are provided with 36 hours of professional training annually, including how to use NARCAN, Crowe said. Reach Jill Palermo and Cher Muzyk at news@ fauquier.com

Manassas School Board mulls weapon-detection system for Osbourn High By Cher Muzyk
Times Staff Writer
Manassas City School Board is considering installing a weapons detection system at Osbourn High School but decided last week to delay a final vote after several board members voiced reservations about the system’s effectiveness and its possible impacts on students. The City of Manassas school board, which has just one high school, is considering leasing four “Evolv Express” lanes with “situational awareness” cameras for Osbourn High. The security system would be leased for four years at a cost of $435,735, according to school division records. The Evolv Express detectors are different than traditional metal detectors in that they operate 10 times faster and require no stopping, emptying of pockets or removing bags, according to the company’s website. The system is “touchless” and uses “sensors and artificial intelligence to distinguish everyday items from weapons as people are screened,” the Evolv website says. The speed of the system and its ease of use is key because more than 2,000 Osbourn High students would have to walk through the checkpoints each day in a span of just 15 minutes, said Andy Hawkins, Manassas City Public Schools’ executive director of

The checkpoints would connect to the Internet from their own servers and require only electricity to operate, Hawkins said. “This is the least intrusive method that we have right now for students to be able to come through freely with the least amount of trauma that we can provide with the technology that’s available at this time,” Hawkins said during the board’s Nov. 8 meeting. Osbourn High students would have to be trained to go through the checkpoints to reduce false alarms. For example, students would be advised to carry their backpacks and possibly hold their laptops rather than having them in book bags when they walk through the checkpoints, Hawkins said.

like we do.” Board member Carl Hollingsworth said he considers the idea a “no-brainer,” explaining that he is in favor of an “extra layer of security” for students and faculty. He also noted that people can adapt to new security protocols just like airline travelers have. The school board decided to do more research regarding the effectiveness of the Evolv Express systems by possibly visiting a school in Dorchester County, Maryland that already uses the Evolv checkpoints. The school board also plans to gather information on the psychological or emotional impacts students could experience as a result of attending a school equipped with weapon detectors. No Prince William County schools currently utilize weapon detection systems. The Evolv Express systems have been installed at more than 200 schools and at 70 hospitals, stadiums, performing arts centers, places of worship and theme parks across the country. The systems have been credited with stopping more than 100,000 weapons from entering those places, according to an Evolv news release. Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com

If a security hit occurs, a student would be diverted to a “resolution table” where school staff, not security guards, would assist the student, Hawkins said. The sensitivity level of the device is adjustable, Hawkins said, which would allow staff to keep detection levels lower to minimize false alarms or to increase them to the highest setting in the case of an identified threat, such as a troubling social media post. During the school board’s Nov. 8 meeting, members discussed the benefits of the detection systems while weighing the anxiety or trauma that walking through such checkpoints might cause for Osbourn High students, some of whom are as young as 14. Board member Jill Spall said she was excited about the idea because she wants to protect teachers and students but has concerns about the stress caused by being pulled aside or detained at the resolution desk over a false alarm. “From my experience over this last year, we do not have a gun problem at Osbourn or Manassas City Public Schools. We do have a nationwide mass shooting problem. There’s no question about it,” Spall said, adding: “I’m happy to have this [decision] delayed because I do not think that we have a problem in our schools, and so I don’t want it to look

