Dominion Energy has agreed to supply the Commonwealth of Virginia with renewable energy to power state-owned buildings and facilities. The deal is the largest procurement of renewable energy by a state to meet its own renewable energy needs, according to Dominion Energy.

Belcher Solar, owned by Dominion Energy, in Louisa County, whi
