🎉 Fantastic news for Virginia homeowners interested in solar!
The State Corporation Commission just issued a landmark ruling that preserves net metering for Appalachian Power customers. This is a huge victory for solar adoption in Virginia!

What the ruling means:
✅ You'll continue to receive full retail value for excess solar energy
✅ Your ability to bank solar credits throughout the year is protected
✅ No new connection fees or standby charges
✅ The 6% net metering cap remains unchanged

Appalachian Power had proposed cutting compensation by up to 70% and switching to hourly measurements that would have devastated solar economics. The SCC firmly rejected these changes, finding that net metering actually provides net benefits to ALL ratepayers!

With data centers driving massive increases in energy demand, this decision ensures solar remains a powerful tool for controlling your energy costs.

The bottom line: If you've been considering solar, this ruling confirms your investment will be protected and valued fairly for years to come.

The OBBB was signed on July 4th, 2025. This legislation has brought significant changes to solar incentives, particularly the federal solar tax credit.

If you're a homeowner considering solar, now's the time to act to secure the 30% tax credit before it ends in 2025! Commercial projects have a slightly longer timeline, but with added risks due to new FEOC requirements.

🔆🏡 Solar in Virginia could be under serious threat with Dominion Energy's new net-metering proposal. Imagine depositing $1 worth of energy, only to get $0.45 back. That's what's could happen to solar energy, if their new proposal gets approved.

Dominion’s NEM 2.0 suggests:
⚡ Shifting to half-hourly “real-time” netting
⚡ Reduced credit rates for solar energy sent to the grid
⚡ Claiming ownership of SRECs

Act now! Submit your comments to the SCC, contact your legislators, and consider going solar before changes take effect in 2026. Let's secure a bright future for solar in VA!
