Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Businesses who receive bills electronically and properly automate the update of their Accounts Payable and Energy Management systems can benefit from EDI in the following ways:

• Receive billing immediately – no mail delays.
• No handling or filing of paper bills.
• No keying of data into Accounts Payable or Energy Management systems.
• Ease of auditing, reporting and monitoring energy usage.

Additionally, business customers who opt in to automatic updates of the Accounts Payable or Energy Management system to pay bills electronically will benefit in the following ways:

• No postage expense or delays.
• Control over timing of distributions.
• Enhanced cash forecasting.

Dominion Energy's “translation” software converts our billing information to the standard “invoice” format (EDI810 transaction).

This transaction is generated for each customer account billed, in lieu of the traditional paper customer bill. For each customer having accounts billed, the translation software groups together the transactions and automatically places the appropriate “electronic address” on the resulting file of EDI810 transactions.

For Dominion Energy's incoming electronic payments in standard format (EDI820 transactions), the same software is used to convert the data from standard format to that used for payment processing.

To completely automate the bill pay process, make payments by Automated Clearing House (ACH) directly from your bank or financial institution. ACH is secure, efficient and less expensive than paper payment methods.

If you have questions or want to pay your bills by ACH, or if you need the Dominion Energy Virginia/Dominion Energy North Carolina Wells Fargo account number, please email us.
