HB323 - I support this study. 3 years ago, my husband and I co-founded an organization to object to 5 data centers in our village of Catlett. I am completely disappointed that up until this point, we do not have such a study!

We support HB289 and HB395 as they will enable a broad swath of Virginians , including renters, to afford small-scale solar. We support HB590 as it streamlines approval of residential solar, which will help consumers implement solar projects. We support HB617, as it will expand the very important virtual power plant program so necessary to meeting grid demand. We strongly support HB628 to expand power purchase agreements, a crucial element of meeting clean energy goals. We support HB634 to enhance energy assistance and weatherization. We support HB807's shared solar proposal to improve the viability of that program. We oppose HB369 as it puts nuclear energy in a category that should be reserved for clean, renewable power.

I support having the Department of Energy study the potential uses and best practices for waste heat. I ask you to pass HB323.

The SWVA DCTA supports HB323. While we would like to see regulations and requirements regarding heat created by data centers, a study is a step in the right direction.
