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 as managing director of state affairs and corporate policy 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.
Dominion officials said earlier in 2025 that the company’s $10.9 billion Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind farm off Virginia Beach is on track to begin powering 660,000 homes in 2026, despite vociferous opposition to wind energy from President Donald Trump.
Prior to Dominion, Blue was an attorney and served as counselor and director of policy under Gov. Mark Warner.
Blue has an MBA from the University of Virginia and a law degree from Yale University, where he was editor of the Yale Law & Policy Review. He chairs the Nuclear Energy Institute board and sits on the boards of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Greater Washington Partnership.
