The following schedule shows when customers of each utility company may have the opportunity to select a new provider, or seller, of electricity and natural gas services.

For Electric Customers: As of January 2004, 3 million Virginians are eligible to choose their electric supplier.

Virginia's other natural gas companies will be permitted to move to full retail choice at their own pace or by directive of the State Corporation Commission. Please note: Consumers who receive electric or natural gas service from a municipal utility should contact their local government regarding any plans to make energy choice available in their service area.
