The Public Service Commission of West Virginia has filed draft rules for supplying energy to data centers.
In 2025, the West Virginia legislature passed House Bill 2014 and directed the PSC to create a set of rules to address energy questions.
During the legislative debate, some members wanted to require coal-fired power plants to operate at 69% capacity, even if that was not the least expensive option.
Emmett Pepper, the policy director for Energy Efficient West Virginia, noted that language was removed from the final draft
rule.
It's definitely a big improvement.
We still will have some comments on some aspects of it, but certainly on this capacity factor issue, it's definitely improved.
The proposed rule will have to go back to the legislature for final approval.
