Report: Virginia tops states for electricity imports | Virginia
SUMMARY: In 2023, Virginia became the top state for importing electricity, surpassing California despite being less populous. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported Virginia imported 50.1 million megawatthours, making up 36% of its total electricity supply, largely due to the growing demand from data centers—Virginia houses 70% of the world’s data centers. As a result, energy costs for consumers could increase by up to 70%. Pennsylvania, in contrast, led in electricity exports, sending out 83.4 million megawatthours. The report highlighted trends in interstate electricity trade and increased commercial demand contributing to these dynamics.