Judge dismisses lawsuit over supervisor’s Facebook page By Cher Muzyk
Time Staff Writer
Supervisor Pete Candland
A federal judge has granted Prince William County Supervisor Pete Candland’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed against him by a constituent who alleged Candland violated his rights to free speech by temporarily hiding a comment he left on Candland’s official Facebook page. However, the judge also left the door open for plaintiff Patrick Harders, of Gainesville, to refile his lawsuit by Nov. 25. Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, ordered on Nov.
10 that the lawsuit would be dismissed in its entirety unless Harders filed an amended complaint within 15 days. Harders initially filed the federal lawsuit in July, alleging Candland, R-Gainesville, deleted or hid comments Harders made in response to a post Candland made about his Patriots Day celebration at Catharpin Park. Because Candland is an elected official, and the page is used for “back and forth communications” with the public, the lawsuit argued that removing the comments violated Harders’ federal and state rights to free speech. Candland’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit argued that Harders’ com-
plaint failed because it did not allege that Candland personally hid the two comments or that Candland had “supervisory liability for a government employee who did.” In an interview with the Prince William Times, on Tuesday Nov. 15, Harders said his attorney is already working on the amended complaint and that it will be expanded “to really list out everything that happened.” Harders also said it will be filed on time and that he expects to be back in federal court for another hearing on the matter in the coming weeks.

Police: Woodbridge man, 44, fatally shot in Dumfries
Incident is county’s 16th homicide of 2022
Prince William County police have identified a man shot and killed while driving in the Williamstown area of Dumfries early Saturday morning as Demetrious Levar Graham, 44, of Woodbridge. Graham was found dead at 5:35 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, while sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle that had struck a parked car on Morgan Court, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok a Prince William County police spokesman. Police have not yet announced an arrest. The incident marked Prince William County’s 16th homicide of 2022, Perok said. Prince William County police were called to the area of Williamstown Road and Old Triangle Road after “multiple callers” reported gunshots heard in the area, Perok said in a news release. Police arrived to find Graham
suffering from gunshot wounds. The vehicle was not in park when it was found and had apparently crashed into a parked car, Perok said in an email. Rescue personnel responded and pronounced Graham dead on scene, according to a news release. A police K-9 also responded and searched the area, but no other parties were located, the release said. Police detectives are actively investigating to determine what led up to the shooting and want to speak with anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information as to what occurred. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Prince William County Police Department tipline at 703792-7000 or submit a web tip to: pwcva.gov/policetip. The incident is the county’s 16th homicide of 2022. There were 10 homicides in 2021 and eight in 2020. The county saw homicides spike to their highest level in 2016 with 22, according to county police records.
POLICE BRIEF Police: 16-year-old Triangle boy charged in April carnival shooting A 16-year-old Triangle boy has been arrested in connection with the April shooting at a carnival outside Gar-Field High School that left a 14-year-old girl injured, according to police. On Wednesday, Nov. 9, detectives with Prince William County’s violent crimes bureau concluded their investigation into the April 15 shooting that occurred outside Gar-Field High School, 14000 Smoketown Road in Woodbridge, during a community carnival. The investigation revealed the teen fired multiple rounds while in the parking lot of the school outside the carnival, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman. The rounds struck an unintended LAWSUIT, from page 4 Candland did not respond to a recent request for comment but said in a July email, that: “To the best of my knowledge, no comment has ever been deleted from the Supervisor Pete Candland Facebook page, and no person has ever been banned from accessing the page.” Candland also said at the time that his staff manages his official Facebook page, and he was “working with them to try and gather more information.” Harders’ first lawsuit did not list a specific dollar amount for damages requested but sought “nominal” compensatory damages and costs as well as punitive damages alleging that Candland’s conduct was either intentional or reckless. With regard to his amended lawsuit, Harders said: “There’s really nothing we’re seeking out of it be-
victim, a 14-year-old girl, who was also in the parking lot. “Detectives worked diligently to identify the suspect,” Carr said in a news release. Additionally, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives provided assistance during the investigation and offered a reward. The teen has not been identified because he is a juvenile. He remains incarcerated at the Prince William County Juvenile Detention Center, where he was being held on unrelated charges. The teen has been charged with malicious wounding, possession of firearm by a juvenile, discharging a firearm while on school property, discharging a firearm in a public place resulting in bodily injury, the release said. sides … if nobody’s investigating our politicians and nobody’s calling them out, then they just get away with it.” Harders is among the Gainesville residents leading the effort to collect signatures on a petition to recall Candland from office over his stake in the Prince William Digital Gateway, a controversial plan to open the county’s protected rural crescent to a new data center corridor along Pageland Lane. The recall petition charges that Candland is neglecting his duty and misusing his office as a result of his personal financial interest in the Prince William Digital Gateway plan. Candland and his wife Robyn own a home and 5.7 acres that are under contract to sell to Compass data centers for an estimated $900,000 to $1 million an acre if the company’s rezoning application is approved.

