We're launching a $10 million Energy Impact Program in West Virginia.

Today, we’re announcing a $10 million Energy Impact Program to support energy innovation and affordability in West Virginia. The first $1 million will go toward the West Virginia Office of Energy across six counties: Putnam, Kanawha, Cabell, Mason, Jackson, and Lincoln.

Many older homes require basic repairs — like fixing roof leaks or outdated wiring — before they qualify for energy upgrades. This funding covers those essential repairs, helping qualifying families access the state Home Energy Rebate program to lower their monthly utility bills.

Additionally, local governments and nonprofits will receive funding through the EECBG program for lighting, insulation, and HVAC upgrades, allowing them to redirect utility savings back into local services.

This initiative is an early step in Google’s long-term investment in the communities near its planned Buffalo data center campus. To check eligibility and apply, visit energywv.org.
