AG Jones takes action on Virginia’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)

Published Date: Jan 23, 2026

AG Jones today took legal action to pause an appeal in Virginia State Air Pollution Control Board, et al., v. Association of Energy Conservation Professionals, reopening the door for Virginia to rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).  

“Today, the Commonwealth reopened the door for participation in RGGI, which we know lowers costs for the most vulnerable Virginians while holding industries accountable to transition to cleaner, more stable, and more affordable sources of energy. I am proud to have taken steps to correct course and set the Commonwealth back on a path toward long-term affordability and resilience.” – AG Jones
