Renewable Energy Pilot Program

The Renewable Energy Pilot Program allows a third party who owns or operates a solar-powered or wind-powered generation facility to sell renewable energy to Dominion Energy Virginia customers via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

The program is an offering from the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC). Qualified customers may enter into a PPA with a third party renewable energy supplier to produce energy from a wind or solar generator located on the customer’s premise.

Participation is open to all Dominion Energy Virginia customers, as long as the guidelines listed in the Virginia State Corporation Commission Order are followed. Any party who intends to enter into a PPA under the pilot program must provide written notice to the Commission and Dominion Energy 30 calendar days before the effective date of the PPA. Follow these steps:

1. Provide written notification of your intent to participate via an email to Renewable.Energy.Pilot@dominionenergy.com AND PURRenewEnergyPilot@scc.virginia.gov. See the SCC website for required information and a template letter. Redact the expected project installation cost in the in the information sent to Dominion Energy Virginia.
2. A Dominion Energy representative will confirm receipt of your notification.
3. Once interconnection approval has been granted, and all changes to existing facilities are made (if applicable), you may begin to purchase power from your third party supplier.

Note: This program is not for residential customers participating in Net Metering.
