Affordable, reliable, homegrown power for Virginia
Power Up Virginia is working to ensure every community in Virginia has access to affordable, reliable, and safer energy—now and for decades to come. Our mission is to modernize and strengthen Virginia’s energy backbone so it can support our growing economy and protect families from rising energy costs.
When our communities grow, Virginia’s energy needs grow.
We need a stronger, modern energy backbone that keeps bills predictable and power reliable—built with American ingenuity across the Commonwealth.
By embracing a diverse energy mix, Virginia can continue to deliver dependable energy while keeping electric bills low and attracting high-quality investment.
As electricity demand increases from population growth, economic development, and increased electrification, renewables offer a scalable solution that can be deployed quickly and efficiently. Solar and battery projects can be built faster than traditional generation, helping meet demand without long delays or cost overruns.
Powering the places we call home
Energy powers our lives. Let’s make life better for Virginia families.
Lower Costs Over Time
Solar and wind are among the most cost-effective sources of new electricity generation available today. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, they don’t require ongoing fuel purchases. Once projects are built, operating costs remain low and predictable, helping to stabilize energy pricesfor Virginians.
Battery storage enhances these savings by allowing energy generated during low-cost periods to be stored and used when demand is higher.
Meeting Growing Demand
As electricity demand increases from population growth, economic development, and increased electrification, renewables offer a scalable solution that can be deployed quickly and efficiently. Solar and battery projects can be built faster than traditional generation, helping meet demand without long delays or cost overruns.
Protection Against Price Volatility
Markets are subject to global price swings driven by geopolitical events and supply constraints. Renewable energy reduces exposure to these risks by diversifying the energy mix and relying on domestic, inexhaustible resources. This diversification leads to greater price stability, helping utilities and customers plan with confidence and avoid sudden increases in energy bills.
Built for the Commonwealth.
FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE.
We’re a coalition of organizations, businesses, and neighbors committed to affordable, reliable power, job growth, and advanced energy solutions—made in America to serve Virginians.
Renewable energy, in particular solar, wind, and battery storage, is transforming the way Virginians power our homes, businesses, and communities. Beyond its environmental benefits, clean energy plays a critical role in delivering more affordable and more reliable electricity.
