2026 Virginia Power 50 List: ROBERT M. ‘BOB’ BLUE
CHAIR, PRESIDENT AND CEO, DOMINION ENERGY, RICHMOND
Virginia Business //March 1, 2026//
Blue oversees Fortune 500 utility Dominion, which has 14,700 employees and provides regulated electricity service to 3.6 million customers in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina and regulated natural gas service to 500,000 customers in South Carolina.
Blue began his career with Dominion in 2005. After holding a succession of executive roles, Blue was named the utility’s president and CEO in 2020 and became board chair the following year.
At the end of 2025, Dominion’s $11.5 billion Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind farm off Virginia Beach was one of five offshore wind projects paused by the Trump administration for 90 days. Dominion filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of the Interior and received a temporary injunction in January, allowing construction to proceed while the lawsuit continues. The project is set to begin powering 660,000 homes in late 2026.
Prior to Dominion, Blue was an attorney and served as counselor and director of policy under then-Gov. Mark Warner.
Blue sits on the boards of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Greater Washington Partnership.
