- Summary
- The Virginia General Assembly established the Solar Interconnection Grant Program through
Senate Bill 659 and House Bill 683 (2026) to address one of the barriers facing public-sector
solar development: the cost of interconnecting distributed solar energy systems to the electric
grid. While the cost of solar equipment has declined substantially over the past decade,
interconnection costs, including utility-required system upgrades, protection equipment,
engineering studies, and other infrastructure improvements, have become an increasingly
important factor affecting project feasibility.

- The Solar Interconnection Grant Program, administered by the Virginia Department of Energy
(Virginia Energy), is intended to help offset these costs, enabling public bodies to pursue solar
projects that reduce energy expenditures and increase the deployment of clean energy across the
Commonwealth. The program also supports the Commonwealth's broader interest in
understanding the nature and extent of interconnection challenges facing public-sector projects.