Why are data centers still so noisy? DATA CENTERS, from page 1 When companies store data “in the cloud,” that data is actually kept in machines somewhere. It takes these data centers, which are packed with racks of constantly running computer servers, to allow people to stream movies, play interactive games, deposit checks and download their family photos. The big fans and water-thirsty air conditioners needed to keep the servers from overheating produce the whirring noise that puts outsiders on edge. The fans that blow the heat out can be wrapped with blankets or other materials to quiet them. But that remediation can cost millions, and unless regulators apply pressure, companies may be slow to do it. As the green light Prince William County just gave for converting part of the area known as the “rural crescent” to allow data centers attests, the prospect of lucrative tax revenues and jobs may hold more sway with supervisors than residents’ complaints about noise.

Nokesville vets open Vint Hill clinic with an eye toward service By Aimee O’Grady Contributing Writer
When Nokesville veterinarians Kent Smith and Andrea Ballou opened the new Willow Animal Hospital at Vint Hill earlier this fall, they didn’t have to look far for their first patients. They came from a colony of feral cats living in the bushes behind their building. The cats were being looked after by a group of volunteers who call themselves the “Covert Cat Ladies,” said Jessica Christian, a Willow Animal Hospital nurse. Smith and Ballou embrace the idea of “TNR,” or trapping, neutering and releasing feral cats back to their colonies. The approach has been controversial because of the threat feral cats, which are sometimes called “community cats,” pose to birds and other wildlife. Advocates, however, see it as a humane way to reduce the population of feral cats. At Willow Animal Hospital, TNR is seen as a way to help manage both the feral cat and rodent populations while also caring for vulnerable animals. So, three of the feral cats – Panda, Midge and Ruby – became the clinic’s first TNR patients, Christian said. “I thought it was perfect we were coming to a location that already had a colony established,” Christian said. “I feel like the cats helped seal the deal with Willow.” Willow Animal Hospital, which opened in mid-September, also works with lower-income, pet-owning families on veterinary care for their pets, Smith said. “We want to make sure every family that has a pet member has access to affordable pet care,” Smith added, explaining that the clinic aims to make spay/neuter services and routine vaccines affordable for all pets.
Willow Animal Hospital offers general and emergency care for small animals during its regular business hours and helps with after-hours emergency care when needed. Ballou’s specialty is canine rehabilitation, which is uniquely available at the new clinic. The service is equivalent to human physical therapy for dogs recovering from injury or surgery. Ballou received advanced laser- and hands-on therapy certification for her rehabilitation services. Smith had been considering Vint Hill as a possible location for a new clinic for several years. Between the cat colony welcoming committee and the dog park just down the road, all signs pointed to it being an ideal location, he said. “This community could benefit from a veterinary clinic. Overall, [Fauquier] county has been warm and welcoming to our business. We are very excited to be part of the Vint Hill community and provide the highest standard of care veterinary services with compassion,” he said. Smith lives in Nokesville with his daughter, Averi, on a small farm with dogs, cats, miniature donkeys, horses and goats. He grew up in Manassas and has had a lifelong fascination with animals. Smith began volunteering at Battlefield Animal Clinic when he was 12, riding his bicycle there, rain or shine. He was eventually hired by Morganna Animal Clinic in Manassas, where he advanced from kennel assistant to veterinary technician. Smith graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in biology and went on to attend veterinary school at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. Throughout his career, Smith said he has looked beyond his practice to the community to offer veterinary services. He has traveled to im-

Ballou has a similar lifelong interest in animals and has owned dogs, cats, gerbils, guinea pigs and a ball python. She began as a kennel attendant and shadowed at a local veterinary clinic while earning her bachelor’s degree at Oklahoma State University. She then earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Missouri, where she pursued extra courses in ultrasound and animal behavior. She earned a Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner certificate through the University of Tennessee in 2017. Ballou lives in Nokesville with her husband, their three dogs and two cats.

