First shared solar provider to come online in Virginia

Majority of customers are low-income households

Portfolio will power more than 10,000 homes

As the first shared solar provider to come online in Virginia, Dimension is providing guaranteed savings to low-income households across the state.

The challenge

Many households in Virginia have limited access to affordable energy options. When the Virginia Clean Economy Act passed in 2020, it created a pathway for change—but turning policy into impact required sustained collaboration. Dimension stepped in, working with Virginia policymakers and local leaders for years to shape the commonwealth’s shared solar framework to prioritize accessibility and affordability.

Our approach

After years of collaboration with policymakers, community leaders, and landowners, we broke new ground in Virginia—bringing the state’s first shared solar projects online in February 2024. Now, we’re expanding our portfolio to deliver clean power to more than 10,000 homes—bringing new generation online quickly while expanding access to affordable energy. With a majority of solar credits directed to low-income households, and through partnerships with organizations like Community Housing Partners, we’re helping reduce energy costs for residents while supporting broader housing affordability across the commonwealth.

[Dimension’s] commitment to bringing shared solar to Virginia aligns perfectly with our mission at CHP to create homes and communities that are healthy, sustainable, and affordable.”

This is one of the nicest looking solar farms that I've seen. I mean, I know it's here, but going back and forth down the road, you really don't even notice it. The way that it's laid out, the property still is beautiful as it was.”
