Economics, carbon legislation push Dominion to boost renewables output in Virginia

摘要

Dominion Energy Virginia’s plan to comply with sweeping energy legislation that was recently enacted includes a commitment to develop 3,000 MW of solar and wind power, along with the pursuit of offshore wind development, to reduce emissions and strengthen the grid. Virginia’s Grid Transformation & Security Act that became effective July 1 facilitates long-term, sustainable energy investment and grid modernization, while unwinding a rate freeze on Dominion and Appalachian Power that had been in effect since 2015.
