About this Event
The Data Center Reform Coalition is excited to announce our 2025 Lobby Day slated for January 20, 2025.
Our coalition is comprised of more than 25 advocacy and nonprofit organizations that span the environmental, conservation, historic preservation, and climate landscape. We represent thousands of diverse communities and voices across Virginia.
Together, we are urging state lawmakers to take action on the unchecked, exponential growth of data centers in Virginia.
Virginia is home to the world’s largest concentration of data centers in the world, dwarfing all other global markets. Each of these data centers consumes as much power as a small city, creating a huge increase in future electricity infrastructure needs, and their continued, unfettered growth will have a disastrous impact on ratepayers, our communities, and the environment.
Several pieces of legislation have been introduced for the 2025 General Assembly session that advocate for a smarter development approach and embrace our four main pillars of reform: Enhanced Transparency, Ratepayer Protections, State Oversight and Tax Incentive Reform.
We believe we can get legislation in place this year to bring about a smarter digital future for our state. Help us spread the word on January 20!
This event is your chance to lobby with fellow advocates in your district for a smarter development approach to data centers in our state. You will be led in your meetings by a lobbying expert, so there is no need to be a seasoned advocate. Moreover, the Coalition will host a prep meeting, open to all who register to answer questions and go over what we are asking lawmakers to support.
