dominion energyThe State Corporation Commission (SCC) will hold a hearing to consider a request by Dominion Energy Virginia for a new rate adjustment clause aimed at recovering costs incurred to comply with state and federal environmental regulations.

The rate adjustment clause, designated Rider E, proposes a revenue requirement of $113.6 million during the 2019 rate year (Nov. 1, 2019-Oct. 30, 2020) to fund environmental projects at four of the company’s power stations.

According to the company, this rider would increase the monthly bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $2.15.
