Dominion Energy Virginia is moving forward on clean energy projects, from sources such as solar and wind, to meet its commitment of 3,000 megawatts of renewable energy in operation or under development by 2022.
The company has taken several steps in the three months since announcing the goal, including:
- Surveying non-residential customers about their renewable energy needs
- Seeking bids for up to 500 megawatts of solar and onshore wind
- Requesting approval for 240 megawatts of solar generation in Virginia
- Receiving approval for a Community Solar Pilot for residential, commercial, and industrial customers
- Continuing plans to build two six-megawatt wind turbines off the coast of Virginia Beach
- Engaging with a broad array of stakeholders on future solar development
- Planning a Request for Proposals (RFP) for up to 50 megawatts of smaller scale solar projects in 2019
