“The Virginia State Corporation Commission has approved expansion of new solar and energy storage projects for Dominion Energy Virginia customers totalling almost 1GW.
The approved expansion includes 15 Dominion Energy Virginia projects, as well as power purchase agreements with 24 other projects owned by third-party developers.
Construction of the 15 Dominion Energy Virginia projects is expected to generate more than $880m in economic benefits across Virginia and will support nearly 4200 jobs.
The projects are expected to be completed in 2022 and 2023 and will add approximately $1.13 to the typical residential customers' monthly bill.
Dominion Energy Virginia president Ed Baine said: “This is another significant milestone in Virginia's transition to energy independence.”
