Power Up for a Cleaner Virginia
As your company ramps up its renewables commitment, REC is ready.
On-Site Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is an important part of REC’s power supply today and will be in the future. If powering your business with renewable energy is a step you’re ready to take, let REC help you get interconnected. Renewable energy systems may lower your energy costs over time, and the electricity you generate is free of carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases. REC has residential, commercial, and agricultural members who are currently interconnected.
Off-site Renewable Energy
REC is increasing its percentage of renewables as part of our existing power supply mix. We have several long-term purchase power agreements (PPAs) for energy generated by wind, solar, and landfill gas resources. We are committed to a goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This means that over time, more energy from your electric bill will come from clean and reliable renewable sources.
Fleet Electrification
REC is fully committed to helping your company meet its electric transportation goals and assisting you in electrifying your fleet or adding electric vehicle charging to your workplace. REC can assist with the infrastructure upgrades and the entire process to bring sustainable benefits to your office and your employees. REC has had electric vehicles in its fleet for years and provides free charging for its own employees. Additionally, REC has interconnected electric vehicle public chargers throughout its service territory.
Battery Storage
REC’s battery storage project provides member-owners with more resilient, sustainable, and affordable energy. REC is ready to help your business in meeting its energy storage needs and resiliency goals.
REC’s 2 MW battery storage project adds value to the grid by:
- Providing resiliency to REC member-owners by temporarily providing electricity when the transmission system fails and the substation and the members served by it would otherwise be without power.
- Managing wholesale power costs by dispatching stored energy during peak times when electricity is more expensive for the Cooperative to purchase.
- Investing in innovative technology to enhance reliability and reduce members’ costs.
Renewable energy, battery storage, and resiliency options abound. Let REC help you with battery storage, on-site renewable energy, and fleet electrification.
