Connecting your renewable power to the Dominion Energy grid
Net Metering allows customers to interconnect approved renewable generation systems (such as solar, wind, and geothermal) to the electric grid and provide electricity to their own residence or business facility.
That electricity offsets the electricity that would have otherwise been delivered by Dominion Energy. And when you generate more energy than your residence or facility needs, you’ll receive credit from Dominion for the electricity your generator produces and delivers onto the grid.
Several types of renewable energy are potentially eligible for net metering:
Complete Sections 1 through 4 of the Notification form.at the bottom.
Dominion Energy instructional guide for completing the Notification form.
NOTE: Submit the Notification form to Dominion Energy either by scanning and sending via email, or send by US mail to:

600 Canal Place, 11th Floor
P.O. Box 26666
Richmond, VA 23261
We will send return confirmation that the Notification form was received.
We will review the specifications of the proposed generating system and determine if the system is compatible with the electric distribution grid and the existing electric distribution facilities serving the interconnection point.
When the review is completed, we will return a signed copy of the Notification form along with any additional system protection requirements and/or required upgrades to the existing electric distribution facilities serving the interconnection point to enable completion of the interconnection.
Note: A Net Metering Applicant is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable local zoning requirements, building codes, electrical codes, or any other codes or restrictions governing installation and operation of a generation system. Dominion Energy does not review or approve the system equipment selection, installation method, or installation location. Dominion Energy only reviews the proposed interconnection for compatibility with the electric distribution system, based on UL1741/IEEE1547 standards.
Complete Section 5 of the Notification form and resubmit to Dominion Energy . In cases where the applicant or a licensed Virginia Class A or B General Contractor has installed the generation system, a copy of the final electrical inspection signed by the inspection authority may be provided as an alternative to the completion of this section of the Notification form. See the Net Metering FAQs for additional information.
Any residential, commercial, or governmental customer who is served on a standard rate schedule—or a demand-based time-of-use rate schedule which allows a parallel generator interconnection—may participate in Net Metering. Jurisdictional Customers served on the rate schedules below are eligible to net meter. Please consult Dominion Energy for other rates that may qualify.
Net Metering Compatible Rate Schedules
Net Metering is not compatible with Dominion Energy Virginia’s Electric Vehicle Pilot Schedule 1EV.
Maximum renewable generator sizes (AC capacity):
These system sizes are based on the maximum expected AC output of the system after all losses have been applied including panel orientation, shading, and inverter losses.
