Virginia needs massive new power buildout to meet demand
Original: Virginia's energy demand is rising so fast that under current policies, we need to add twice as much solar, build 16 more wind farms and up to 17 small nuclear reactors
Virginia's electricity demand is growing so quickly that meeting it under current policies would require doubling the state's solar capacity, building 16 additional wind farms, and constructing up to 17 small nuclear reactors, according to reporting by Cardinal News. The figures underline how rapidly the state's energy needs are expanding and the scale of new generation required.
Why now: Rapid energy demand growth in Virginia is driving debate over how the state should expand its power supply.
