Dominion Super Off-Peak Hours Docket

Mike Weisskopf is looking to coordinate with other SCSC members to approach the Public Service Commission to reinstate full net metering for Dominion SC solar customers. In a routine rate increase last year (Docket 2024-34-E), Dominion introduced Super Off-Peak hours and removed these 1,460 hours/yr from net metering. This is a rate increase for solar customers that routinely have excess Off-Peak hours that should offset these Super Off-peak hours.

This detrimental change to net metering affects current Solar Choice customers. It will affect approximately 10,000 solar customers starting January 1st, 2026 as the first large batch of original Dominion solar customers roll into Solar Choice or what Dominion now calls NEM 3.0.

This change to net metering was not publicly announced. Customers noticed this change in their October 2024 electric bills. Mike is working to establish a docket where customers can communicate with the PSC to reinstate full net metering. Please check back to Collaboration Corner for future updates on how to protest this change to the PSC. If you are interested in proactively participating, please contact Mike at weisskopfmk@yahoo.com
