Dominion asked for about 822 million dollars in new 2026 revenue plus 345 million more in 2027; the State Corporation Commission cut that to 565.7 million and 209.9 million. For a 1,000 kWh household that means about 11.24 dollars a month more from January 2026 and roughly 2.36 dollars more on top from January 2027. The same order created a new GS-5 rate class for customers over 25 MW, mostly data centers, requiring long contracts and high minimum payments so residential customers do not fund their grid buildout.

This is a structural change in who pays for data center grid buildout rather than a simple rate increase. The new GS-5 class and the direct-connect tariff are both designed to keep those costs on the data centers.
