Please support Dominion’s Demand Side Management proposal to the State Corporation Commission (SCC) by sending in comments below.
Dominion hasn’t always been our ally — spending billions of dollars on dirty, coal-fired power. But thanks to your hard work we have finally come to a place where Dominion Virginia Power has proposed meaningful energy efficiency initiatives that could create jobs and reduce our reliance on dirty energy sources. Dominion’s energy-efficiency proposals deserve our support and are currently under review by the Virginia State Corporation Commission.
According to a recent report from the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance, energy efficiency policies could create as many as 28,500 new jobs in Virginia by 2020! To learn more about the specifics of Dominion’s proposal click here.
Fill out the form below to send a message to Virginia’s State Corporation Commission in support of Dominion’s proposed efficiency programs. After all, energy efficiency is the quickest, cleanest, and cheapest way to meet our energy demands.

[...] Making the case for efficiency before the SCC can advance technologies that save consumers money while also seriously reducing our reliance on destructive energy sources. Efficiency – which involves improving HVAC systems, building envelopes, lighting systems, etc. – puts a lot more people to work than any other way of meeting electricity demand, at a fraction of the cost. A 2009 analysis by McKinsey Global Energy and Markets found that the Southeast has the largest untapped cost-effective (i.e., cheaper than other sources of energy) energy efficiency resource of any region of the country. We’re making real progress when it comes to advancing efficiency in Virginia, but we have a long way to go before efficiency is treated as an equal alongside conventional energy sources. The SCC is currently accepting written public comments related to efficiency on Dominion’s grid and there is a hearing in Richmond on March 6. Citizen engagement before the SCC can make a difference, because it’s our interests the Commission is charged with protecting!
