Power bills in Orange County

Most of the county is served by Dominion Energy.

Deferred fuel cost recovery (docket PUR-2026-00078) is pending; Dominion Energy says it would add about $7 to $9 to a typical monthly bill. Data center cost allocation and transmission rider (docket PUR-2026-00056) adds about $0.94 a month to a typical bill, decided August 1, 2026. 2025 biennial review base rate increase (docket PUR-2025-00058) adds about $11.24 a month to a typical bill from January 2026.

This case covers Dominion's roughly 922 million dollar deferred fuel cost shortfall, with Dominion proposing to recover it from customers over seven to ten years. A State Corporation Commission hearing examiner has reportedly recommended the shorter seven year repayment option, but no final SCC order had been issued as of September 2, 2026, with commissioners expected to rule by the end of September 2026.
