/PRNewswire/ — As winter begins, Dominion Energy Virginia customers can make their homes and businesses more energy efficient and help save money on their electric bills with

more than 20 energy conservation programs

ranging from rebates on smart thermostats to energy efficient lighting upgrades.

Through the variety of programs available to customers today, Dominion Energy has helped nearly half a million customers with savings including:

  • Approximately

    58,000 customers

    reached through income-qualifying weatherization programs.
  • Over

    8 million LED bulbs

    discounted. LEDs use up to 90% less energy and last 25 times longer.
  • Over

    42,000 ENERGY STAR® appliances

    discounted in roughly

    500 stores.
  • Rebates issued to

    over 12,000 homes

    through the Home Energy Assessment program and

    3,700 rebates

    issued for small business energy saving measures.

  • Over

    $240 million


    of rebates issued.

More programs are set to become available early next year, including a new smart home program and virtual home energy assessments. Plus, Dominion Energy has filed a proposal with the State Corporation Commission for nine new energy conservation programs that would complement and expand current offerings and provide additional income and age qualifying programs. The filing also outlines a plan to increase customer awareness and cohesively promote the entire portfolio of programs, and to reduce energy consumption for a wide cross-section of customers with the implementation of voltage optimization technology.

“These programs will benefit customers by giving them more control over energy usage, saving them money and also furthering our commitment to a clean energy future,” said

Joe Woomer

, Vice President of Grid and Technical Solutions, Dominion Energy. “We’re proud of our record of offering reliable, affordable energy for our

Virginia

customers but also know customers are seeking to save money near the holidays as costs for other goods and services increase. Taking advantage of energy efficiency programs is an excellent and sustainable way to reduce costs.”

Energy efficiency programs help meet the objectives laid out in the Grid Transformation and Security Act of 2018 and the Virginia Clean Economy Act of 2020 and further Dominion Energy’s commitment to helping customers, while meeting the company’s goal of net-zero carbon and methane emissions across its footprint by 2050.
