About Virginia Energy Consumer Trust
Virginia Energy Consumer Trust (The Trust) was established to educate, provide a forum, and amplify the voice of energy consumers living and working in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Trust is charting a new path forward toward Energy Justice where the principles of reliable, affordable, secure, and sustainable energy are equally assured for all Virginian consumers.
The Trust works to provide a clearer understanding of how energy markets, legislation, regulation, and executive action impacts residential, commercial, and industrial consumers.
The Trust is committed to Environmental and Conservation principals and practices, including; clean air, clean water, protecting the Commonwealth’s land, and wildlife, that has been entrusted to us to preserve for the next generation. The Trust understands that managing these natural resources requires open, transparent, and data-driven decisions that embrace energy justice for all energy consumers. Energy is crucial to powering everything from our homes, cars, and schools to our businesses, national defense, and public infrastructure.
The Trust aims to restore the voice of the Virginia energy consumer – the small business owner, the retiree, the veteran, the military family, the truck driver, the retailer, the home maker, the farmer, the production worker, the waterman, the dockworker, the programmer, etc.
