SUMMARY:Virginia Solar Social: Toast your Net Metering Win and Stop the NextEra Takeover
DESCRIPTION:Back in May\, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) sided with Virginia ratepayers over Dominion Energy by rejecting the company’s attempt to gut its net metering program. Dominion’s proposal would have made distributed solar far less accessible\, reduced solar jobs\, and increased energy costs for all Virginia families. A record number of public comments and 50+ in-person testimonies helped convince the SCC to protect this valuable resource and maintain the fair\, full retail value of net metering for Dominion Energy customers over a 12-month annual cycle. \n\n\n\nEarly this summer\, NextEra\, America’s largest investor-owned utility\, announced a $67 billion deal to acquire Dominion Energy. In Florida\, NextEra’s has long been known to prioritize profits over all else—the utility has a troubling track record of backbreaking rate hikes\, political corruption\, surveillance and manipulation of press\, and the co-optation of civil rights organizations. This proposed acquisition jeopardizes many of Virginia’s promising regulatory and legislative wins this year and threatens the Commonwealth’s capacity to build long-term energy affordability\, democracy\, and equity. \n\n\n\nJoin Solar United Neighbors\, the Piedmont Environmental Council and other partners to celebrate our regulatory win and unpack what’s at stake with Dominion and NextEra’s proposed acquisition! \n\n\n\nRegister as soon as you can as space is limited!
