Dominion Energy Virginia has issued its annual request for proposals to acquire new clean energy projects.

Dominion is seeking solar, onshore wind, and standalone energy storage projects, as well as solar and wind projects co-located with storage.

For solar proposals, Dominion is seeking both utility-scale projects that are greater than 3 MW, as well as distributed projects that are 3 MW or less. For all proposals, the company said it will only consider facilities located in Virginia.

For distributed projects that are 3 MW or less, the facilities must be located within DEV’s service territory where there are location grid benefits to DEV customers. The company also said it encourages the submission of solar and onshore wind projects on previously developed sites, such as former landfills or industrial uses.

Acquisition of the projects is expected to support Virginia’s future energy needs as outlined in Dominion’s most recent Integrated Resource Plan. The projects will also help the company achieve the requirements of the Virginia Clean Economy Act and its commitment to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. 

A separate RFP seeking proposals for power purchase agreements is slated to be issued on September 1.
