Title: Virginia Energy

URL: https://energy.virginia.gov/

Description: On 1 October 2021, the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy name changed to the Virginia Department of Energy (Virginia Energy). The name change was passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Ralph Northam in April 2021. The Virginia Department of Energy enhances the development and conservation of energy and mineral resources in a safe and environmentally sound manner to support a more productive economy. Created as the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy in January 1985 under Governor Chuck Robb, in 2021 legislation was enacted officially changing and rebranding the agency as a greater focus was placed on renewable energy programs and economic development. Worker safety remains the agency’s top priority as it came into existence after a coal mining disaster in 1983 with the purpose of making service to mining, energy and mineral resources industries more efficient. Virginia Energy’s Coal Mine safety, Gas and Oil and Mineral Mining teams came from Virginia’s Department of Labor and Industry. The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency programs were under the State Office of Emergency Services. And, our Mined Land Repurposing team came to Virginia Energy from the Department of Conservation and Economic Development. The Virginia Department of Energy has offices in Big Stone Gap, Charlottesville and Richmond. The url changed from https://www.dmme.virginia.gov/ to https://energy.virginia.gov/.
