# List of power stations in Virginia

Sources of Virginia utility-scale electricity generation, full-year 2023:
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Virginia. In 2022, Virginia had a total summer capacity of 29,169 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 89,477 GWh. In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 56% natural gas, 32.3% nuclear, 5.8% solar, 3.5% biomass, 1.5% coal, 0.2% petroleum, 0.1% hydroelectric, 0.1% wind, and 0.5% other.
The Virginia Clean Economy Act of 2020 directs the construction of 16,100 MW of solar power and onshore wind and up to 5,200 MW of offshore wind by 2035, bringing the state's utility-delivered power to 100% renewable energy by 2045. It planned to close all but two coal-fired plants by 2024, with the Virginia City and Clover plants allowed to operate until 2045, though economic conditions may close them earlier.
