2026 State Legislation Priorities: Wins & Losses

We advocate for public policies

that fight climate change across our region and beyond.

NATIONAL

Should we reflect sunlight away from the Earth? With global temperatures spiking ever higher, CCAN supports careful research into geoengineering, following the lead of the world's top scientists.

The Public Service Commission regulates the District’s utilities – Pepco and Washington Gas – and has the power to make or break our climate commitments. Check CCAN’s Docket Dispatch to see if PSC is keeping up with the task.

MARYLAND

Maryland will become the third state to authorize portable, balcony solar projects! This will ensure that ALL Marylanders, whether or not they have roofs, have the opportunity to go solar.

VIRGINIA

A new statewide poll conducted by Global Strategy Group shows that a whopping 92% of likely voters in Virginia believe state lawmakers are failing to properly manage the rapid growth of data centers in the Commonwealth. They want action!
