Naval Weapons Station Yorktown leaders and Dominion Energy signed an agreement on June 6, 2025, to explore building energy resiliency projects at the station. Potential options include solar farms, turbine energy, and small modular nuclear reactors. The initiative aims to ensure reliable power for the station and region amid increasing demand. A site characterization study will take 6-12 months to determine the best project type. York County is also studying potential zoning ordinances for small nuclear reactors.
