Home Energy Report Frequently Asked Questions

Dominion Energy South Carolina residential electric customers are automatically enrolled in the program based on predetermined factors. New participants are enrolled each year based on these factors.

Your Home Energy Report is a tool designed to help you understand and conserve energy. The report compares your home energy usage over time and offers tips on ways to reduce your energy usage and save money.

Reducing our energy usage can help lower the cost to provide energy. It can also reduce the need to build more power plants in the future and ultimately lower bills for everyone.

Eligible customers will receive either a paper or digital report monthly.

Customers who have an email address associated with their electric bill will rotate between a paper report and digital report each month. To add an email to your electric bill, go to https://myenergy.dominionenergysc.com/user/editaccount to update your information.

Customers who do not have an email address associated with their electric bill will only receive paper reports each month.

You are receiving these emails to provide insight regarding the tools and capabilities of the My Energy Portal. If you unsubscribe to these emails you will continue to receive Home Energy Reports.

Extensive research has shown that customers who receive at least some paper reports are more likely to actively engage in the program and save energy and money than digital only report recipients.

To create your comparison, Dominion Energy South Carolina uses energy usage information, public data (such as location, home size, etc.) and customer electric usage. Homes within a 6 mile radius and no more than plus or minus 300 square feet are used for your comparison. To increase the accuracy of the reports, a customer can log in to the My Energy Portal and complete the Home Assessment.

Similar homes are the middle 50% of electric energy users.

Efficient homes are in the lowest 15% of electric energy users, which means that 15% of the homes in your comparison consume this amount of energy or less.

There are a number of energy-saving actions they may be taking such as:

• Adjusting or programming their thermostats to manage heating and cooling costs
• Caulking or weather-stripping around all seams, cracks and openings (windows and doors)
• Upgrading their attic insulation to a minimum R-38(12-14 inches)
• Setting their electric water heater to 120 degrees F and periodically inspecting for unit leaks

You can find the Home Energy Report month at the top right corner of your paper report or top left of the digital report. To compare, review your electric bill for the same billing month as the Home Energy Report month.

When you log in to My Energy Portal all electric accounts associated with the same customer number will display in the right side of the page. However, you will only receive a Home Energy Report for those electric accounts that were pre-selected for the program.
