AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Data Center Debate: Google is considering a data center at Roanoke County’s Wood Haven Technology Park as Virginia lawmakers weigh proposals to pause or restrict new projects. The push for a moratorium comes amid concerns over power demand and local oversight; one state regulator said it lacked authority to stop a data center’s day-long generator run. Energy and Utilities: A proposed 23% electric-rate increase for parts of Southwest Virginia is headed to regulators, while the proposed $67 billion Dominion–NextEra merger faces scrutiny over potential customer costs. Development and Jobs: A $100 million Henrico project will add 279 apartments, and M.C. Dean plans to open modular power-systems manufacturing facilities in Virginia.**