Volunteer PW kicks off untrim-a-tree gift collection for local kids By Jan Hawkins
Contributing Writer
It’s all about “a kid and a toy!” Volunteer Prince William’s Untrim a Tree program is helping children in greater Prince William have a merry Christmas. Last year, more than 3,400 children had gifts on Christmas morning thanks to this community effort. Here’s how to help bring smiles to local children’s faces again this Christmas. It’s super easy: Visit www.volunteerprincewilliam.org/donate/ to download and submit a donor form. Shop for your child once you get their wish list. Drop off your unwrapped gifts at our Untrim a Tree site in Manassas Park between Dec. 8 to 11. Senior baskets/gift bags are also needed to help homebound senior citizens have a happy holiday. Email utat@volunteerprincewilliam. org to learn more. Volunteer Prince William is also participating in the 76th Greater Manassas Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 3. As we walk the parade route, we’ll accept donations of new, unwrapped toys for Untrim a Tree. It’s a fun way to enjoy parade and donate to make Christmas happen for a local child. Email utat@volunteerprincewilliam.org for more information. A special thank you to our float sponsor Net Connect Inc. The hard-working friends at Boxes of Basics need volunteers
age 18-plus to help sort and organize clothing donations. Duties include packing Boxes of Basics for local children, selecting and wrapping outfits and more.

Decorations can be homemade or pur-
chased, and as simple or as complex as you would like. Regardless of what you choose to do, you are making a world of difference for residents and staff. CRi has homes in Richmond, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties. For more information and to express interest, please email Janet at jdavison@mycri.org.

