Electric utilities; interconnection service standards, high-demand customers.
Continued from last session
Summary
The bill directs Virginia’s State Corporation Commission to create rules for how electric utilities must provide interconnection service to customers that use 60 MW or more of power. Those customers would have to install on‑site zero‑carbon backup generators covering at least half of their peak demand for new connections, and at least 20 % for existing connections by 2032. The goal is to promote economic growth while keeping the grid reliable and avoiding costly stranded infrastructure.
