West Virginia can’t power our economy with an outdated, overloaded electric grid. U.S. News & World Report ranks West Virginia near the bottom in economic performance and dead last in infrastructure that supports economic development.
Our power lines are decades old, demand is rising, and officials are raising alarms about major reliability risks. Without new transmission, West Virginia will face more outages, higher costs, and missed opportunities to grow our communities.
West Virginia must modernize its electric grid if we want to turn things around
Modern transmission keeps the lights on, protects families, delivers power from new U.S. energy sources, supports manufacturing, supports affordable energy, and strengthens America in a dangerous world.
Add your name to our petition today to support a stronger, more reliable electric grid for West Virginia and for America.
