A low-commitment way to support renewable energy
Our customers have expressed a desire to have more renewables on the grid and the ability to select their energy generation sources. This innovative program provides an exciting way for Dominion customers to contribute towards sustainable energy and add more solar power to Virginia's grid.
Participating customers choose to purchase energy from solar facilities located in communities throughout Virginia. Program participants then virtually use solar energy, without needing solar panels installed on their home or business.
Interested customers are encouraged to sign up for pre-enrollment to ensure that you will be notified when enrollment is open. Pre-enrollment does not commit you to participation in the program and will not impact your bill. Participation is available on a first-come first-served basis.
On September 11, 2018, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) approved the Virginia Community Solar Pilot. The pilot program application and other procedural information are available on the SCC's website under Case Number PUR-2018-00009.
This program includes executing power purchase agreements with participating solar facilities, developing customer communications, and enhancing the systems required to subscribe customers in the pilot program.
The program is open to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Customers receiving temporary service are not eligible.
The cost is an additional $0.02 per kilowatt-hour. A typical customer using 1000 kWh would pay approximately $20 extra per month at the 100% option.
Residential and commercial customers under 500 kW will have the option to subscribe to 100 kilowatt-hour blocks (max of five blocks) or subscribe to an amount that matches 100% of their monthly electricity use.
Non-residential customers over 500kW are limited to ten blocks (1,000) kWh.
No, nothing will change about how electricity is delivered to your home or business.
The five participating solar facilities are currently under development. The facilities are third-party owned and located in communities throughout Virginia. More information will be available in the near future.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Virginia Community Solar Pilot closed August 22, 2019. Please check back here for future RFP opportunities.
