4. Page 4 Virginia’s Energy Policy Background

5. Page 5 Virginia Energy Policy No coordinated policy before 2006 General Assembly called for the Virginia Energy Plan § 67-100. Legislative findings 1. Energy is essential to the health, safety, and welfare... economy 2. The state government should facilitate the availability and delivery of reliable and adequate supplies... at reasonable costs 3. The Commonwealth would benefit from articulating clear objectives pertaining to energy issues, adopting an energy policy that advances these objectives, and establishing a procedure for measuring the implementation of these policies.

13. BLUEPRINT VIRGINIA ENERGY

14. Page 14 Recommendations for… Electric Generation As Governor McDonnell and previous administrations have stated, an “all of the above” approach is the fundamental building block of that foundation. Includes coal, nuclear, natural gas, energy efficiency, solar, waste-to-energy, biomass, biofuels, and on and off shore oil, gas and wind. Streamline regulations for sustainable energy production. Plan for and support increased use of distributed energy production.

15. Page 15 Recommendations for… Electric Generation Focus on energy investment opportunities that promote jobs, capital investment, and economic development. Build on Virginia’s affordable energy prices and reliable energy supply as a competitive advantage in recruiting business to the Commonwealth.

16. Page 16 Recommendations for… Energy Efficiency Support state tax benefits for energy efficiency investment that mirror federal tax benefits. Leverage private-sector investments for energy- efficiency improvements in state-owned buildings. Encourage a policy that treats energy conservation investments on par with energy generation investments.

17. Page 17 Recommendations for… Energy Assurance Emphasize the importance of infrastructure investments to energy regulators and companies. Support investments in grid reliability and security to promote the most reliable possible service.

18. Page 18 Recommendations for… Energy Efficiency/Education Strengthen consumer education and technical support for energy efficiency. Bring new energy-efficiency technologies to market through incentives.
