Case Study: Dominion Energy achieves 5-minute emergency notifications and regulatory compliance with Everbridge

Dominion Energy Undergoes Digital Transformation for Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Notifications

Dominion Energy, a U.S. power company with a growing nuclear division and seven nuclear units across VA, CT, and SC, needed to replace outdated, unsupported notification equipment to meet regulatory requirements to alert state and local governments within 15 minutes of an emergency. They sought a standardized, automated solution across their fleet that could communicate immediately across multiple channels and enable agencies to confirm receipt.

Dominion deployed Everbridge’s Mass Notification and Incident Communications to achieve a fleet‑wide digital transformation. The system ensured NRC compliance, cut preparation and send times by more than 50% (bringing average notification time down to about 5 minutes), improved message accuracy with individualized templates, and extended reach to additional stakeholders—helping agencies start decision‑making faster and earning recognition in Everbridge’s 2020 Impact Awards.
