Dominion Seeks Projects to Expand Solar Development in Virginia
June 28,2019
Dominion Energy Virginia issued a pair of requests for proposals (RFPs) for smaller-scale projects to help lower its customers' carbon footprint.
The first RFP continues the development of the company's Community Solar Pilot program. The voluntary program allows customers to purchase energy from new solar facilities located in communities throughout Dominion Energy Virginia's service territory.
The second RFP encourages the development of solar installations up to one megawatt in capacity, including rooftop installations with a capacity of at least 50 kilowatts (kw).
Both RFPs seek third-party developers to build projects within Dominion Energy Virginia's transmission and distribution footprint.
The solar expansion is enabled by the Grid Transformation & Security Act of 2018.

In addition, the company also plans to issue another RFP in July for large scale solar projects as part of its commitment to have 3,000 MW in service or under development by 2022.
