Dominion Virginia Power plans to invest almost $2bn a year to 2020 to add new, clean generation, including $700m for solar energy, and to expand, secure and upgrade the electric grid in Virginia and north-east North Carolina.
Some $2.4bn is for the company’s distribution system, $3.6bn for transmission lines and substations and $3.5bn for new generation and environmental improvements.
Dominion Virginia Power president Robert Blue said: “Our modern way of life requires lots of energy – and that means infrastructure.
“To keep up with energy demand and meet new clean air requirements, Dominion Virginia Power and its parent company are constantly building everything from power stations to power lines, substations to natural gas pipelines.”
