Renewable Overview

Dominion is increasing renewable energy investments to bring greater diversity to our power supplies and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable energy projects use sources such as solar, wind, wave action and biomass to produce electricity — and protect the environment.

We are committed to expanding our renewable portfolio to help Virginia meet its 12-percent renewable generation target by 2022 and North Carolina's 12.5 percent renewable target by 2021.

We are already in compliance with renewable energy standards in five other states where we do business.

In addition to our renewable energy projects, Dominion offers customers the choice to purchase Green Power. Virginia Green Power became available to customers in 2009, enabling them to offset all or part of their energy consumption with renewable energy.

Dominion's renewable energy investments are well aligned with Virginia's new partnership in a Federal Clean Energy Program.
