Virginia Campaigns : 

Stand Up to Dominion's Dirty Power

As the largest electricity supplier in Virginia and the biggest non-party donor to state politicians, Dominion has a stranglehold on Virginia’s energy policy.

Strengthening Virginia's RPS

Virginia's 2007 voluntary Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) (§ 56-585.2) was meant to make Virginia’s air and water cleaner, and reduce the commonwealth’s emissions of greenhouse gases. Unfortunately, lobbyists for the state's largest utility companies riddled the RPS with so many loopholes that it is not serving this intended purpose.

Bring offshore wind power to Virginia

Virginia boasts a tremendous renewable energy resource: offshore wind. The Chesapeake Climate Action Network is working with other Virginia environmental groups to encourage Dominion Virginia Power and Governor McDonnell to work together to bring offshore wind energy development to the commonwealth.
