Virginia Energy Sense

Virginia Energy Sense is the state's energy conservation education program. Virginia Energy Sense is the Commonwealth’s energy education program.

Our mission is to help all Virginians understand their energy use and, more importantly, how to save energy easily and cost effectively. Reducing energy consumption will put money in your back pocket. It will also help our state’s economy and clean our air, land and water. That’s why saving energy just makes good sense. Energy efficiency and energy conservation are the most affordable, available t

ools to achieve this goal. Everyone, with just a few simple changes, can do their part to help. The Virginia Energy Sense program provides the tools to educate and empower all Virginians to get involved and lower the amount of electricity they use.
