By the assessment of Appalachian Power Co., its monthly bill for an average residential customer was one penny less at the end of 2019 than it was a decade earlier.
A report from the State Corporation Commission looks at a different time frame, from 2007 to 2020, and concludes that bills went up by $42.42 a month, an increase of nearly 64%.
The details quickly get complicated. But this much is clear: Appalachian is seeking a series of future rate hikes - either from the SCC or the Virginia Supreme Court - that would add another $22 to the tab for someone who consumes 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a month in their home.
Dominion Energy has received approval from the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) for nine solar farms totalling almost 500MW.
Six of the nine new solar projects relate to power purchase agreements that were selected following a competitive solicitation process.
Dominion Energy owns and will operate the other three projects, which support approximately 750 jobs and provide more than $100m in economic benefits in Virginia.
The three projects are the 42MW Sycamore in Pittsylvania County, 20MW Grassfield in Chesapeake and the 20MW Norge in James City County.
Dominion Energy Virginia president Ed Baine said: “This is another major step forward in building a clean energy economy in Virginia.
