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.

We plan to offer a Green Power option for all Virginia customers in 2008 — an option that will allow them to purchase some or all of their power needs from environmentally friendly sources.

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