Dominion Green Power

Your purchase provides an additional revenue stream for renewable energy projects.  Added financial incentives help make renewable generators more cost-competitive and encourage further development and production of renewable energy.  Learn more about how this program works.

Your purchase allows you to quantify and lay claim to the environmental benefits that accrue when renewable energy is generated and delivered to our regional power pool. For example, enrolment in the Block Option for $10 per month for one year reduces emissions equivalent to removing 1.2 cars from the road or planting 162 trees (based on EPA methodology ).  Learn more about the environmental benefits your enrollment creates. 

A portion of your purchase is used to help educate Virginians about renewable energy, raise consumer awareness of the benefits of renewable energy, and spread the word about the Dominion Green Power^® program. Greater awareness and education translates to greater participation and more renewable energy supported.

When available, electric customers in Virginia may choose to buy 100 percent renewable electricity from a competitive supplier. The Company is not currently aware of such an option. However, the Dominion Green Power^® program lets you buy renewable energy certificates to support renewable energy.

The EPA provides a list of green power and renewable energy options.

• Pricing Details: Enrolling in the 100% Option means you are purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) equal to your entire monthly electricity use. This additional cost is calculated by adding a penny and a half ($0.013) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity used to your monthly bill.
• Example: If you are enrolled in the 100% Option and use 1,000 kWh per month, you can expect to pay $13 more per month for Dominion Green Power (1,000 kWh x $0.013). Actual cost will be calculated by Dominion and will vary from month to month according to your actual electricity use.
• Benefit of Participation: If you are enrolled in the 100% Option for one year and use an average of 1,000 kWh each month, you guarantee the delivery of 12 MWh of renewable energy to our regional power pool which contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions equal to removing one and a half cars from the road for a year.*
