The 2026 Virginia General Assembly session saw continued focus on electrification, distributed energy resources, and utility regulation, alongside the creation of a new cabinet-level Chief Energy Officer role. A number of energy-related measures have now been signed into law, while others were returned with amendments or carried over, reflecting an evolving policy landscape centered on affordability, reliability, and long-term system planning.