PUR-2022-00124 • Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has submitted its 2022 Renewable Portfolio Standard (“RPS”) filing (“2022 RPS Filing”). The 2022 RPS Filing includes Dominion’s RPS Development Plan and requests for approval to construct eight new utility-scale projects and to enter into 13 new power purchase agreements. • Dominion requests approval of revised Rider CE with a revenue requirement of $89,154,000 over the rate year beginning May 1, 2023, and concluding April 30, 2024. According to Dominion, this amount would increase a typical residential customer’s bill using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by $0.38. • The State Corporation Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on January 30, 2023, at 10 a.m., for the receipt of public witness testimony. • The Commission will hold an evidentiary hearing in this case on January 31, 2023, at 10 a.m. • Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information. During its 2020 Session, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Chapters 1193 (HB 1526) and 1194 (SB 851) of the 2020 Virginia Acts of Assembly. These duplicate Acts of Assembly, known as the Virginia Clean Economy Act (“VCEA”), became effective on July 1, 2020. The VCEA, inter alia, establishes a mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard (“RPS”) program (“RPS Program”) for Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) in § 56-585.5 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”). Subdivision D 4 of Code § 56-585.5 requires Dominion to submit annually to the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) plans and petitions for approval of new solar and onshore wind generation capacity (“RPS Filing”). The Commission must determine whether the RPS Filing is reasonable and prudent, giving due consideration to the following factors: (i) the RPS and carbon dioxide reduction requirements in Code § 56-585.5, (ii) the promotion of new renewable generation and energy storage resources within the Commonwealth, and associated economic development, and (iii) fuel savings projected to be achieved by the plan. On October 14, 2022, Dominion submitted its annual RPS Filing to the Commission (“2022 RPS Filing” or “Petition”). The 2022 RPS Filing requests the Commission: (i) Approve the Company’s annual plan for the development of new solar, onshore wind, and energy storage resources (“RPS Development Plan”) in connection with the mandatory RPS Program pursuant to Code § 56-585.5 D 4;
(ii) Grant certificates of public convenience and necessity (“CPCNs”) and approval to construct and operate 8 utility-scale projects totaling approximately 474 megawatts (“MW”) of solar and 15.7 MW of energy storage (“CE-3 Projects”) pursuant to Code § 56-580 D; (iii) Approve to recover through the Rider CE rate adjustment clause (“RAC”) the costs of (a) the CE-3 Projects and related interconnection facilities and (b) two distributed solar projects, representing four distributed solar facilities, totaling approximately 6 MW, and related interconnection facilities (“CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects”) pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6; (iv) Approve an update to Rider CE for recovery of costs associated with solar projects and related interconnection facilities as approved by the Commission in prior RPS Filing proceedings; and (v) Make a prudence determination for the Company to enter into 13 power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) for solar and energy storage resources totaling approximately 270 MW of solar and 49 MW of energy storage (“CE-3 PPAs”) pursuant to Code § 56-585.1:4. RPS Development Plan Dominion states that its RPS Development Plan reports on the Company’s progress toward meeting the solar, onshore wind, and energy storage development targets outlined in the VCEA and presents the Company’s development plan for solar, onshore wind, and energy storage facilities through 2035. The 2022 RPS Filing shows that Dominion has a total of 2,616.0 MW of solar and onshore wind as of August 31, 2022 from facilities that are in operation, under construction, or proposed for approval, including the proposed CE-3 Projects, the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects, and the CE-3 PPAs. For energy storage, the 2022 RPS Filing shows the Company has 167.7 MW of energy storage resources in operation, under construction, or proposed for approval, including the relevant proposed CE-3 Projects and CE-3 PPAs. The Company’s RPS Development Plan calls for additional investment in solar, onshore wind, and energy storage through 2035. For example, by 2035, Dominion projects it will have 13,698.6 MW of utility-scale solar and onshore wind resources in operation. Dominion also projects it will have 2,700 MW of energy storage resources in operation by 2035. The Company states that it plans to use the renewable energy certificates produced by the projects and PPAs shown in its RPS Development Plan towards its annual RPS Program requirements. The Company also provided a consolidated bill analysis calculating the projected monthly bill through 2035 for residential, small general service, and large general service customers for each alternative plan presented in the Company’s 2022 Integrated Resource Plan Update. For Alternative Plan B, for example, the Company projects the monthly bill of a Virginia residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours (“kWh”) per month to be $213.36 by 2035, an increase of $97.18 over the May 1, 2020 level of $116.18, using the methodology approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2020-00134. The Company’s bill projections are not final and all customer rates are subject to regulatory approval. The Company also presents its 2021 RPS Program Compliance Report in the Petition, certifying compliance with the RPS Program for compliance year 2021. CE-3 Projects The Company seeks CPCNs and approval to construct and operate the CE-3 Projects, which consist of seven utility-scale solar generating facilities totaling approximately 474 MW (“CE-3 Solar Projects”), and one stand-alone energy storage resource totaling approximately 15.7 MW (“CE-3 Storage Project”). The name, size, locality, interconnection and projected commercial operation date (“COD”) for each of the CE-3 Projects is provided below: Project Bridleton Cerulean Courthouse Kings Creek Moon Corner North Ridge Southern Virginia Shands

Utility-Scale Storage
The Company asserts that the CE-3 Projects are needed to comply with the VCEA and to serve customers’ capacity and energy needs. According to the Company, the total estimated costs for the CE-3 Solar Projects are approximately $1.187 billion, excluding financing costs, or approximately $2,505 per kilowatt (“kW”) at the total 474 MW (nominal AC) rating. Dominion further states that the total estimated cost for the CE-3 Storage Project is approximately $57.6 million, excluding financing costs, or approximately $3,669 per kW. The Company further states that the federal Inflation Reduction Act, which was effective August 16, 2022, includes various climate and energy provisions expected to have a positive economic impact on the CE-3 Projects and the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects in the form of federal tax credits. The Company states it “is actively reviewing the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act and will provide additional information as this case proceeds when appropriate.” Rider CE Dominion asks the Commission to approve revised Rider CE for the rate year beginning May 1, 2023, and ending April 30, 2024 (“Rate Year”). Pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6, the Company seeks approval to recover through Rider CE the costs of the CE-3 Projects and C-E3 Distributed Solar Projects and the related distribution and transmission interconnection facilities, as well as costs associated with solar projects and related interconnection facilities that were previously approved by the Commission in prior RPS Filings. As to the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects, these projects consist of two distributed solar projects, representing four distributed solar facilities, totaling approximately 6 MW, and related interconnection facilities. The Company asserts that the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects are needed to comply with the VCEA and to serve customers’ capacity and energy needs. According to the Company, the total estimated costs for the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects are approximately $28.7 million, excluding financing costs, or approximately $4,775 per kW at the total 6 MW (nominal AC) rating. The Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $89,154,000 in Rider CE for service rendered during the Rate Year. If the proposed total revenue requirement for the Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its revised Rider CE on May 1, 2023, would increase the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month by approximately $0.38.

