RICHMOND, Va. – Dominion (NYSE: D) said today that it is
exiting its partnership with CME North American Merchant Energy to develop an

The project, announced last April, is in the initial planning
stages. CME plans to continue the development.
James K. Martin, Dominion vice president of business development,
said:
“Our broader business goals and timing objectives
have caused us to focus on other generation opportunities that are further along
in the development process.

a skilled, knowledgeable developer of world-class generation assets. We wish
them every success.”
Dominion, headquartered in Richmond, Va., is one of the nation’s
