Dominion Energy Virginia (DEV) is seeking proposals for the acquisition of new solar, onshore wind and energy storage development projects in Virginia.
On 9 May the company will host an informational webinar for interested bidders.
A separate RFP seeking proposals for power purchase agreements will be issued on 1 October.
Acquisition of the projects will support Virginia customers’ future energy needs as outlined in the company’s most recent Integrated Resource Plan.
The schemes will also help the company achieve the requirements of the Virginia Clean Economy Act and its commitment to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Additionally, the sites will support local jobs, increase spending in local communities and bring in new tax revenue for local governments.
Proposals will be accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year.
The company is interested in bids for five categories of development assets.
These are photovoltaic solar, PV co-located with energy storage, onshore wind, onshore wind co-located with energy storage and standalone energy storage.
DEV is seeking both utility-scale projects that are greater than 3MW, as well as distributed projects 3MW or less.
The company will only consider facilities located in Virginia.
As in last year’s RFP, proposals for mechanically complete projects that are 5MW or less will be accepted.
The company also encourages the submission of solar and onshore wind projects on previously developed sites, such as former landfills or industrial uses.
