We’re defending attacks on the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA), passed in 2020, that outlines a path for Virginia’s two largest electric utilities—Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power Company—to transition to 100% clean energy by 2045 and 2050, respectively.
Virginia Conservation Network hosted a webinar diving into two key pillars of Virginia’s clean energy transition—the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
Virginia Conservation Network hosted an educational series tailored for decision-makers and advocates to learn about Virginia's transition to clean energy.
Five year ago, the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) established a 100% clean energy standard for Virginia.
Virginia Conservation Network advocated for 65 bills this General Assembly session that support the Virginia Clean Economy Act, enables more local solar energy, regulates the data center industry's energy demand, and more.
We must continue advocating for the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) to ensure a healthy future for all Virginians.
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.
VCN and our Partners pursued legislation to defend our clean energy policies, reform utility rate regulation, and expand distributed solar energy.
Installing solar reduces energy burdens and costs for Virginians while making our buildings more energy efficient and clean. It's also critical to hit our 100% clean energy targets outlined in the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA).
