PIPP
The Percentage of Income Payment Program (PIPP) helps eligible, Dominion Energy customers maintain their electric service by making utility bills affordable.
The monthly bill amount, or "PIPP Amount," for customers will be based on a percentage of the household's income and primary heating source.
- 10% of gross monthly household income when the household has electricity as their primary heat source, or
- 6% of gross monthly household income when the household does not have electricity as their primary heat source.
The first PIPP Amount will be due when the customer's account is enrolled in PIPP. If the customer is unable to pay at enrollment, the missed PIPP payment amount will be added to the next bill.
Eligibility Criteria for Assistance:
- Must be a resident of the locality in which application is made
- Must have an active electric account with Dominion Energy
