On April 1, 2024, Dominion Energy Virginia received approval from the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) for over a dozen new solar projects. [1] These projects, totaling 764 megawatts (MW), include four solar projects owned or acquired by Dominion Energy Virginia and 13 power-purchase agreements (PPAs) with independently owned solar projects. Together, they will generate enough electricity to power nearly 200,000 homes at peak output. This approval signifies a significant expansion of Dominion Energy's clean energy fleet, currently the second-largest in the nation. Upon completion, Dominion Energy will have over 4,600 MW of approved solar projects in Virginia, enough to power more than 1.1 million homes. The construction of these projects is expected to create over 1,600 jobs and generate $570 million in economic benefits across Virginia. The projects are scheduled to be completed by 2026 and require local and state permits before construction can begin. Despite the estimated cost adding approximately $1.54 to the average residential customer's monthly bill, Dominion Energy Virginia's rates remain 12% below the national average and 31% below the Mid-Atlantic average. Dominion Energy is committed to providing reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy while working towards achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
