Dominion Energy lands at Stansted as UK grid talks heat up

Dominion Energy flew from Richmond International Airport to London Stansted Airport on June 1, 2026, a 7-hour 24-minute transatlantic hop in its Gulfstream G450, tail number N607D. The flight arrived at 19:31 UTC after climbing to 41,025 feet over the Atlantic.

The same week Dominion Energy's jet landed in Britain, the U.K. energy regulator Ofgem opened a consultation on updated grid-connection rules for North Sea offshore wind farms, per a Reuters report on May 29. Dominion Energy, through its coastal Virginia wind project and partnership with Ørsted for the 2.6 GW CVOW, is the leading U.S. offshore wind developer and has routinely met with European utilities and regulators to align on transmission standards and turbine supply chains.

The flight is the first overseas trip for Dominion Energy's G450 in the recent records — the previous legs traced a Richmond-to-Miami-to-Dallas circuit before returning to Virginia. CEO Bob Blue has not disclosed a public schedule, but a spring meeting with U.K. grid operators ahead of the CVOW construction milestone is consistent with Dominion Energy's stated strategy of matching European best practices, as covered by S&P Global in May.
