Summary

Virginia House Bill 658 of 2026 would have directed the State Corporation Commission to determine whether transmission cost allocation for Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power, and generation and distribution cost allocation for Dominion Energy, require customers that are not data centers to unreasonably subsidize the costs of serving data center customers. The Division of Legislative Services 2026 Session Summary lists it as failed; the 2026 Regular Session adjourned sine die on 14 March 2026, so it did not become law.

What this does not establish

  • The Legislative Information System bill page (the primary source link) is a JavaScript application whose bill text and history could not be read automatically when checked; the description and outcome come from the Division of Legislative Services 2026 Session Summary, not from a reading of the bill text.
  • 14 March 2026 is the day the 2026 Regular Session adjourned sine die; the Session Summary, which covers the session through that day, lists the bill as failed. The committee or floor action on which it failed, and its exact day, were not opened.

Unresolved questions

None recorded.

Relationships

Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.

  • No related action is recorded.
