- Company's EnergyShare program offers customers year-round
assistance to pay bills, conserve energy

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 14,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This fall, Dominion Energy will
provide free energy efficiency upgrades to 40 homes in 40 days to
celebrate the EnergyShare program's 40th anniversary. The program
offers year-round, shareholder-funded assistance to those most in
need. Participating customers learn how to save on their energy
bill and reduce energy use. Projects can include other home repairs
and special needs to improve safety and home comfort.
"Our mission is to serve our customers and communities," said
Ed Baine, President of Dominion
Energy Virginia. "We are committed to not only delivering safe,
reliable and affordable energy to our customers but providing a
helping hand when they need it most. We are proud to dedicate
$13 million each year to EnergyShare
and make a difference in our customers' lives."
EnergyShare has provided assistance to over 895,000 families and
individuals since 1982. In 2015, the program got a significant
boost when Dominion Energy pledged $57
million to expand its scope. Since then, more than 121,000
Virginians have received bill payment assistance and weatherization
services, including weatherizing more than 21,000 homes and
providing bill payment assistance to more than 8,800 military
veterans and their families.
The Grid Transformation and Security Act of 2018 further
expanded EnergyShare with a $130
million commitment through 2028 to help more Virginians. The
additional resources will broaden EnergyShare's reach to help even
more vulnerable communities with bill payment assistance, free
weatherization and educational outreach.
By providing help when it's needed the most, EnergyShare can
alleviate the pressure of mounting energy bills and help people
save money by better managing their future energy costs. To apply
for assistance, customers can call 2-1-1 any time of day for a
referral to their local EnergyShare agency. For more details, visit

Dominion Energy will host several home weatherization events
this month in Fairfax,
Richmond, Chesapeake and Crozet. Details for events are
forthcoming.
