HEADLINE: “PHANTOM LOAD” MYSTERY: DOMINION ENERGY DATA SHOWS POWER FLOWING TO NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DON’T EXIST

RICHMOND, VA – Dominion Energy is facing a digital ghost hunt after internal grid analysts detected a bizarre anomaly: massive, steady power loads being routed to two “neighborhoods” that appear only on paper—and have never been built.

According to leaked screenshot data shared with The Matrix Report, the utility’s SCADA grid map is registering a consistent 2.4-megawatt drain every evening from 11:47 PM to 3:02 AM from a parcel in Henrico County. The problem? The satellite overlay on Dominion’s own system shows nothing but a treeline and a disused gravel lot.

“This isn’t a meter error,” says former Dominion data auditor Carla Simms, who flagged the issue internally in 2023. “The grid is treating these coordinates like a living, breathing subdivision. Streetlights, HVAC, even phantom smart meters. There are 47 billing accounts tied to addresses that do not exist.”

Further digging reveals a second “shadow node” in Prince William County, mapped to a defunct gas station parking lot that has been empty for 14 years. Yet, Dominion’s load-balancing algorithms list it as “residential high-density.”

When reached for comment, Dominion Energy officials stated: “Our systems occasionally encounter mapping drift due to legacy software. These are non-billable ghost loads with zero impact on service.” However, internal emails obtained by this outlet show engineers privately referring to the phenomenon as “The Echo”—and confirming they cannot manually purge the listed addresses because the system “locks them in like memory.”

Internet theorists have already dubbed it “The Dominion Void,” with speculation ranging from data tampering to “an alien charging station.” One Reddit post reads: “They’re plugging
