Energy Plan

In September 2007, Governor Kaine released the Virginia Energy Plan to promote the Commonwealth’s energy independence and to educate consumers on energy conservation and efficiency. The Plan sets a goal of reducing the rate of growth in energy use by 40 percent, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent, and seeks to increase in-state energy production by 20 percent. The Plan also calls for expanded consumer energy education, and capitalizes on areas where Virginia has strategic advantages for economic development and research and development.
