US power industry Dominion Virginia Power on May 1 proposed a blueprint for energy plans is expected in 2018 to 2032 in 15 years in Virginia to increase the total installed capacity of 3.2GW of solar power, power generation peak about 80 million families Electricity; 25 years, the target is placed in the total installed capacity of 5.2GW, for 1.3 million households to use. Due to the adjustment of generators, Dominion estimates that the carbon footprint of consumers purchasing electricity from Dominion will be 25% lower than the current situation in the next eight years.

The following are the same as the "
Dominion said in a press release that the main reason behind the launch of the 15-year clean energy program is due to lower subsidies for large solar power plants, natural gas being squeezed into the ranks of renewable energy, and two managed by Dominion and still operating in nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants are carbon-free in the power generation process and are therefore listed by Dominion as one of the clean energy plans.
The company expects the US central government and state government to take measures on greenhouse gas emissions in the future. As early as August 2015, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the clean energy plan (Clean Power Plan) has been proposed in the factory carbon emission reduction measures. Clean Power Plan At the stage of the federal court trial, President Chuanpu also instructed the EPA to review the contents of the plan and decide on the amendment or revocation. Regardless of the results of the Clean Power Plan trial, the US federal government still sees carbon emissions as controlled pollution gas; the Virginia governor, Terry McAuliffe, is also preparing a reduction plan for the state's carbon emissions.
Dominion's 15-year plan also includes the addition of at least 990MW of solar power in North Carolina's northeastern region and Virginia by 2020; the Greensville County power plant, which began construction in mid-2016, began operations in 2019 ; 1,374MW of natural gas generated by 2030; 2021 before the Virginia beach test two wind turbines, a total of 12MW; implementation of the client management plan, Dominion consumers in 2032 to reduce the 1,200GWh electricity the amount.
Dominion CEO Paul Koonce said, "Solar power costs are low enough to make solar power a future choice for consumers in the future.Dominion's plan also points out the role of natural gas and nuclear power, natural gas power clean and reliable, and balance solar energy And nuclear power generation instability; nuclear power generation is 24 hours of operation, and does not produce any carbon emissions for the future of the world's low carbon consensus cornerstone.We believe that solar energy, natural gas, and nuclear power tripartite cooperation, you can achieve low price, Environmental performance and reliability to consumers.
