Virginia Conservation Network and Viridiant released a video on federal climate investments in Virginia to increase funding for Home Energy Rebates, making energy efficiency upgrades more affordable for all Virginians.
VCN is partnering with different organizations to create videos showcasing federal funds being brought into Virginia. Our first partner, Viridiant, highlights the impact of Home Energy Rebates.
VCN is supporting efforts to strengthen energy efficiency across the Commonwealth through the SAVE Act.
August 16th marked the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law. The landmark IRA was the first major piece of legislation passed by Congress to address climate change, and just one year after its passage it is already improving Virginia residents’ lives.
Virginia can lower energy costs, reduce pollution, and spur job growth by implementing ambitious energy efficiency policies.
Virginia’s climate progress was on the line, but the conservation community successfully held off attempts to roll back key climate & energy policy this legislative session.
VCN is defending our participation in RGGI & keeping funds for families to ensure flood resiliency and energy efficiency in homes.
See the Virginia Energy Efficiency Council's map of funds by region for the Affordable and Special Needs Housing program, part of the Housing Innovation Energy Efficiency funds, which are entirely funded through Virginia's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
