RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Dominion Virginia Power is seeking bids for up to 20 megawatts of new solar capacity.

The company is soliciting proposals for solar arrays between 1 and 20 megawatts. They would be on line next year or in 2017.

Dominion says the proposals can be either power purchase agreements or the purchase of development projects.

The company said it will announce the results of the solar solicitation in its fourth quarter.
