The Code of Virginia (§ 45.2-1712) requires each investor-owned public utility (IOU) that provides electricity service in the Commonwealth to prepare an annual report to the Virginia Department of Energy (Virginia Energy) delineating its efforts to conserve energy. In the report, each IOU is required to disclose its implementation of demand-side management (DSM) programs serving its customers and its efforts to improve energy efficiency and conservation relating to its internal operations. These annual reports are to be submitted by November 1 to the State Energy Office of Virginia Energy. The State Energy Office is required to compile the utilities’ reports and submit the compilation to the Governor and the General Assembly.

For the year 2023, reports were received from Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion Energy, or Dominion), Appalachian Power Company (APCo) and Kentucky Utilities Company d/b/a Old Dominion Power Company (ODP) on or by November 1. Each report includes the respective IOU’s energy conservation efforts during the past year. The reports also include how the IOUs implement their demand-side management (DSM) programs including energy efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR). A copy of each utility’s full report is attached.

Dominion Energy’s report summarizes its current efforts to implement DSM tariffs and programs. ODP’s report discloses its efforts to conserve energy. APCo describes its previous, ongoing and expected demand-side resource activity in the report.
