Local Hearing Brief: Plaza 500 Data Center Campus / Edsall Substation — Fairfax County, VA — Full Report

Public-record compilation for the Fairfax County Planning Commission review of the Edsall Substation (county case 2232-2025-MA-00007), associated with the adjacent Plaza 500 data-center campus (campus developer: Starwood Plaza 500 / Starwood Capital Group; 2232 applicant: Dominion Energy). A related Virginia SCC proceeding (PUR-2024-00135) certified related transmission and substation infrastructure; that state certificate is a separate matter from the county 2232 hearing.

This packaging is version 1.2.3. Source cutoff: November 8, 2026 (America/Chicago).

The full PDF organizes retrieved government records, labeled applicant statements, and labeled civic/news statements; side-by-side tables for conflicting distance figures and schedule statements (SCC in-service October 1, 2027 and sunset October 1, 2028; Dominion Energy official Timeline Q2 2028 energization; ERM page still October 2027; extension filing unconfirmed); a sourced evidence table; disclosed gaps (including the still-unposted Planning Commission staff report); and neutral hearing-preparation questions. Construction jurisdiction is Fairfax County (Mason District); Alexandria, VA 22312 appears only as a mailing-style address and is not city jurisdiction.

Source limitations: this review relies on a publicly available copy of the SCC Final Order hosted by Dominion Energy; the official docket version was not independently retrieved, and a page-by-page comparison with an official SCC download was not completed. Some county PLUS fields used in the underlying research come from converted extracts rather than independently archived native pages. A converted extract of SCC Exhibit 30 was used for alternative-cost figures; the native Exhibit 30 PDF was not independently archived. This product is document assembly, not legal, engineering, survey, health, or electric-rate advice. Research was AI-assisted.

Hearing noticed: Wednesday, December 2, 2026, 7:30 p.m. America/New_York, Fairfax County Planning Commission.
