Published on: 27th April, 2023

Dominion Energy Chair, President, and CEO Robert "Bob" Blue explains how his company plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and become the most sustainable energy company in the country on today’s podcast.

Bob shares his vision of a cleaner, greener future with SunCast Host Nico Johnson, while explaining how the realities of reliability, affordability, and reasonable regulation play into Dominion’s plans.

Dominion is one of the largest regulated electric utilities in the United States, servicing more than 7 million customers in 16 states. The company has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 40% since 2005 and is on track to meet its interim targets for reducing emissions by 2030.

Nico interviewed Bob during the recent University of North Carolina Clean Tech Summit, where Bob also opened the conference with a keynote address on "Roadblocks to the Clean Energy Transition." 

In today's podcast, we bring you the best of Bob's keynote and his conversation with Nico for a well-rounded look at how one leading utility is adapting to the energy transition.
