6 Dominion 2009
Dominion Virginia Power’s principal service area of 2.4 million
customer accounts is one of the most durable state economies
in the nation. CNBC calls Virginia America’s “Top State for
Business.” Demand for energy continues to grow in Virginia,
even in economically uncertain times.

The regional transmission organization, PJM Interconnection, forecasts that peak demand for electricity will
grow faster in Dominion’s service area than anywhere else in its 13-state footprint. 1 To help our cus-
tomers save and conserve energy, we provided discounts for the purchase of more than 4 million compact
fluorescent light bulbs in The Home Depot stores. 2 To stay at the forefront of modern energy transmission,
distribution and conservation technology we are investing in “smart meters,” which we introduced in 2009.
3 To ensure 24/7 reliable electric service and meet vital public need, we are constructing 11 power
transmission projects, including one that will help transmit needed electric supply to the energy-hungry
Washington suburbs of Northern Virginia.
