USA: Dominion Proposes 800 MW Of New Solar And Storage In Virginia

  • The projects are expected to be completed between 2023 and 2025.
  • Construction could support nearly 4,800 clean energy jobs.

Dominion Energy Virginia has asked state regulators to approve nearly two dozen new solar and energy storage projects totaling 800 MW of capacity in the State.

The proposal includes ten solar and energy storage projects, totaling nearly 500 MW, that would be owned and operated by Dominion Energy Virginia. The proposal also includes power purchase agreements (PPAs) with 13 solar and energy storage projects, totaling more than 300 MW, owned by independent developers. The PPAs were selected through a competitive solicitation process.

The projects are part of Dominion Energy Virginia’s third annual clean energy filing and must be approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission. The proposed utility-owned projects require local and State permits before construction may begin.

The projects are expected to be completed between 2023 and 2025 if approved. The project would add around $0.38 to the average residential customer’s monthly bill. 

Construction could support nearly 4,800 clean energy jobs and generate more than $920 million in economic benefits across the State of Virginia.
