WHITE SULPHUR SPRING, W.Va. — Representatives from electric generators and energy suppliers were on hand at the 2018 West Virginia Chamber’s Annual Meeting and Business Summit at The Greenbrier on Wednesday to discuss how they are looking beyond coal.

If we are to recruit companies to work in West Virginia, we need to meet their needs.”
