<p>Subsidiaries of <a href="https://www.dominionenergy.com/">Dominion Energy</a> are pursuing power contracts for renewable energy and storage projects in Virginia and North Carolina. In an annual request for proposals (RFP), Dominion Energy Virginia (DEV) and Dominion Energy North Carolina (DENC) are seeking proposals for power purchase agreements (PPA) with new solar, onshore wind, and energy storage projects.</p>

<p>The PPAs will support Virginia and North Carolina customers’ future energy needs as outlined in the Dominion&#8217;s most recent <a href="https://www.dominionenergy.com/about/our-company/irp">Integrated Resource Plan</a>. The projects associated with the PPAs will support local jobs, increase spending in local communities and bring in new tax revenue for local governments.</p>

<p>The company is interested in proposals for five categories:</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New photovoltaic (PV) solar</li>

<li>New PV solar generation co-located with energy storage</li>

<li>New onshore wind</li>

<li>New onshore wind co-located with energy storage</li>

<li>New stand-alone energy storage</li>
</ul>

<p>For solar proposals, the company is seeking both utility-scale projects that are greater than 3 MW, as well as distributed projects that are 3 MW or less. The company will consider facilities located in Virginia and North Carolina. For distributed projects that are 3 MW or less, the facilities must be located within DEV or DENC service territory where there are location grid benefits to Dominion Energy customers. The company also encourages the submission of PPAs from solar, onshore wind and energy storage projects on previously developed sites, such as former landfills or industrial uses.</p>

<p>All participating bidders must register by submitting an &#8220;intent to bid&#8221; form and an executed confidentiality agreement (CA) no later than Jan. 20, 2026. The intent to bid form, CA and other additional information on the RFP can also be found on the Dominion Energy <a href="https://www.dominionenergy.com/about/delivering-energy/renewable-projects/solar-onshore-wind-and-energy-storage-proposals">website</a>. The completed form and signed CA should be emailed to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>. The deadline for submitting proposals is Feb. 9, 2026.</p>
