AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoData Centers & Power Grid: Virginia’s data-center boom is colliding with grid limits, with Dominion able to connect only about 10 large-load customers a year and some projects waiting roughly seven years; tech firms are increasingly pursuing “behind-the-meter” power, raising air-quality and clean-energy concerns. Transmission Line Fight: A proposed 115-mile, 765-kilovolt Valley Link line across rural Virginia—from Campbell to Culpeper—faces fierce local resistance over safety, environment, views, and property values, even as demand from data centers is cited as a key driver. Local Housing Protections: A new Virginia law extends the grace period for tenants behind on rent from 5 days to 14, aiming to reduce eviction pressure while renters catch up. Health Care Costs: Health insurers are seeking about a 14% median ACA premium increase for 2027, with rising medical and drug costs and expiring enhanced tax credits blamed.
