Dominion Energy Virginia announces new solar array at Richmond Flying Squirrels鈥� future CarMax Park stadium

• The solar installation is expected to be among the largest in all of professional baseball
• More than 1,700 solar panels will be installed on the roof and staff parking lot after the 2026 baseball season

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dominion Energy Virginia announced today that it plans to install a solar array on the roof and parking lot of the Richmond Flying Squirrels鈥� future stadium.

After the Flying Squirrels鈥� 2026 season, Dominion Energy plans to install more than 1,700 solar panels on CarMax Park鈥檚 two-tiered roof, in addition to five solar-covered carports in an adjacent parking lot. The installation is expected to be among the largest in all of professional baseball, including both the major and minor leagues. It will require local and state approval.

The solar installation will generate about 1 megawatt (MW) of carbon-free electricity, enough to power 250 Richmond homes at peak output. The stadium project will also count toward the company鈥檚 goal of using previously developed land for some power generation projects.

鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled that such an iconic Richmond landmark will help deliver reliable, affordable and increasingly clean power for our customers,鈥� said Ed Baine, Dominion Energy鈥檚 Executive Vice President of Utility Operations and President of Dominion Energy Virginia.

If approved by regulators, the project will add to Dominion Energy鈥檚 growing solar fleet in Virginia, which is the third largest in the country among utilities and produces enough power for more than 750,000 homes at peak output

鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to partner with Dominion Energy Virginia to bring a new solar array to CarMax Park, further cementing Richmond鈥檚 leadership in clean energy,鈥� Flying Squirrels Managing Partner Lou DiBella said. 鈥淭his project isn鈥檛 just about what happens inside the ballpark; it鈥檚 about stepping up as a community partner and using our platform to help bring clean energy to the city.鈥�

鈥淭his solar project represents the kind of integrated, collaborative approach that鈥檚 essential to achieving Richmond鈥檚 clean energy goals,鈥� said Laura Thomas, Director of the City of Richmond鈥檚 Office of Sustainability. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great example of how public, private, and community partners can come together around a shared vision for a more resilient, sustainable future.鈥�

CarMax Park is expected to be completed by the start of the team鈥檚 2026 season and will serve as an anchor in the city鈥檚 newly named Diamond District, currently under redevelopment. The Flying Squirrels are the Double-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants.
