Powering Innovation: Virginia Energy Federal Grant Portfolio

Virginia Energy drives innovation and responsible development of the Commonwealth's energy and mineral resources through comprehensive oversight, technical expertise, and strategic programs. To amplify our impact, we actively pursue and manage federal grants that support projects across our divisions, such as clean energy deployment, grid reliability enhancement, mining safety improvements, geological research, land reclamation initiatives, mineral resource development, and workforce training. Through partnerships with state agencies, academic institutions, and industry leaders, we're advancing responsible resource management and development across Virginia's energy, mining, and mineral sectors.

Primary Federal Funding Mechanisms:

• Formula Grants: These grants provide predetermined funding allocations from federal agencies to states based on specific criteria. While these grants guarantee funding levels, Virginia Energy must develop detailed implementation plans to ensure funds advance our state's energy priorities.
• Competitive/Discretionary Grants: Through these grants, Virginia Energy competes nationally to secure additional funding for innovative energy projects. These opportunities allow us to pursue cutting-edge solutions across our diverse program areas.
