Dominion's reach, and where Appalachian Power takes over
Virginia Electric and Power Company, which does business as Dominion Energy Virginia, delivered electricity at every sampled address in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Richmond, Newport News, Alexandria and Hampton. That's the Tidewater/Hampton Roads region and the Richmond and Northern Virginia metro areas. Most of the state's population. Roanoke, in the southwest, runs on Appalachian Power instead, a completely separate utility with its own rates and its own outage crews.
Virginia doesn't run a retail electricity market, so there's no shopping involved. The utility holding your address delivers the power and sends the bill directly. Richmond is also unusual in running its own municipal gas department (Richmond Department of Public Utilities) rather than buying from a private gas company. Water is handled by individual city systems our sampling doesn't yet have confident data on.
Virginia utility questions, answered
Who is my electric company in Virginia?
For most of the state's population centers. Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Richmond, Newport News, Alexandria and Hampton. It's Virginia Electric and Power Company, which operates as Dominion Energy Virginia. Roanoke is served by a different utility, Appalachian Power. Territory decides it; there's no choosing.
Is Dominion Energy the same as Virginia Electric and Power Company?

Can I shop for my own electricity plan in Virginia?
No. Virginia doesn't have a retail choice market for electricity. Whichever utility serves your address, Dominion Energy Virginia or Appalachian Power in Roanoke's case, is the one you sign up with directly, with no separate supplier to compare.
