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).
