Dominion proposes 800 MW of new solar and storage in Virginia

The proposal includes 10 solar and energy storage projects, totaling nearly 500 MW, that will be owned and operated by Dominion Energy Virginia.

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

The proposal includes 10 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, that are 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.

Listen to the latest episode featuring cleantech communications veteran Mike Casey and SOLV Energy CEO George Hershman. They discuss building true political power in clean energy and how to overcome NIMBY efforts in communities.


If approved, the projects are expected to be completed between 2023 and 2025, and 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 Virginia, the utility said.

The projects are expected to help meet requirements of the Virginia Clean Economy Act's (VCEA) renewable portfolio standard, which requires Dominion Energy Virginia to generate 100% of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2045.

Two of the projects – Kings Creek Solar and Ivy Solar – would be built on previously developed land in support of the VCEA's requirement for at least 200 MW of solar on brownfield sites.
