MISSION STATEMENT

1) Advancing Renewable Energy

As Virginia's energy landscape continues to change, renewable energy will play a larger role in meeting the demands of Virginian's. VA-REA's members convene to analyze how best to implement renewable energy, so that Virginia remains "open for business". Currently, VA-REA focuses on increasing public understanding and collaboration around legislative and business issues critical to Virginia's renewable energy economy. VA-REA stakeholders will sit down to discuss how best to implement distributed solar and utility scale solar and wind energy - using best management practices and creative business models - in the best interest of the public.

2) Research & Support

Advancing Virginia's renewable energy initiatives requires access to the most recent news, data analysis and supporting information. VA-REA utilizes its network to pull together the industry's best research and inform our members of the most current data and best practices.

3) Policy

VA-REA focuses on achieving the goals of supportive policy through implementation - effectively applying business models, collaborative approaches, and innovative solutions to current policy initiatives, achieving the goals and intent of targeted legislation.

4) Resource & Education

VA-REA represents Virginia's industry leaders, hosting a wealth of domestic and international experience in the electric and renewable industry. Members will benefit from other member's experiences, while also interacting with advocacy groups and trade organizations to increase awareness of renewable energy business models, Virginia based projects, and the state of renewable energy in the Commonwealth.

5) Networking

Members not only benefit from stakeholder forums, policy updates and access to most current practices in the industry, but also access to the brightest minds in the industry. Networking is a significant purpose of the organization, fostering business partnerships, collaborative projects and creating conversation outside the halls of the general assembly.
