VA Non-Residential Aggregation Pilot Inches Forward
In the Non-Residential Aggregation Pilot Program that was initiated pursuant to 2020 Virginia Acts Chapter 796 the State Corporation Commission (CCA) of Virginia begins to outline participation requirements.
Prior to participating in the Aggregation Pilot, nonresidential customers satisfying the criteria in the new law must file in this docket a notice of intent to participate in the pilot, which at a minimum must include:
- SCC case number under which the nonresidential customers had originally filed an application seeking to aggregate load;
- “Individual demand during the most recent calendar year” of each nonresidential customer that will be participating in the Aggregation Pilot and the aggregated total demand for all of the customers; and
- Certification that the notice of intent to participate has been served on counsel for Dominion.
On February 26, 2026 Harris Teeter filed the 2025 aggregation pilot reports.
As background, CCA of Virginia initiated this proceeding to implement a new state law (see HB889), which directs the SCC to conduct an aggregation pilot program under which two or more nonresidential customers within the Dominion service territory that applied to aggregate load for shopping purposes as of February 24, 2019 to purchase electric energy from any licensed supplier subject to the following terms, conditions, and restrictions:
- Dominion customers only;
- aggregated load participating in the pilot is capped at 200MW; and
- participating customers must file an annual report by 3/31 each year to ensure certain provisions in law related to demand limitation are continued to be met.
