Welcome to Old Dominion Electric Cooperative,
based in Glen Allen, Virginia, just west of Richmond. We are a wholesale
power supplier to 12 locally-owned and locally-controlled electric
distribution cooperatives. These local cooperatives, in turn, serve nearly a
half million homes and businesses in some of the fastest-growing areas of
the Mid-Atlantic. Our member cooperatives cover about a third of the
landmass of Virginia and 80 percent of the Delmarva Peninsula. Individual
residences in rural areas and emerging suburbs account for over 90 percent
of our customers.
Old Dominion (ODEC) is part owner of two power stations. We own half of south-central Virginia's 880-megawatt Clover Power Station, a twin-unit coal-fired plant. We also own approximately 12 percent of the nuclear-powered North Anna Power Station in central Virginia. These power stations provide more than half of the generating needs of our member cooperatives: the balance is supplied through wholesale power contractual arrangements with several other utilities. ODEC was born out of necessity in the late
1940's to broker the best possible prices on wholesale electricity for our
member cooperatives. And for half a century Old Dominion has provided
outstanding service, competitive rates and innovative approaches to old
problems. Using this philosophy, we have built a small rural electricity
wholesaler into a billion-dollar cooperative utility. The competitive advantage of electric cooperatives has always been the strong relationships we build with our customers. We intend to flourish in a competitive marketplace precisely for this reason. We are hometown utilities that know their customers and are technologically advanced enough to meet their full energy needs. Again, welcome to Old Dominion Electric Cooperative. Enjoy perusing our home page and let us answer your questions personally at . We are a mature company with a sense of excitement about the enormous possibilities for applying our customer-oriented business commitment to a free and open electricity marketplace. Sincerely, |
