Dominion Energy's aircraft hops from Edisto to Brunswick amid $5B plant approval

Dominion Energy's Gulfstream G450 (N607D) was tracked departing Edisto Island Private Airstrip (US-7189) on June 29 and arriving at Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (KBQK) 17 minutes later, after a brief hop over the Georgia coast.

If Dominion Energy was aboard, the timing would align with recent regulatory milestones for the company's $5 billion gas-fired power plant near the Edisto River in Colleton County, South Carolina. As reported by the Post and Courier, the S.C. Public Service Commission issued its siting certification order on June 12, clearing the way for Dominion Energy and Santee Cooper to build the 2,200-megawatt facility. The short flight from the Edisto area to Brunswick — a regional hub for coastal Georgia — could suggest a site visit or meetings with project partners.

The movement follows a pattern of aircraft activity between Dominion Energy's Richmond base and the Carolinas, including a flight on June 26 from Charleston-area coordinates to Richmond. With the plant still awaiting a 71-mile Kinder Morgan pipeline permit and the company's proposed $67 billion merger with NextEra Energy under scrutiny in Virginia, the aircraft's itinerary remains a quiet indicator of business in motion.