NOTICE CE-3 PPAs Prudence Determination In its 2022 RPS Filing, Dominion also seeks a prudence determination for the CE-3 PPAs pursuant to Code § 56-585.1:4 H. The CE-3 PPAs consist of: (i) five PPAs for utility-scale solar generating facilities totaling approximately 254 MW; (ii) two PPAs for stand-alone energy storage resources totaling approximately 49 MW, and (iii) six PPAs for distributed solar generating facilities totaling approximately 16 MW. Dominion asserts that the CE-3 PPAs are needed to comply with the VCEA and to serve customers’ capacity and energy needs. The Company states that it intends to recover the costs of the CE-3 PPAs through Rider PPA, which is one of the rate recovery mechanisms included in the overarching cost recovery framework that was approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2020-00134. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Company’s Petition and supporting documents for the details about these and other proposals.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
School staff deserve a meaningful collective bargaining resolution The collective bargaining resolution passed by seven Prince William County School Board members continues to silence educators regarding work rules, work environment, compensation and benefits. This is not meaningful. What is meaningful? It means
negotiations that include salary, benefits and work environment. Without a voice in these issues, the staffing shortages and culture of villainizing educators will continue. JEROD GAY Prince William County Schools teacher
Allowing workers to speak with a collective voice is important Generational unionism is absent in our state and within Prince William County. Our state and local school board and board of supervisors need to understand the importance of all workers coming together with a collective voice. We know what is required to be
physically and mentally healthy enough to care for your child and how to create a safe learning environment for all students. BRANDIE PROVENZANO Prince William County Schools teacher Bristow

Edward B. Kuranda Edward B. Kuranda, 87, of Gainesville, VA, died November 9, 2022, after a brief illness. Born in Dickson City, PA, Edward was the son of Edward & Jean Kuranda. He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Nancy, sons Kurt Gary (Sue) of Rogers, Arkansas, James Edward (Kim) of Clifton, VA, and daughter, Nancy Massey (John), of Blacksburg, VA, and his beloved grandchildren, Max Kuranda and Jenna Massey. He is preceded in death by his daughter, Judy, and his siblings, Carol, Thomas, and Kathy. Ed was known as Kurt by all who knew and loved him. Ever the patriot, he joined the National Guard at age fourteen. Upon activation during the Korean War, his true age was discovered and he was honorably discharged and invited to return to service when he was older. Upon graduation from Dickson City High School, he joined the USMC, excelling in all challenges and was offered an appointment to OCS, which he declined. For 37 years, Kurt served in a variety of capacities for the Federal Service, traveling throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. After retiring from the Federal Service, he became a consultant for the Smith Corporation. Upon full retirement, Kurt was an accomplished golfer, hunter, fisher, and woodworker. He was a former Scoutmaster, past president of the Jeffersonton Ruritan Club, a member of the American Legion, and a frequent volunteer at community events. He and Nancy moved to Heritage Hunt, Gainesville, VA in 2016 where they enjoyed an active social life, including bocce ball and pinochle. He will be remembered as a fine husband and father, and a doting grandfather. Services are private. Arrangements by Moser Funeral Home Warrenton, VA.
