Choosing a New Supplier
Effective Jan. 1, 2002, you can choose the company that supplies the electricity you use. There are several types of competitive service providers and buying groups.

Competitive Service Providers (CSPs) include companies that supply electricity as a retail generation provider. They also include aggregators. An aggregator is a person, local government or organization licensed by the SCC that brings together a group of customers and negotiates the price and other details for electric supply service on their behalf.

For a complete list of suppliers and aggregators doing business or seeking to do business in the Commonwealth of Virginia, visit www.vaenergychoice.org or call 1-877-YES-2004 (1-877-937-2004).
