North Anna generates 1,786 megawatts from its two units — enough electricity to power 450,000 homes. Unit 1 began commercial operation in June, 1978 and Unit 2 followed in December 1980.
North Anna is located in Louisa County in central Virginia, northwest of Richmond.
The facility was named after the North Anna River, which was dammed to form the 9,600-acre Lake Anna reservoir and the 3,400-acre Waste Heat Treatment Facility, used to provide cooling water for the station.
The Lake Anna reservoir and the Waste Heat Treatment Facility have become a popular outdoor recreational area, whose shoreline is dotted with homes, cabins. There are a number of marinas, campgrounds and a large state park on the Lake Anna reservoir.
