To: City of Falls Church City Council & Social Justice Advocates

Dear Friends,

To fill out the picture of civil rights achievements at all levels in the City of Falls Church, I submit the following to represent the LGBTQ aspirations and achievements here by way of one of our LGBT champions, Nicholas Benton: LGBTQ Representation In 1985, a founding pioneer in the modern LGBTQ movement, Nicholas Benton, moved into Falls Church and within five years founded and has run a progressive-oriented general interest weekly newspaper, the Falls Church News-Press, that has continued to serve as a binding force in the F.C. community for over 30 years, including spearheading many causes and interests promoting civil rights for all, in addition to the LGBTQ movement in particular. Some of those issues include: 1. In only its second year, in 1992, Benton and his newspaper sided editorially with students of “The Lasso” local high school newspaper in defense of their decision to run a display ad from a gay youth advocacy organization, SMYAL, in what was very heated issue in the City, 2. Benton’s newspaper editorially routinely advocated for equal rights for all in its weekly editions that have been distributed to every household in the City for 30 years.. 3. Benton founded the Diversity Affirmation Education Fund as a component of the Falls Church Education Foundation with two large contributions. The fund’s resources were used to bring diversityaffirmation education programs to the local high school and middle school. 4. Benton sponsored a forum at a local coffee shop in 2003 that featured legendary gay pioneers Frank Kameny and Lili Vincenz. 5. Benton gave over a space weekly for a decade in his newspaper for a column, “Anything But Straight,” written by LGBTQ advocate Wayne Besen. 6. Benton gave over space weekly for over a year in his newspaper to a column by LGBTQ-advocate Johnny Weir. 7. In 2019, Benton and his newspaper co-hosted a seminar in the City in conjunction with the Social Justice Committee of Falls Church, an arm of the Tinner Hill Heritage Foundation, in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots that featured a series of important speeches that will soon be published by Benton in the form of a book. 8. Benton has published best selling books on LGBTQ themes, including, “Extraordinary Hearts, Reclaiming Gay Sensibility’s Central Role in the Progress of Civilization” (2013), “Gay Men in the Feminist Revolution” (2019) and “The Education of a Gay Soul” (2021). 9. In 2019, Benton officially founded LGBT Falls Church as an educational and advocacy organization on behalf of LGBT people. The organization looks to engage the Falls Church community as much as the pandemic allows. 10. Benton has been honored by Equality Virginia as an “OUTstanding Virginian” in 2012 and by the D.C. Pride organization as a “Capital Pride Hero” in 2014. For these reasons and more, I propose that annals of civil rights achievements in the City of Falls Church include recognition of Mr. Benton and these achievements. Best,

Dean R.P. Edwards Director, LGBT Falls Church

What they said about Nicholas Benton’s Extraordinary Hearts, upon which this volume is based:

"A vital, moral book about who we are and who we should be. I admire it and its author enormously." Larry Kramer

"Over the decades, Nick Benton has been a pioneer, daring to express points of view few would risk, the consequences too grave. Fundamental at the beginning of our LGBT movement, as now, is the affirmation of our core values, defined by Benton as the desire for love, truth, commitment and compassion.” Steven F. Dansky

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR AN UPDATE OF THE 100 PERCENT RENEWABLE ENERGY TARIFF, DESIGNATED RIDER TRG CASE NO. PUR-2021-00138

•Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has filed an annual update of its 100 percent renewable energy tariff, designated Rider TRG.

•Rider TRG is a voluntary tariff whereby participating customers can elect to purchase 100 percent of their energy and capacity needs from renewable energy resources.

•Dominion proposes to maintain the same rate for Rider TRG of $3.98 per megawatt hour that was previously approved by the State Corporation Commission in Case No. PUR-2019-00094.

•Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case Information.

On July 1, 2021, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed an application (“Application”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to §§ 56-577 A 5 and 56-234 A of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) for an annual update of its voluntary 100 percent renewable energy tariff, designated Rider TRG. The Application explains that Dominion began offering Rider TRG in July 2020. According to Dominion, as of June 14, 2021, approximately 2,438 customers were enrolled in Rider TRG, and participation continues to grow as more customers become aware of it.

In Case No. PUR-2019-00094, the Commission approved Rider TRG, whereby participating customers can voluntarily elect to purchase 100 percent of their energy and capacity needs sourced from a portfolio of renewable energy resources owned or contracted for by the Company (“TRG Portfolio”) that meet the definition of renewable energy in Code § 56-576. In that case, the Commission approved the following resources for inclusion in the TRG Portfolio: the Scott, Whitehouse, and Woodland solar facilities; the Essex, Williamston Speight, HXOap, Cork Oak, and Sunflower solar power purchase agreements; the Gaston and Roanoke Rapids hydro facilities; and the Altavista, Hopewell, and Southampton biomass units.

Customers electing to participate in Rider TRG pay a premium over standard service that is based on the prevailing market value of retail renewable energy, using the market value of renewable energy certificates (“RECs”) as a proxy for this premium (“Rider TRG Rate”). In Case No. PUR-2019-00094, the Commission approved a Rider TRG Rate of $3.98 per megawatt hour (“MWh”), which was the weighted average value of the RECs produced by all of the resources in the approved TRG Portfolio.

Dominion is not proposing to add any new renewable energy resources to the TRG Portfolio at this time. Further, Dominion proposes to charge participating customers the previously approved Rider TRG Rate of $3.98 per MWh. This represents a charge over standard service of 3.28% for participating customers.

The Company states that it calculates the current market value of the RECs in the TRG Portfolio to be $6.91 per MWh. Dominion, however, is not proposing to increase the previously approved Rider TRG Rate in order to “ensure a successful start of the program,” which is still in its first year of implementation, and to “facilitate new customer enrollment.” Instead, Dominion proposes for the Company to cover the difference between the $3.98 per MWh charged to customers and the full market value of the RECs of $6.91 per MWh, for the period July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022.

Dominion asserts that Rider TRG continues to be just, reasonable, and in the public interest and is designed to hold non-participating customers substantially harmless. Further, the Company states that Rider TRG continues to advance the policy objectives of Code § 56-577 A 5, the Commonwealth Energy Policy set forth in Code §§ 67-101 and 67-102, and remains consistent with the goals of the Virginia Energy Plan to accelerate the development of renewable energy resources in Virginia to ensure a diverse fuel mix and promote long term economic health.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for further details of the Company’s proposals.
