VCU's Institute for Sustainable Energy and Environment (ISEE) and Wilder School Center for Public Policy released a report updating a 2020 study on the economic benefits of installing 2,500 MW of distributed solar capacity in Virginia, and whether the state is on track to meet this goal.
Virginia received $156,120,000 through Solar For All. One hundred percent of the funding awarded today is dedicated toward distributed solar investments to benefit low-income and disadvantaged communities.
Clean Energy States Alliance recently released a report outlining how Solar for All state programs, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, will benefit low-income and disadvantaged communities.
VCN is supporting the prioritization of affordable, on-site solar energy to ensure affordable solar for all Virginians.
Large solar developers, leading land conservation and environmental organizations, tribal nation representatives, agricultural interests, community groups, and investors have aligned in a collaboration agreement, emphasizing solar development strategies that prioritize climate, conservation, and community.
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.
The Virginia Solar Initiative and the Virginia Department of Energy hosted a two-part webinar series informing Virginia's rural communities of federal clean energy funding opportunities.
VCN and our Partners pursued legislation to defend our clean energy policies, reform utility rate regulation, and expand distributed solar energy.
