It’s a New Year… and a New Price!

Did you make a New Year’s Resolution to be more environmentally-friendly?  Well, Dominion has an inexpensive and easy way to contribute to the development of renewable energy with the Dominion Green Power® program…and as of January 1st, it’s even more affordable!

The Dominion Green Power program has reduced its price from 1.5 cents per kWh to 1.3 cents per kWh.  That may not seem like much, but trust me, it adds up.

A customer enrolled in the program’s 100% Option (meaning they are purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates equal to their entire monthly electricity use) and using 1,000 kWh per month, can expect to pay $13 more per month on their bill compared to $15 using the old rate.

Customers can also enroll in the Block Option.  Enrolling in the Block Option means the customer can purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in any $2 fixed increment. Each block represents 154 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy and costs $2 (based on a rate of $0.013 per kWh).

Dominion Green Power’s rate is significantly below the national average price of 1.75 cents per kWh for similarly structured green pricing programs.

Your investment in Dominion Green Power is above and beyond Dominion’s renewable energy commitments.  For additional program information, including how to enroll, visit www.dom.com/VAGreenPower.
