The condensed steam is reheated and the process is repeated. The combustion of natural gas forces turbine blades to spin. The spinning turbine is attached to a generator, which produces electricity. In a combined-cycle plant, exhaust heat is used to create steam. The steam turns an additional turbine and generator to produce more electricity. Steam is cooled in a condenser by water from a nearby river or lake.
The condensed water returns to the plant and the cycle is repeated. Wind How Wind Power Works. Whether the turbines are on land or offshore, the process of creating energy is the same.
Turbines capture wind with their three blades which turn a generator to create energy. Solar How Solar Panels Work. A solar panel is made up of photovoltaic cells. The photovoltaic cells absorb sunlight, passing the energy through the layers of the panels and converting it into electricity.
Coal How a Coal-fired Plant Works. Coal is ground into a fine powder and then burned in a boiler to produce steam. Steam spins the turbine, turning the generator and producing electricity. The steam is cooled in a condenser with water from a nearby river or lake. The cooled steam turns into water and is returned to the boiler to be used again.

If the company were reassessed in the near future, its score would likely worsen. Dominion Energy is not currently on track to meet its own emissions reduction target unless it takes additional action. It needs to ramp up efforts to better align with the pathway required for well below 2-degree alignment.
Current strategic choices, for example to replace coal power with gas, do, in the short term, leave Dominion Energy on an emissions pathway within the cumulative emissions budget traced by its decarbonisation pathway. However, additional decarbonisation actions are needed for the company to remain within this budget longer term.
Dominion Energy plans to permanently close, or put into cold reserve, high-intensity generating assets at Bellemeade, Bremo, Mecklenburg, Chesterfield and Possum Point. Low-carbon business models such as renewables, smart metering and storage are being adopted, but there are no plans to reduce gas power. New nuclear at North Anna is on hold, but new gas plants are going ahead. With new nuclear on hold and a strong commitment to gas in the business model, it will become ever more challenging to decarbonise at the rate required.
