Virginia is a leader in energy policy.
We passed a first-of-its-kind energy consumption tax on data centers.
And now, we're going to be the first state to run a group buying program for home solar and battery storage.
We're taking real action to address high energy costs for Virginians and working to meet rising energy demand across the Commonwealth.
