WV RFI Response – Accelerating Speed to Power
The West Virginia Office of Energy (WVOE) is inviting public input to help shape the state’s response to a U.S. Department of Energy Request for Information (RFI) focused on accelerating large-scale generation and transmission projects.
As electricity demand from new data centers, manufacturing facilities, and other large energy users continues to grow, your insights are vital to identifying high-priority areas for investment and addressing grid infrastructure constraints.
Responses to the WVOE RFI must be submitted electronically to WVOEInfo@wv.gov by 5:00 PM (ET) on November 14, 2025.
