Multi-Family Shared Solar
During its 2020 Session, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Chapters 1188, 1189, 1239, and 1187 of the 2020 Virginia Acts of Assembly, which added a new section to the Code of Virginia numbered 56-585.1:12. This section established the Multi-Family Shared Solar Program, which provides eligible multi-family customers of Dominion Energy the opportunity to participate in shared solar projects. On December 23, 2020, the Virginia State Corporation Commission adopted rules governing the Multi-Family Shared Solar Program, which can be found at 20 VAC 5-342-10, et seq.
Under the program, eligible multi-family customers may purchase subscriptions in a shared solar facility, which the Code defines as a facility that, among other things, generates electricity by means of a solar photovoltaic device with a nameplate capacity rating that does not exceed 3,000 kilowatts ("kW") at any single location or 5,000 kW at contiguous locations owned by the same subscriber organization. Each eligible multi-family customer that purchases a subscription will receive a bill credit for the proportional output of the shared solar facility attributable to that subscriber.
For entities interested in participating as subscriber organizations in the program, contact the Company. If an entity has a subscriber organization license from the State Corporation Commission of Virginia and is interested in submitting a Multi-Family Shared Solar project for participation in the program, the subscriber organization must submit the Registration Agreement and Coordination Agreement, available at the links below.
