Dominion Virginia Power Customers Can Now View and Pay Their Bill Online
RICHMOND, Va. -- Dominion Virginia
Power's new electronic billing and payment service allows customers to view
their electric bills and make online payments through the company's Web site
at www.dom.com.
Called Dominion eBill, the service is free, convenient and
secure. Instead of receiving paper bills and writing checks, customers who enroll
in the plan get an electronic bill online. This lets customers monitor their
bills online and compare their monthly energy usage without dealing with conventional
paper bills. Once customers sign up, Dominion Virginia Power will send them
an e-mail message each month, telling them their bill is available for viewing.
"Dominion Virginia Power wants to provide options and
make bill paying as convenient as possible for our customers," said Edgar
M. Roach Jr., president and chief executive officer. "Dominion eBill allows
customers to bypass the traditional paper bills and postage stamps."
Best of all, customers are still in control. With eBill, customers simply specify
their payment amount and payment date, and the payment is electronically deducted
from their bank account. If customers already participate in the company's Automatic
Payment Plan, they can still choose to view their bill online through this service.
Customers also can choose to pay by a credit card or debit
card on the company's Web site or by a bank account through an eBill provider.
However, these providers may charge a fee for the service.
To access Dominion eBill, customers should go to www.dom.com
and enter the keyword "eBill." Customers can enroll or view
an online demonstration that shows snapshots of the Dominion eBill enrollment
pages, sample eBills for customers and an example of the "My Profile"
area where customers can update their Dominion eBill information at any time.
After a customer receives his or her first eBill, Dominion
Virginia Power will discontinue sending a paper bill. Customers who use eBill
can discontinue the electronic payment method, and return to a paper bill any
time.

energy, with a production capability of more than 3 trillion British thermal
