100% Renewable Energy Tariff Approved by SCC for Dominion Energy Virginia

JUL 02, 2020

RICHMOND — The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has approved a renewable energy rate for Dominion Energy Virginia. It allows Dominion customers to voluntarily purchase electric energy provided 100 percent from sources of renewable energy.

Virginia law permits Dominion to design a rate that participating customers may choose to pay to receive all their power from renewable resources. As designed, the rate would charge a premium of $3.98 a month above the standard rate of an average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity, subject to annual adjustments.

Applying applicable Virginia laws, the Commission approved the voluntary renewable energy rider and found that:

The rate is reasonable for the purposes of the renewable energy product that is being supplied.
The participating customer is receiving a product that is provided 100 percent from renewable energy.
The tariff includes safeguards that hold harmless customers who choose not to participate.
