Ideas That Move the Commonwealth
VAEEC isn't just a coalition — it's Virginia's research authority for the energy transition. We convene the experts, generate the evidence, and translate both into policy that works for the Commonwealth.
Energy efficiency, grid resiliency, and workforce — the infrastructure of Virginia's clean economy.
Energy Efficiency as the First Fuel
Energy efficiency is the cleanest, cheapest, and fastest energy resource Virginia has. From building retrofits to utility programs to appliance standards, efficiency reduces ratepayer costs, meets growing load demand, and cuts carbon emissions — all without new generation.

Efficiency as Grid Infrastructure
Virginia's grid faces unprecedented pressure — from data center load growth to extreme weather to aging infrastructure. Energy efficiency and demand flexibility are the fastest, most affordable grid reliability resources available, reducing peak demand and deferring costly infrastructure buildout.

The Clean Energy Workforce
The IRA, IIJA, and VCEA are unleashing tens of billions of dollars in clean-energy investment in Virginia. Delivering on that opportunity requires a trained, diverse, sustainable workforce — from HVAC technicians and weatherization crews to program managers and engineers.
