RICHMOND – Today, the House of Delegates passed legislation that will reform how Dominion Energy is regulated. The bill is designed to lower costs for Virginia families, bring more stability, and ensure reliable service in the future. 

"Democrats came into session committed to lowering costs for Virginia families — and we stayed at the negotiating table until we were sure this bill would do exactly that," Leader Don Scott said. "It's the result of years of work — and we welcome the other party coming to the table to get this done. And the truth is, if Governor Youngkin hadn't been singularly focused on giving tax breaks to out of state corporations, we could've done even more for families this legislative session."  

Chair Charniele Herring  says, "Today marks the culmination of efforts to make the Commonwealth work for hard working Virginians. Democrats came ready to fight so that Virginians would see real oversight and reduced costs when it comes to their electricity. This bill will ensure affordability and reliability for years to come." 

"Families and businesses across Virginia are facing higher costs – we all know it and feel it – and today, we acted to change it," said Delegate Rip Sullivan. "While Democratic delegates have spent years tirelessly pushing for reform, today's success is not about scoring political points. It's about lowering costs for families and doing so in a bipartisan way. Today was a good day for every family and every business that has to pay an electric bill."
