RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The State Corporation Commission is
allowing customers of Dominion Virginia Power and Appalachian Power
to go green.
Regulators on Wednesday approved both companies' requests to let
customers buy renewable energy certificates for some or all of
their electricity usage.
The companies will purchase these certificates from "green"
power sources equal to the amount of renewable energy purchased
through customer contributions.
The energy purchased will come from sources like wind, solar,
falling water, biomass, energy from waste, wave motion, tides and
geothermal power.
Customers will see the additional costs for participating in the
program on their bill.
