Questions

Is 13.52¢ what I pay per kWh with PGEC?
It is what PGEC's residential customers paid on average in 2025: all charges on the bill before taxes, divided by all kilowatt-hours sold, as reported to EIA. Your effective rate depends on your usage (fixed charges weigh more on small bills), your rate schedule and any power-cost adjustment changes since then. Divide a recent bill (less taxes) by its kWh to get yours.
How have PGEC's rates changed?
From 12.68¢ in 2015 to 13.52¢ in 2025: +6.6% in total, or about 0.6% a year compounded. The most recent year moved +3.6%.
Does PGEC offer net metering?
Virginia's investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives credit exported solar at the full retail rate, with credits carried forward for 12 months. The State Corporation Commission's April 30, 2026 ruling on Dominion's net-metering case kept full retail crediting in place. Electric cooperatives net meter under a separate section of the statute (§ 56-594.01). Each cooperative's board sets its own program cap, fees and interconnection paperwork, and at least one Virginia cooperative has reached its cap in the past, so check the current tariff before signing.
