Members
The Virginia Energy Independence Alliance is a grass-roots coalition of more than 1,500 citizen members from around the Commonwealth who support the development of Virginia’s natural, technical, and human resources to advance the goal of energy independence. Our advocacy is made possible by the generosity of the following corporate sponsors:
Alpha Natural Resources
Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) is America’s third-largest coal producer and number one metallurgical coal supplier, with production capacity of nearly 100 million tons of steam and metallurgical coal. Steam coal is primarily purchased by large utilities and industrial customers as fuel for electricity generation and manufacturing, and metallurgical coal is used primarily to make coke, a key component in the steel making process. ANR produces, processes and sells steam and metallurgical coal from more than 60 active mines and 14 coal preparation plants located throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Wyoming. ANR is also actively involved in the purchase and resale of coal mined by others, the majority of which ANR blends with coal produced from its mines to create customized products for ANR customers.
