“We thank the Legislature for advancing policies that strengthen West Virginia’s economy and energy future. From microgrid development incentives to streamlined permitting, forward thinking well-plugging reforms and expanded carbon storage capabilities, these actions give us a strong competitive advantage and further position us as America’s energy state. At the center of it all is natural gas – a resource that delivers jobs, revenue and private investment with no burden on taxpayers. By creating stronger in-state markets, especially in power generation, West Virginia is maximizing the value of our energy richness. GO-WV again applauds lawmakers and Governor Morrisey for laying the groundwork for long-term success.” – Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia (GO-WV) President Charlie Burd
