POLICY UPDATE
Virginia AEE submitted comments to the State Corporation Commission stating that Dominion Virginia’s 2020 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) falls short in leveraging lower cost energy efficiency resources in its proposal to meet the Commonwealth’s projected energy needs. The utility's plan fails to incorporate energy efficiency efforts similar to those of comparable utilities and does not achieve the intent of the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA), resulting in $1 billion in higher electricity costs for Virginia customers. “Our review of Dominion’s IRP shows that it fails to adequately consider energy efficiency as a resource, presenting a plan that is unnecessarily costly and attributes excessively high costs to meeting requirements of the VCEA,” said Harrison Godfrey, Executive Director, Virginia Advanced Energy Economy.

Western states are charting a course to rapidly transition the region’s electricity system and transportation sector to 100% clean energy through a combination of aggressive state energy and transportation policies and voluntary utility and large customer commitments. At the same time, extreme heat and wildfires are threatening the electric grid along with life and property. Can a more integrated regional transmission grid with competitive regional wholesale markets help states meet their clean energy targets and their resilience challenges? What role will states have in guiding an expanded regional grid toward these goals while maintaining a focus on achieving their clean energy targets? Register here for the first session of our three-part virtual conference.
