HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) — Dominion Energy customers can expect to see their bill decrease in May.
Customers will see their electric bill drop by about $6 beginning May 1, the company said.
The reduction is due to a drop in the cost of fuel for power stations. Dominion has reportedly worked to make its energy services more affordable — and more environmentally friendly — by using combined cycle power stations and by expanding its renewable energy projects.
Dominion is not disconnecting power services for people who have not paid their energy bills during the coronavirus pandemic; however, the company encourages people to pay their bills as normal to avoid a larger balance later.
