US energy company Dominion Energy has launched a request for proposals for 500 MW of onshore wind and solar, as part of an ambitious plan to develop 3 GW of clean energy by 2022. The project will be built on the site of the former Royal Dutch Shell oil refinery, which was closed in 2014. Dominion counts Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook among its customers. It has already created tariffs but it remains to be seen if they can be economically competitive, analysts have warned.
