West Virginia Keeps Losing Power

Our kids will pay the price if we don’t fix it.

Most West Virginia families lose power at least once a year. Many lose it three, four, or more times. Our grid is 50 years old and it wasn’t built for today’s homes.

If we don’t modernize it now, we pass the problem and the cost to our kids and grandkids.

95% of West Virginia voters say it’s time to act. Your leaders need to hear from you.

Here’s what a recent poll of WV voters found:

95% say grid modernization should be a priority for policymakers
68% call it “very important”
65% are more likely to support a pro-grid legislator

But support without action doesn’t fix anything.

Your legislators and the Governor need to hear directly from constituents like you.

IF WE DON’T ACT NOW:

Our kids inherit a grid problem that costs even more to fix
Outages keep happening at the same rate or worse
Repair costs grow as the infrastructure ages further
West Virginia falls behind states that are investing in reliable power

65% of West Virginia voters say they’re more likely to support a state lawmaker who supports upgrading the grid. Your elected officials need to know that number!

Dear [Lawmaker],

I am writing to urge you to take action on modernizing our state’s electric grid.

In West Virginia, we lose power so often, we have gotten used to it. But we should not and cannot continue to accept unreliable power as a part of life. Electricity we can count on is too important to how we live and work today and it is vital to our economy.

As important as this is to me, I am very concerned about what we are leaving behind for the next generation. If we do not modernize our grid now, we pass a bigger, more expensive problem to our kids and grandkids. That is not acceptable.

A recent poll found that 95% of West Virginia voters say grid modernization should be a priority for state policymakers. I am one of those voters, and I am asking you to act now to support updating our generations-old electric grid.

Modernizing our grid means fewer outages for West Virginia families. It means good-paying construction jobs in our communities. It means a stronger, more reliable foundation for our state’s future.

I urge you to support transmission upgrades and grid modernization efforts. West Virginia families are counting on you.

Thank you for your service and your attention to this issue.

Sincerely,
