How Virginia Deregulated Energy Works for Business
Virginia's Electric Utility Restructuring Act created a limited electric choice program. While the full market is not deregulated like Pennsylvania or Texas, qualifying commercial and industrial customers can choose a licensed competitive supplier. Dominion Energy Virginia continues to deliver power and maintain the grid.
We review your account to confirm eligibility, then pull your historical usage through a signed Letter of Authorization. If you qualify, we request bids from licensed competitive suppliers, normalize the offers to a true cost per kWh, and present fixed-rate options. The supplier handles the switch with Dominion, and the new rate appears on your next bill.
