Meeting Virginia’s Growing Energy Demands with Balance, Affordability, and Lower Emissions

Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future is a national coalition working to promote practical energy solutions that combine natural gas with renewables to advance our climate goals and deliver cost savings to residents and businesses.

Virginia is at the center of a massive energy challenge. As the nation’s largest importer of electricity and the home of the world’s biggest data center market, the Commonwealth must prepare for skyrocketing energy demand — all while keeping power reliable, affordable, and clean.

Natural Allies is focused on building public awareness about the essential role natural gas plays in ensuring reliable, affordable, and lower-carbon energy across the state. With more than half of households already depending on natural gas, and with demand projected to surge from AI-driven technologies and data centers, Virginia’s future must be built on an energy mix that unites natural gas and renewables.

We advocate for a balanced, all-of-the-above approach that puts people first — delivering climate progress without compromising energy security or affordability.
