The utility has proposed 15 new Dominion-owned and 32 new PPA projects, in pursuit of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2045.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominion Energy Virginia, in its annual clean energy filing with state regulators, has proposed a 1 GW portfolio of new solar and energy storage projects in the state to make progress toward the goals of the Virginia Clean Economy Act, which requires that 100% of electricity sales in Virginia come from clean energy sources by 2045.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Specifically, the proposal is divided between what would be Dominion-owned projects, and projects that would sell their generation to Dominion under power purchase agreements (PPAs). The Dominion-owned portion of the proposal comprised of 11 utility-scale solar projects, two small-scale distributed solar projects, one combined solar and storage project, and one stand-alone energy storage project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for the rest of the proposed 1 GW of new generation, Dominion\u2019s PPA section of the proposal includes 32 solar and energy storage projects operated by third-party providers, which were selected through a competitive solicitation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominion shares that, if approved, the proposed projects will add approximately\u00a0$1.13\u00a0to the typical residential customer\u2019s monthly bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From: https:\/\/pv-magazine-usa.com\/2021\/09\/16\/dominion-proposes-1-gw-of-new-virginia-solar-storage-by-2023\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The utility has proposed 15 new Dominion-owned and 32 new PPA projects, in pursuit of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2045.
