What is driving Dominion Virginia residential bill increases, 2022 to 2026

A 1,000 kWh residential complete bill rose from about $127 to $176 a month between June 2022 and June 2026, decomposed by function. Clean-energy mandates and distribution (the local grid) drove most of the increase; generation actually fell as legacy power-station riders depreciated.

Stacked area chart of the Dominion Virginia residential 1,000 kWh monthly complete bill by function, June 2022 to June 2026: generation, clean energy, fuel, transmission, distribution, environmental, and efficiency. The total rises from about $127 to $176 per month; by 2026 it is roughly 28% distribution, 23% generation, 19% fuel, 16% clean energy, and 12% transmission.
