The State Corporation Commission (SCC) approved an price hike to monthly Dominion Energy bills starting next year — although, it is less than what the energy company had initially requested.
Monthly rates will increase in 2026 by an estimated amount of $11.24, according to the SCC. In 2027, the monthly rates will go up by around $2.36. Dominion Energy's requested price hike was initially proposed to be approximately $14.73.
