Virginia is at a turning point: electricity demand from data centers is surging, and the choices we make now will shape affordability, reliability, and public health for years. The fastest, most cost-effective way to meet this moment is to build more clean energy—especially solar and battery storage—while expanding access so more Virginians can benefit.
That’s why CCAN Action Fund is supporting a bill to increase our energy storage procurement targets from 3,100 MW to over 20,000 MW. This will allow our state to meet electricity demand with clean energy more easily during storms - and without needing to build more dirty gas plants.
So email your state legislators today. Urge them to support bills promoting storage now!
