Virginia’s RPS is broken

What are utilities doing? Virginia (Dominion Virginia Power): Voluntary RPS hasn’t created wind or solar Voluntary Green Power Program uses out-of-state RECs Dominion hostile to competition Maryland and DC (Pepco): MD, DC have good RPS and incentives Pepco shines by comparison, needs better net metering Virginia (Dominion Virginia Power): Voluntary RPS hasn’t created wind or solar Voluntary Green Power Program uses out-of-state RECs Dominion hostile to competition Maryland and DC (Pepco): MD, DC have good RPS and incentives Pepco shines by comparison, needs better net metering

What should utilities do? Support—not oppose—legislative reforms Finance solar and renewable energy improvements (like they do generators) Get out of the way of private business solutions Practice transparency Work with localities to achieve their goals Support—not oppose—legislative reforms Finance solar and renewable energy improvements (like they do generators) Get out of the way of private business solutions Practice transparency Work with localities to achieve their goals

What should localities do? Focus on behind-the-meter strategies: energy efficiency, solar, geothermal Use financing, solar mapping Coordinate, streamline permitting Use orgs like VEPGA to negotiate wind power purchases from utilities Hold utilities accountable for real progress Lobby!
