In April 2020, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Chapters 1187 (SB 710), 1188 (HB 572), 1188 (HB 1184), 1239 (HB 1647) of the 2020 Virginia Acts of Assembly. The chapters authorize a multi-family shared solar program in the service territories of Dominion Energy Virginia and Old Dominion Power.
System size is limited to 3 MW, up to 5 MW cumulative for systems on contiguous locations owned by the same entity.
Subscriptions are administered by a Subscriber Organization. For facilities with a nameplate capacity greater than 500 kW, the Subscriber Organization must be licensed by the State Corporation Commission. Smaller facilities may be granted an exemption certificate by the Commission.
Becoming a Licensed Subscriber Organization is accomplished by (1) completing a business entity registration, (2) obtaining a license as a Subscriber Organization, (3) Registering with the utility company, and (4) obtaining a minimum of three customer subscribers.
