With the solar output of Richmond (PVWatts), a 6 kW system makes about 8,065 kWh a year. On a home that uses 1,000 kWh a month, it cuts the yearly bill by:
| Plan | Bill a year without solar | Savings a year |
|---|---|---|
| 1Residential Service | $2,163.76 | $1,386.44 |
If each solar kWh replaces a kWh bought at the full price within the month (monthly net metering). A lower credit for the power you send to the grid, or a solar fee, makes the savings smaller. Use your own kWh, city and system in the solar savings calculator.

Values read from the text of Schedule 1 and each rider sheet linked from the Dominion Energy Virginia residential rates page. The Exhibit of Applicable Riders (effective September 1, 2026) sets which riders apply to Schedule 1. Rider T1 adds to the Schedule 1 transmission charge. Riders RGGI and PIPP are 0.0000¢ per kWh and are not shown. Dominion does not publish a typical bill with a line breakdown, so the test bills are hand calculations. Exhibit of Applicable Riders.
Commission check (2026-10-15): not confirmed. News reports from September 30, 2026 say that the State Corporation Commission approved the fuel factor that was in effect on an interim basis from July 1, 2026, and approved a plan to finance deferred fuel costs. We could not open the SCC order, so we did not compare with it. Dominion's Rider A sheet still shows the interim filing of May 29, 2026, so this page uses 3.7648¢ per kWh. A new financing charge can be added later. WTVR news report, September 30, 2026.
In 2025, the average Dominion Energy Virginia home that bought its power from Dominion Energy Virginia used 1,038 kWh a month and paid $157.75 a month, 15.2¢ per kWh (EIA-861 data). That is less than the Virginia average of $163.05. Your bill depends on your kWh: use the calculator on this page with the kWh from your bill.
Virginia law lets Dominion recover the cost of approved projects through separate riders. Each rider adds a fixed amount for each kWh. The State Corporation Commission approves each rate.
From June to September, the generation rate for each kWh after the first 800 kWh is higher. From October to May, it is lower.
Rider A started on July 1, 2026 on an interim basis. News reports say that the State Corporation Commission approved it in late September 2026. Dominion's posted sheet still shows the interim filing. We will update this page when Dominion posts a new sheet.
Not by itself. Your bill adds the state consumption tax and any local utility tax. To add it, type the tax rate from your bill in the tax field.
The most common reason is more kWh: heating and air conditioning use much electricity. The season: on Schedule 1, 1,000 kWh costs $183.50 in September and $178.72 in November. The tiers: the kWh above the first tier cost more, so a month with more kWh has a higher average price. More days in the billing period also add kWh and daily charges. To see which reason applies to your bill, use the Why is my bill so high tool on this site: type your bill and an earlier bill, and it shows each reason in dollars.
Your bill can include sales tax, a city fee, a discount, a late fee or a different number of days. Type the number of days from your bill. To add tax, type the tax rate from your bill in the tax field. If your tariff has a discount program, select it in the options.
Your bill shows the kWh for the billing period. Look for the meter reading section or the usage section.
