Dominion Energy outage leaves 3,500-plus Norfolk customers without power

NORFOLK, Va. — More than 3,500 Dominion Energy customers lost power in Norfolk Sunday evening, the third significant outage to impact parts of the city since Thursday.

The outage, reported around 5:30 p.m., affected customers across several Norfolk neighborhoods, including Olde Huntersville, Young Terrace and Calvert Square, as well as parts of downtown Norfolk, the NEON District and Ghent.

In an email, Dominion Energy said it was bringing in "additional crews to help locate the trouble spot." The cause of the outage had not been released.

Sunday's outage follows two other significant outages in Norfolk in recent days.

Early Friday morning, at least 4,000 Dominion Energy customers lost power, with much of that outage centered around Ghent and portions of the NEON District. Dominion Energy's outage map listed the cause at the time as a "circuit out."

That came less than a day after roughly 1,300 customers lost power in downtown Norfolk Thursday afternoon. Power was later restored.

It is not immediately clear whether any of the outages are connected.
