Green Energy

Dominion Virginia Power customers now have the opportunity to get their electricity supplied by so called "green" energy sources.

What is green energy? It includes renewable energy from sources like wind farms, biomass fuels, hydroelectric dams, and solar panels.

Using renewable energy helps to reduce the quantities of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide that may otherwise be released into the air by the more traditional generation routes.

To learn about energy choice and view a list of Virginia suppliers, go to the:
Virginia State Corporation Commission’s Energy Choice site -- www.vaenergychoice.org

The U.S. Department of Energy’s site, Department of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, lists suppliers who sell renewable energy products. — www.eere.energy.gov/greenpower
