/ 2011 Summary Annual Report / Dominion Resources /
It began 30 years ago with a bright
idea: that our electric utility ought
to help the state’s most vulnerable
citizens — the unemployed, the
working poor and families facing a
financial crisis with no other place
to turn — meet their heating needs
during the winter freeze.
That idea became our signature
energy-assistance program,
EnergyShare, which has distributed
$52 million to aid 250,000 families — or
more than a half-million people — so
they may remain comfortable in their
homes during the coldest and hottest
times of the year.
We now partner with more than
110 agencies to administer the
program in Virginia, North Carolina
and Ohio. Dominion has directly
supported the campaign with more
than $20 million; our employees have
kicked in an additional $1.4 million
through payroll deductions.
To recognize EnergyShare’s
30th anniversary, we developed
and unveiled a new TV and print
advertising campaign. And we
challenged employees in the three
states to contribute in honor of
the program’s anniversary.
2011 Highlights
Dominion contributed
$4.5 million to
EnergyShare, aiding
more than 20,000 families.
Our customers
contributed more than
$1.1 million and
employees donated
$81,000 to the program.
The company partnered
with more than 110
agencies in three states.
Virginia Gov. Robert F.
McDonnell attended
a special ceremony
commemorating the
30th anniversary of
EnergyShare in the
state and called this
observance to the
attention of all Virginia
citizens.
The program received
the 2011 National Fuel
Funds Network Corporate
Excellence Award, which
recognizes outstanding
achievement by a company
on behalf of its low-income
customers.
Our hallmark EnergyShare program is a success because
of a shared responsibility to help those in need.
