Opt Out of Our DSM Energy Efficiency Programs
Choose to opt out and implement your own conservation measures
Dominion Energy North Carolina is committed to meeting present and future energy demand effectively and to provide a reliable supply of energy at the lowest reasonable cost to our customers.
We'll achieve this by offering a balanced portfolio consisting of a combination of new traditional and renewable generation facilities, as well as demand side management and energy efficiency (DSM/EE) programs. These programs are designed to encourage consumers to modify their level and pattern of electricity usage.
North Carolina G. S § 62 133.9(f) and North Carolina Public Utilities Rule R8 69(d) allow the possibility of flexibility for certain large commercial or industrial customers regarding their participation in and paying for DSM/EE programs. Customers may submit an Opt Out Notice Form either via email or postal mail:
