The Spanberger administration is seeking public input on Virginia's new energy plan, which aims to establish a 10-year roadmap to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045. A public meeting in Petersburg on August 3 will gather feedback alongside an online survey, with the final report due in October 2026. The plan includes renewable energy sources, small modular reactors, and maintaining fossil fuels when necessary, while addressing rising energy costs and grid reliability.
