Competitive Service Providers and Aggregators
To be licensed, a competitive service provider (CSP) must
demonstrate to the State Corporation Commission that it has the technical
and financial capability of providing service to Virginia consumers, and
demonstrate that it has access to electricity supply. An aggregator works
like a buying club by pooling together larger numbers of customers and
then purchasing energy from a CSP on behalf of the whole group. A license
may cover the whole state or only the specific service territory of a
local distribution company (LDC).
There are two steps a CSP or aggregator must take in order to make competitive
offers.
- Obtain a license* from the SCC.
- Register with the LDC that serves area where competitive offers may
be available. Registration ensures that the process of switching suppliers
goes smoothly.
Only those CSPs and aggregators who have completed both steps are ready
to make offers. Each CSP and aggregator decides to which consumers it
will market and when to begin such marketing.

Note: Retail competition for electricity supply service
for most customers in Virginia ended on January 1, 2009.
Retail customers may purchase electricity supply from 100 percent renewable sources from licensed CSPs if their local utility company does not offer a 100 percent renewable energy option.
