Several potential options are available to developers when permitting energy storage projects in Virginia. The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) adopted Regulations Governing the Deployment of Energy Storage effective as of January 1, 2021. Also, effective as of January 1, 2022, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) adopted Small Energy Storage Facilities Permit by Rule (PBR) Regulations for energy projects 150 MWs or less.
