Military and Veterans
Dominion Energy is proud to support our military service members, veterans and their family members and has a long history of doing so. As far back as WWI, our employees sent soldiers care packages and our company’s commitment to the women and men who have served our country continues to this day.
Our commitment to veterans and their families has consistently been recognized by several national organizations and publications, including G.I. Jobs Magazine, which named Dominion Energy a "Top 10 Military Friendly Company" for 2020, the eleventh consecutive year we have been identified as a military friendly company.
Dominion Energy ranks eighth nationwide and is the highest ranking energy company on this prestigious list. The company also earned the magazine’s Top Military Spouse Friendly Employer, Top Military Friendly Supplier Diversity Program, and Top Military Friendly Brand awards.
In 2019, Dominion Energy focused on continuing to grow and expand our military programs. Our Troops to Energy Jobs and 100 Homes for 100 Vets programs and the Dominion Energy Charity Classic are just a few of the ways we have enhanced our efforts. We also launched a brand new Military Fellowship Program to help service members transition from the military to the private sector.
In an effort to recruit and retain top Military and Veteran talent, Dominion Energy also offers a number of benefits to our military employees, including paid leave for Guard or Reserve duty on top of sick and vacation paid time off, a $5,000 student veteran scholarship recognizing five interns/co-ops for military service and access to our Veteran Employee Resource Group which actively supports the veteran community.

Clean Energy
We're investing in renewables, including natural gas, nuclear, solar and wind. We've committed to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, including an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 and a 55% reduction in methane emissions by 2030.
Everyone deserves a clean world, and we all have a role to play in protecting our environment. Our future depends on clean energy. That’s why we have dramatically overhauled our energy portfolio to include more low- and no-carbon sources through large investments in renewables such as solar, wind, and nuclear.
Today, more than 85% of our generation comes from clean energy sources or natural gas-fired generation that supports renewables, and only 13% of our electricity comes from coal. Last year, we met our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions at our power generating facilities by nearly 50% since 2005. We are committing to continue this progress to meet an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions at our power generation fleet by 2050.
Offshore Wind
Construction is underway on our Coastal Offshore Wind pilot project – only the second such project in the country, and the first owned by an electric utility. We expect it to enter service in 2020. The completed project will have the potential to power 500,000 homes.
Solar
We have the 4th largest solar portfolio in the United States. Since 2013, we have invested more than $3.5 billion in renewables and have increased our total solar generation portfolio from 41 megawatts to nearly 2,600. This past year we brought online 136 megawatts of solar generation at six facilities, and we are planning to add another 3,000 megawatts of new solar or wind in Virginia – enough to power 750,000 homes – by 2022.
Nuclear
Nuclear power is the largest source of energy that emits no air pollution and the only one that can provide energy around the clock.
Our carbon-free nuclear fleet will continue to play a central role in reducing and preventing carbon emissions. Our four nuclear stations provide enough energy to power 1.5 million homes in the Southeast, mid-Atlantic, and New England.
Natural Gas
We recognize the urgent need to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. And because different results require different ways of doing things, sustainability and innovation must go hand-in-hand.
We safely and reliably deliver natural gas to 3.4 million gas utility customers and to several manufacturing and industrial customers and other gas utilities. We plan to spend billions of dollars over the next decade to expand and modernize that network of pipes and compressor stations to make it safer and cleaner – and to meet demand growth. And we have plans to use a mix of new technologies and existing ones in order to achieve our goal of reducing methane emissions by 55 percent across our gas business by 2030.
Biomass Fuel
Any material that comes from plants and animals is biomass fuel. In Virginia, biomass fuel comes from waste wood from logging.
We converted three coal-fired power stations to generate 100% renewable biomass energy. The Altavista, Hopewell and Southampton power stations produce only biomass-fired power. Our Pittsylvania Power Station and the Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center can use up to 20% biomass for fuel.
The production of biomass energy creates roughly 300 jobs in Virginia. It also reduces emissions and helps us earn extra renewable energy certificates, which saves our customers money.
