Dominion Energy Virginia said it has proposed, in its second
annual clean energy filing with the Virginia State Corporation
Commission, the largest group yet of new solar and energy-storage
projects in the state for the benefit of its customers.
The company said the proposed projects are a significant step
toward achieving the goals of the Virginia Clean Economy Act.
The proposal includes 11 utility-scale solar projects, two
small-scale distributed solar projects, one combined solar and
storage project and one stand-alone energy storage project, which
will be owned and operated by Dominion Energy Virginia.
The proposal also includes power purchase agreements from 32
solar and energy storage projects operated by third-party
providers, which were selected through a competitive solicitation
process. Once in operation, the projects will be able to provide
more than 1,000 megawatts of carbon-free electricity, enough to
power more than 250,000 homes at peak output.
Dominion said construction of the 15 utility-owned solar and
energy storage projects is expected to generate more than $880
million in economic benefits across Virginia and will support
nearly 4,200 clean energy jobs. The distributed solar projects and
the stand-alone energy storage project are expected to be completed
in 2022, with the remaining projects planned for completion in
2023, it said.
If approved, the proposed projects will add about $1.13 to the
typical residential customer's monthly bill, the company said.
