Account#****************
Since reporting the illegal actions of a Dominion employee who marks my yard with paint and who shows up unannounced for no reason, I have experienced ongoing harassment.
A few days ago I took screenshots showing pending charges of $155 (there is currently a $4 credit on the account) and other information from my bill.
Now, however, today,I am only shown a blank screen when attempting to review current and past bills. I am being intentionally prevented from reviewing my bills past and or present online.
Unless my bills are being altered or fraudulently increased in some way, I see no reason for my being prevented from viewing my account information.
This appears to be further retaliation against me for reporting the actions of a Dominion “stalker.”Business Response

The company has reached out to the consumer to return the call. We have reviewed the attached documentation and have information available to provide the consumer as to why there is a change (credit balance) on their account. Dominion Energy must have access to our equipment as per our terms and agreement and would not be considered trespassing accessing the meter. Please contact the number left and we will be glad to walk through the issue you were experiencing on the web. Thank you.Initial Complaint

Dominion energy is charging me $264 for a bill that was paid on and also i have not received any kind of bill for this price or any type of email about me owing them. I logged in and noticed this bill. This is really impacting my credit and its been almost 2 years and i have received nothing so i don't understand why i owe this amount. When i contact the customer service line no one answers and if someone does they just give you the run around and nothing gets resolved.Business Response

The company records indicate that we have had multiple communications with the complainant in 2024 at which time we provided two separate fraud packets in order to dispute this debt. The company advised the consumer it is required to complete this information, along with obtaining a police report in order to investigate. No further action will be done by the company until the required information has been returned by the consumer.Initial Complaint

I have been trying to contact the Renewable Energy Department with Dominion since late yesterday afternoon and cannot get beyond Dominion's Customer Service Department. I have left three voice mails and sent an email as instructed by Customer Service and they state they have also put in a work order for them to contact me. They even tried to get someone on the line and received voice mail. This issue started when we noticed our solar panel box flashing so we called Broker Solar for a service call. The technician told us that the solar METER box was turned off and that we would have to contact Dominion and that they should reimburse us for the service call. I left a voice mail around 4:50 p.m. on Thursday, May 29, 2025. I called again around 9:00 a.m. this morning (May 30) and again received voice mail. I called Customer Service, was able to speak with a supervisor who pulled the account information and stated that the solar meter was replaced on April 23 - so apparently it has been turned OFF since then. This has caused us a financial issue because we have not been receiving generation credit for the energy which should have been produced by the panels but could not because the meter was turned off. I called again around 1:30 this afternoon, spoke with another supervisor in Customer Service who stated all I could do was leave a voice mail and or send an e-mail to the department because he could not get an employee in that department to answer either. My husband does remember someone coming to replace the meter, however we had no reason to question why it was being replaced as the one for the house was replaced a year or two ago - but that employee did turn the meter back on after he installed the new meter. I would also like written explanation why the meter was replaced, a print out of the electric/solar for the garage meter for the past year to see if we have been properly credited for solar power.Business Response

Security Light has been out since the storm. It was restored and out again in January. The service was not restored until late Feb/Early March. I have been charged the entire time. Was told by Supervisor Keiber on 4/7/25 that Dominion's policy is not to credit. I have been charged for a service that I could not use due to their policy.
He also stated Dominion can to record this outage due to how the lights are installed directly from the pole vs from the power meter. From my outage call to the closing work order, Dominion has a record of when my light was out.
The technician from the 2nd outage informed us that the fix was improperly connected, thus the wiring came apart.
I am charged 17.20 out of 205.95 per month for a service I did not receive. I am asking for credit for the 2nd outage that was 100% at fault by Dominion.Business Response

Dominion Energy apologizes for the recent outage of the consumer's lighting and will be glad to provide a credit for time the light was not operable. We will be in touch with the consumer once it has been resolved.Customer Answer

I've have many communications with Dominion energy in regards to installing a meter to connect a current unit solar system that's installed at the location. They have sent messages leading to no resort. Interconnection Request Application for Project # ******** Your application recently went through a technical review and, unfortunately, has been denied for the following reason(s):

The company has been working with the consumer's solar installers, along with the consumer for the installation of solar energy at their location. Due to incorrect system size, the consumer was required to choose a different program or delay start until guidelines could be met. The correct application for interconnection has been received and the company is in the process of completing the consumer's request. If the customer has any follow questions, they may reach out for our Renewable Energy Department.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: They've (Dominion Energy)had several months to install the meter. The solar company couldn't receive the clear direct issue to resolve the matter each time they make contact they only reach an automatic recording with no way to reach a live representative. They have stalled while purposely delaying this project. The end result needed is to complete the installation of the meter without the extra delay.
Sincerely,
****** ******* **Business Response

Unfortunately, when an installer does not maintain the integrity of the program, it will cause delays. We have outlined the full schedule and delays that were incorporated in that timeline. We will be happy to discuss the cause of the delays with the consumer if he will contact our Renewables Department. We are unable to move forward with a program when a customer and installer has had the wrong size system installed. In January, the consumer was provided a alternative program in order to utilize the system. We apologize for the delays, but we require the application process be in accordance with the system requirements.Initial Complaint

The company has verified the meter reading and determined it to be valid. Consumer has reached out for the company, and they have provided temperature settings that are more to the standard, as the consumer was setting thermostat on a much higher than recommended setting. This will increase your usage and costs. This being the first heating season at this premise for the consumer, therefore understanding that settings and premise details may impact usage, as well. If the consumer has any other questions, please call the company's contact center.Initial Complaint
