VA 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.

Your purchase allows you to quantify and lay claim to the environmental benefits that accrue when renewable energy is generated and delivered to the power supply pool. For example, enrolment in the Block Option for $10 per month for one year reduces emissions equivalent to removing a car from the road or planting 146 trees (based on EPA methodology ).

A portion of your purchase is used to help educate Virginians about renewable energy and raise consumer awareness of the benefits of renewable energy. Greater awareness and education translates to greater participation and more renewable energy supported.

The additional cost to participate in the Green Power program is just a penny and a half per kilowatt-hour ($0.015 / kilowatt-hour). The more renewable energy you choose to support the greater the environmental benefits!   There are two Dominion Green Power enrollment options:

• Pricing Details: This option allows you to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) equal to your entire monthly electricity use. This additional cost is calculated by adding a penny and a half ($0.015) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity used to your monthly bill.
• For Example: If you are enrolled in the 100% Option and use 1,000 kWh per month, you can expect to pay $15 more per month for Dominion Green Power (1,000 kWh x $0.015). 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 the regional supply pool which contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions equal to removing one and a half cars from the road for a year.*

When you enroll, your monthly electricity bill will display a separate line item with the additional charge for Dominion Green Power. Dominion does not make a profit on your Dominion Green Power purchase. Check out our cost estimator chart to help estimate the environmental benefits you can create with your purchase.*
